Staff Picks Series Every month a member of the Moxie staff picks a film that impacted their lives and we put it up on the big screen. September's pick was made by Lindsey Hansen. **What do you love about this film, and why do you want to share it with others?** “I love this movie because it shows how deep love can run in a family. The cast is spectacular. I admire that this film shows that in between the painful parts of life, there are still happy moments.” Free for Members Summary: Little Miss Sunshine is an American family road comedy that shatters the mold. Brazenly satirical and yet deeply human, the film introduces audiences to one of the most endearingly fractured families in recent cinema history: the Hoovers, whose trip to a pre-pubescent beauty pageant results not only in comic mayhem but in death, transformation and a moving look at the surprising rewards of being losers in a winning-crazed culture.
