This question does not answer the directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris in her fantasy romance, Ruby Sparks', but with some finesse and wisdom they irritate the premise of entertaining -. , Only the last spark missing magic "

" Tragicomic version of the Pygmalion myth, the auftrumpft with good actors and entertaining situation comedy, but fails to implement the development process of the male protagonist particularly subtle. "

Little Miss Sunshine " " After six years hiatus, the directing duo of sets " again before a cinematic gem. Based on a screenplay by actress Kazan interpersonal lessons about respect for the idiosyncrasies of the partner or alienation are wrapped in an enchanting fantasy garb. Sensitive ode to the magic of writing and the power (lessness ) power of love "
