Little Miss Sunshine Movie Synopsis

The motley six-member Hoover 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, heartbreaks, and a broken-down VW bus, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine competition itself. On their travels through this bizarrely funny landscape, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the path of life, no matter what the challenge.

Really good movie

perfect just perfect, finaly the little film maker gets a break.one of the best movies of the last few decades!!!

For an oscar nominated movie it was very good.What i loved about it was that the characters were so different and the story was different.Olive was so cute and it showed that she was very special even though she didn`t look the other girls.Great movie.
