LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE tells the story of the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families ever seen on motion picture screens. The film stars Steve Carell (of SNL, The 40 Year Old VIrgin, and The Office fame) as Frank, a gay Proustian scholar who is depressed because his hunky young student lover has left him for another male professor in his own department. He lives with his crumudgeon father (Alan Arkin) his brother Richard (Greg Kinnear) and sister-in-law Sheryl (Toni Collette) and their two children, Dwayne and Olive. 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 through this bizarrely funny landscape, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the path of life, no matter what the challenge.
