Wednesday evening:
To the dollar-fifty movies to see "Little Miss Sunshine." Stars Greg Kinnear, Steve Carrell, Alan Arkin, Toni Collette, Paul Dano, Proust, Nietzche, and a VW Microbus.
We laughed out loud, quite a few times. Not sure to whom to recommend it: profane, dysfunctional, sweet, etc. The lead child actress was wonderfully cast. The father's motivational course was cringingly fun to watch--esp with the overhead blocking most of his "9 Points."
It's a movie that reminds you of lots of other movies that you've seen, but which combines all those elements into something really new. LOL humor with no Borat guilt.
FWIW: Who knew how much MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" owed to Rick James' "Super Freak"?

Didn't MC hammer originally refuse to credit the source for his riff, which is the whole song for can't-touch-this. Without SuperFreak there is no Hammer song. Please Hammer, don't rip em off and not give 'em credit. What? Oh yeah. Really old news. :-)

Ya gotta know how old some of us are...also there's the whitebread, suburban Baptist upbringing...
I'd never heard more than a snippet of "Superfreak" until I saw this movie. Had no idea about the controversy.
