Usually I don't put to many people as main actors with a link and all, but in this case it's needed.
Loved this film. It a big a ensemble cast in a movie that requires them all to tell their story.
Abigail Breslin plays Olive, a little girl who's dream is to be a beauty queen. She gets here chance when the winner(she came 2nd) in a regional pageant has to pull out. This is a story about the family, and the trip to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in California. I'll take this from Rotten Tomatoes, it's the best write-up I've seen. If this doesn't make you want to see this strange, funny, exhilarating film than nothing will.
" No one among the Hoovers quite has it together, but it's not for lack of trying. Father Richard (GREG KINNEAR), a hopelessly optimistic motivational speaker, is desperately attempting to sell his 9-step program for success -- without much success. Meanwhile, the Hoovers' "pro-honesty" mother Sheryl (TONI COLLETTE) is constantly harried by her family's eccentric secrets, especially those of her brother (STEVE CARELL), a suicidal Proust scholar fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his gay lover. Then there are the younger Hoovers with their unlikely dreams -- the four-eyed, slightly plump, seven year-old would-be beauty queen Olive (ABIGAIL BRESLIN) and Dwayne (PAUL DANO), an anger-fueled, Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a staunch vow of silence until he gets into the Air Force Academy. Topping off the family is the grandfather (ALAN ARKIN), a foul-mouthed pleasure-seeker recently kicked out of his retirement home for snorting heroin. "
If I can say 1 bad thing about this flick, it's the pivotal dance scene, it runs too long!
This is a PV buy for me, buy I will buy it!
