It's easy to see why Little Miss Sunshine was nominated for Best Picture (and the other categories). This movie manages to be hilarious and dramatic at the same time. The cast is amazing. Little Miss Sunshine has an original plot and tells a story about a fairly strange family with a lot of relatively normal problems. In spite of the uniqueness of the family and some of their interactions, it's easy to relate to some of their problems and the way they handle everything life throws at them.
If you missed Little Miss Sunshine in a theatre, it's on DVD now - check it out.
