Little Miss Sunshine tells the story of the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families ever. Together, the motley six-member family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. Along the way the family must deal with crushed dreams, heartbreak, and a broken-down VW bus, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine competition itself. On their travels, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the path of life, no matter what the challenge.
This is probably one of the best movies to come out in 2006. It's very quirky, but so beyond funny at times. This family is the poster of dysfunction. Steve Carell (from The Office - if you are not watching this show - you are sooooo missing out) is hilarious as always and the child that plays Olive is the definition of cute. You find yourself laughing throughout the movie and completely beside yourself at the finale.
I very strongly recommend this movie to everyone. This could be considered the must rent of the week.
