Little Miss Sunshine

I had heard good things about this movie, but really didn't know what to expect. I was afraid it may be slapstick, from trailers I'd seen & the fact that Steve Carell was in it, but it really wasn't. It kinda reminded me of National Lampoon's Vacation and who didn't like that movie! Anytime you have a dysfunctional family driving state to state with the body of a dead relative, you just know there's going to be fun! Even the parts that were far fetched didn't turn me off. And there was Toni Collette who I'd only just discovered a week earlier in In Her Shoes. Steve Carell is talented & it was nice to see him in such a great ensemble cast. I'd recommend this as a must see movie.

In Her Shoes

This was one of the first movies I chose to watch this month. I chose it b/c Cameron Diaz was in it & I like her. She was ok in the movie. Shirley MacLaine was good. I thought the movie was pretty good. This was the first time I took notice to Toni Colette who I enjoyed.
