Little Miss Sunshine

Nothing like waking early Saturday morning to put

the telly on and find out that

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

has just started right on Bravo that my TV was set to.

I adore this movie, Little Miss Sunshine.

It is a true picture of family dysfunction at its finest.

A little overweight girl who desires to be a beauty queen.

I teenage brother who refuses to talk.

A daddy who is struggling to keep and better his job.

A grandpa who supports all his little granddaughter wants to do.

An Uncle who is on suicide watch for wanting to kill himself

and a Mother who is trying to hold all of this family together

and make everyone happy at the same time.

Oh, what all families are made of.

I think it is listed as a comedy but so many family lessons

are explained in this little movie.

Perseverance.

They are going on a trip to give this one little

girl her life-long dream of winning a beauty pageant.

I know not one of those family members believe she has

a chance in hell yet they go on the road trip to support her.

It is so filled with life lessons that are the key to

family happiness.

It is about no matter what, family comes first.

That even in the worst dysfunction there is love

and love conquers all.

At the end of the movie when Olive begins

performing her talent and getting killed for it,

her whole family comes out and does whatever they

must do to have her get through it.

Such is my family.

Through thick or thin, we come together for all

to make it work.

When one is needing all others come to the rescue.

It is a fine showing of what families are about.

If you have never watched this movie,

please do it soon.

It will become one of your favorites.

Happy Saturday!
