...believes she can win the Little Miss Sunshine beauty contest, 800 miles across the country. The film shows how even the most dysfunctional families can pull together when they need to. Steve Carell heightens the humour as a suicidal brother in law, living with the dysfunctional Hoover family. Foul Mouthed grandpa (Alan Kirkin) is a sex-obsessed drug addict, with a son – Richard (Greg Kinnear), who’s speeches to his children about winning are as interesting ...
...shown in the film) Also little girls reaching perfection, overshadowed by their parents own eagerness to succeed, is not the best way to start a young girls life; the early years of life is when our personalities develop. If young children are lead to believe their worth and value as human beings depend on their physical appearance, then this is likely to become their belief throughout their life. As much as the end is funny, it does seem to end ...

At first glance, writer-director ...
