I will second the recommendation for Little Miss Sunshine. I saw a promotional screening of it last summer and I have not seen a better movie since. I have already rented and watched it again since it came out on video.
I watched this on the plane at Xmas to Darwin in great anticipation as I had wanted to see it for ages, and although I thought it was v.good and Toni Collette was excellent as usual, I thought it was slightly over-hyped. Still enjoyed it lots tho, don't get me wrong.
just saw little miss sunshine today (we own it) and it was wonderful!! loved loved loved steve carrell in it! imho he should have been best supporting actor worthy
my mother is in love with this movie, she bought it as soon as it came out on dvd, she wants me to watch it so bad
