Little Miss Sunshine
2006
Convinced their little Olive (Abigail Breslin) is beauty queen material, parents Richard (Greg Kinnear) and Sheryl (Toni Collette) load the rest of the family into a van and embark on a life-altering road trip to a California pageant. Richard pushes Olive to win while her silent brother (Paul Dano), depressed uncle (Steve Carell) and nursing-home reject grandpa (Alan Arkin, in an Oscar-winning role) add their own quirks to the mix.

Comedy, Indie
Funny and original, has an "indie" vibe which may turn some off, but I feel this film has earned it. Ending successfully walks line between cringe and hilarity.
