Movie: Little Miss Sunshine

“You don’t talk because of Friedrich Nietzsche.”

Steve Carell playing a suicidal homosexual Proust scholar in Little Miss Sunshine is funny, and he makes that line almost a howler. Trust me. He’s not alone in sparking laughs from material which by rights should not be so humorous. See this movie. The 78 from Metacritic feels spot on.

    I agree with John, SEE THIS MOVIE. I haven’t laughed so much in a movie theater for a really long time. Tough to believe it’ll be that funny when you read/see the premise, but it really delivers. Just a lot of great little moments.
