Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is an award-winning 2006 comedy film. I watched it on Amazon Prime. It's included in the book 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.

trailer:



Roger Ebert gives it a glowing review and says,
A gentle family satire and a classic American road movie, "Little Miss Sunshine" harks back to the anti-establishment, countercultural comedies of the 1970s such as "Smile" or "Harold and Maude" -- satirical fairy tales that preached the virtues of nonconformity over the superficiality of conventional American values.
Common Sense Media gives it 4 out of 5 stars and calls it "a hilarious but mature family road trip movie." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 91%.
