Little Miss Sunshine is a loser.

A Chevy Chase-like comedy about a little girl who wins a statewide and enters a national beauty/talent contest, and her talent (taught by her recently deceased raunchy grandfather) is strip tease.

It starts out very, very cute and funny and, after about twenty minutes, heads downhill very rapidly for the next hour and a half or so.

It is not at all worth seeing, EXCEPT FOR one extraordinary thing:

Uncle Frank, the suicidal Proust scholar, who joins our heroine's family to recover from his unsuccessful romance, is played by the same actor who played President Ahmadinajad on the Mike Wallace 60 Minutes interview!!!

No wonder, Iran is doing such a good media-relations job. Their president is a Hollywood supporting actor.
