I just saw the film little miss sunshine, and I really enjoyed it.

I found it to be funny (but not annoyingly funny) and have a nice (but not sickeningly nice) ending .

Also the little girl in the film, Olive, is absurdly cute.

really cute. 

and also I have a soft spot for Toni Collette. no real reason. I just like her.
(and the guy from 40yr old virgin! yeah!)

 

Any one else seen this film??

I love this movie, too. So did my sixteen year old son. It is a rare Hollywood movie that promotes a healthy body image for young girls. I also liked the way the family showed so much support for each other. It was interesting that the little girl was such a scandal at the little girl beauty pageant when those events scarily sexualize children. They are really disgusting. A really good documentary on the subject is called "Million Dollar Babies".

I absolutely LOVE Toni Collette. She is wonderful. Have you seen Murial's Wedding?

 

Love is when you don't ever want to sleep, because reality is better than any dream

I was coerced into watching this film, only to come away glad I saw it. Suprising how good it was for all of us. Olive is amazing.

I'll admit that I like the relaxation of their return policy, but you should be aware (if you're not already) of what they don't publicize quite so prominently...

"...if a member chooses to keep a rental item for more than a week after the end of the rental period, BLOCKBUSTER will automatically convert the rental to a sale on the eighth (8th) day after the end of the rental period. BLOCKBUSTER will post to the membership account and/or credit card the selling price for the item in effect at the time of the rental. If the member returns the item within 30 days of the sale date, BLOCKBUSTER will credit back to the membership account and/or credit card the amount previously charged. The member will be charged a one-time restocking fee of $1.75 per unit per transaction plus applicable taxes. These rental terms are subject to change without notice at any time."

You can read the whole thing here .

I also just spotted something on the news aggregator about streaming movie downloads  which led me to here and which you may find interesting too.
