Little Miss Sunshine

My favorite road movie is Little Miss Sunshine. It is the movie that comes most readily to my mind when thinking of profound, transforming road trips. I have not seen many road films and look forward to taking a larger bite of the road movie cake. Little Miss Sunshine combined the ideals of a "normal" family, love, independence, bitterness, confusion and desire. This movie allowed for the family to grow and develop together and apart. I enjoyed the balance of humor and seriousness throughout the entire movie, I believe that it set the tone for a tale full of turns and bumps.

This movie epitomizes the power and influence the road may have on human relationships.
