Is it a "smoke and watch" kind of flick???
You mean, is it a movie? Yes :D
Pretty good movie too.

I saw this with my wife last weekend. We both absolutely loved it. Best flick I have seen in years.
My in-laws saw it on our recommendation and also loved it. The movie definitely has a broad appeal. I expect it to get a couple of nominations come oscar time.

It could be.
saw it right when it came out, i had been waiting for the release. it was a great movie with a great cast. sort of a dark comedy but it was probably my favorite movie of 06 so far
Yeah I was thinking it was my favorite so far this yr also. Although I really do not go to theaters to see movies often so the choices are slim.

Plot Summary for
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the Little Miss Sunshine contest. Her family wants her dream to come true, but they are so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Olive\'s father Richard is a flop as a motivational speaker, and is barely on speaking terms with her mother. Her uncle Frank, a renowned Proust scholar, has attempted suicide following an unsuccessful romance with a male graduate student. Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, has taken a vow of silence, which allows him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him. And Olive\'s grandfather is a ne\'er-do-well with a drug habit, but at least he enthusiastically coaches Olive in her contest talent routine. Circumstances conspire to put the entire family on the road together with the goal of getting Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine contest in far off California.

I saw the preview last night, in a state of confusion, I was not sure what it was but it doesn\'t look like a movie that will pull me out of the house, not many movies do these days.

all I know is Steve Corell is in it (Daily Show) so that bodes well for it

this movie definitely looks weird... it could either be really funny or really stupid. I\'m gonna wait for .info\'s final verdict before i waste any $$ seeing this!

uh wow. Really funny movie. Great cast.
If you are lucky enough to be near a theater that is running it you should check it out.
