Meet God at the Movies

Meet God at the Movies will meet via Zoom at 6:30pm on Monday, November 27.

November’s movie is Little Miss Sunshine.

As per Metacritic.com: 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.

The 2006 movie was nominated for and won multiple awards from numerous film organizations and festivals. It was nominated for four Academy Awards and was awarded two.

Saint Philip’s movie discussion group gathers every month via Zoom to explore a film and plumb it for theological content in the areas of creation (what is the world of the story like); what is broken/where is sin; is there a moment of turnaround, repentance; and where is redemption or the reign of God visible.

All are welcome to join the discussions—only once, sporadically, or on a regular basis—but registration is required. You can register by emailing Mtr Mary at mary.trainor@stphilipstucson.org.

Little Miss Sunshine can be watched on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Google Play, YouTube, and Vudu.
