Have you watched "Little miss sunshine"? You ought to.
It was kind of slow in the beginning but I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF at the end. I rarely actually break out in laughter to any movie but in this case I couldn't help it.

3. ah, it's a perfect little movie
I was glad to see Alan Arkin win an Oscar for it - even though Eddie Murphy probably deserved it more.

6. What a fun film!
I enjoyed it very much. Even "my fella" who usually likes shoot 'em outs, enjoyed it. Highly recommended!

7. I had to watch it twice to *love* it,
but I did. I can't hear "Superfreak" without thinking of it, naturally. :D

8. Superfreak has taken on a new life after that movie.
I think I will laugh every time I hear the song now.

10. And I loved
"Biker Dad"! I saw that movie on a flight to California. When I got off the plane I was still laughing. I told my sister "I just saw the funniest movie about a little girl who wants to be a beauty queen..." My sister thought I was nuts, but we rented it anyway.

Watched it five times, and decided it's our new favorite movie (the old one was "Baghdad Cafe"). I love that quirky dysfunctional family. I think the message is that "winning" isn't everything. Some things are more valuable, and sometimes we have to lose to find our greatest strength.

11. At the end of that movie,
I thought to myself, "They are all going to be okay. They are not going to be what they thought they would be, but they will be fine."
