Product Description:
Take a hilarious ride with the Hoovers one of the most endearingly fractured families in comedy history.Father Richard (Greg Kinnear) is desperately trying to sell his motivational success program...with no success. Meanwhile "pro-honesty" mom Sheryl (Toni Collette) lends support to her eccentric family including her depressed brother (Steve Carell) fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his lover. Then there are the younger Hoovers the seven-year-old would-be beauty queen Olive (Abigail Breslin) and Dwayne (Paul Dano) a Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a vow of silence. Topping off the family is the foul-mouthed grandfather (Alan Arkin) whose outrageous behavior recently got him evicted from his retirement home.When Olive is invited to compete in the "Little Miss Sunshine" pageant in far-off California the family piles into their rusted-out VW bus to rally behind her with riotously funny results.Episodes-Bonus Features:Disc 1 Side A:**Full Screen Feature**Audio Commentary with directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and writer Michael Arndt**4 Alternate Endings with optional commentary by directors Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris**"Till the End of Time" performed by DeVotchka from the soundtrack**TrailersDisc 1 Side B:**Widescreen Feature**Audio Commentary with Directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and Writer Michael Arndt**4 Alternate Endings with optional commentary by directors Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris**"Till the End of Time" performed by DeVotchka from the soundtrack**Forced Trailer Combo: Thank You For Smoking Confetti Trust the ManSystem Requirements:Running Time: 101 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 024543403319 Manufacturer No: 2240331

Pile together a blue-ribbon cast, a screenplay high in quirkiness, and the Sundance stamp of approval, and you've got yourself a crossover indie hit. That formula worked for Little Miss Sunshine, a frequently hilarious study of family dysfunction. Meet the Hoovers, an Albuquerque clan riddled with depression, hostility, and the tattered remnants of the American Dream; despite their flakiness, they manage to pile into a VW van for a weekend trek to L.A. in order to get moppet daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) into the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant. Much of the pleasure of this journey comes from watching some skillful comic actors doing their thing: Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette as the parents (he's hoping to become a self-help authority), Alan Arkin as a grandfather all too willing to give uproariously inappropriate advice to a sullen teenage grandson (Paul Dano), and a subdued Steve Carell as a jilted gay professor on the verge of suicide. The film is a crowd-pleaser, and if anything is a little too eager to bend itself in the direction of quirk-loving Sundance audiences; it can feel forced. But the breezy momentum and the ingenious actors help push the material over any bumps in the road.-- Robert Horton

- Little Miss Overrated
Having finally rented this DVD after all the praise and an Oscar, I was expected a good dose of hilarity. What I got was a dark rewrite of National Lampoon's Vacation brought up to these Napoleon Dynamite times. It's dark, cynical and relentlessly bleak, even if moments of really funny stuff bounce off the bleakness.

The actors are all well suited for their roles, with Abigail Breslen perfect as Olive and Alan Arkin getting the snarkiest lines as the heroin snorting granddad. Steve Carell ... Read More

- Brilliant and just about flawless
This movie is absolute perfection. There is nothing I don't like about it. I laughed, I cried. This is one of those movies that everyone needs to see. It is filled with characters that are brilliantly acted and quickly become people we know. It moves swiftly and powerfully from comedy to drama and back again.

If this film doesn't touch your heart, you need to check to be sure you're still breathing.

- quirky
Little Miss Sunshine is about a family trying to get the youngest daughter across country to compete in the "Little Miss Sunshine" pageant. There's the dad (Greg Kinnear), who's a motivational speaker and author of a self-help book he's trying to sell; there's the gay uncle (Steve Carell), just out of the hospital after trying to kill himself; there's the teenage son (Paul Dano) who's taken a vow of silence; there's the grandfather (Alan Arkin) who's been kicked out of the retirement community; there's ...

- Sunny Olive.
Little Miss Sunshine starring Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette is the cutest and zaniest film of 2006. This film was nominated for best picture and Alan Arkin won best supporting actor, I was worried this film would be a disappointment but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this quirky flick from beginning to end. Abigail Breslin (also nominated) is ray of sunshine as a beauty pageant hopeful Olive Hoover, she is plain, chubby, and less than graceful but she has tremendous heart. Breslin's performance ...

- Portrait of a quirky, loyal American family.
Here they come now. One is wearing a 'Jesus was wrong' t-shirt while his eyes burn with hatred for everything around him, another is a suicidal scholar who is still getting over a failed relationship, and their leader: a self-help guru who just can't seem to help himself. These are some of the faces that make up the Hoover clan as they attempt to get their yellow van moving back down the highway by first pushing it. Their destination is the Little Miss Sunshine competition in Redondo Beach, California. ... Read More
