Little Miss Sunshine

Over deze film

Father Richard (Greg Kinnear) is desperately trying to sell his motivational success program... with no success. Meanwhile, "pro-honesty" mom Sheryl (Toni Collette) lends support to her eccentric family, including her depressed brother (Steve Carell), fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his lover. Then there are the younger Hoovers - the seven-year-old, would-be beauty queen Olive (Abigail Breslin) and Dwayne (Paul Dano), a Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a vow of silence. Topping off the family is the foul-mouthed grandfather (Alan Arkin), whose outrageous behavior recently got him evicted from his retirement home. When Olive is invited to compete in the "Little Miss Sunshine" pageant in far-off California, the family piles into their rusted-out VW bus to rally behind her - with riotously funny results.

Very inspirational (towards being optimistic with your life), a tearjerker, and puts far more big smiles on your face than tears in your eyes. Totally recommend. Even dabbles in philosophy a bit of which is a bonus for me.

I got a copy of this film for voting purposes and couldn't seem to get through the beginning numerous times. A few years later I was sad it was over when watching straight through. Go figure.

CAN'T WATCH IT! I paid $4.99 for a 48 hr rental. Every time I try to play this movie it restarts my phone! I WANT MY MONEY BACK! 0 STARS
