Rating: R Genre: Comedy Directed By: Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris Written By: Michael Arndt In Theatres: Sept 8th, 2006 Runtime: 110 minutes Studio: Fox Searchlight Summary: The Hoover family -- a man (Greg Kinnear), his wife (Toni Collette), an uncle (Steve Carell), a brother (Paul Dano) and a grandfather (Alan Arkin) -- puts the fun back in dysfunctional by piling into a VW bus and heading to California to support a daughter (Abigail Breslin) in her bid to win the Little Miss Sunshine Contest. The sanity of everyone involved is stretched to the limit as the group's quirks cause epic problems as they travel along their interstate route. Review: This film is a ray of sunshine. The plot is simple, carried through by a wonderful array of lovable characters. It has a positive and light-hearted feel throughout, despite dealing with some tougher topics. A feel-good watch for sure, with quite an unforgettable twist! Olive is a wonderful character. She’s still at an innocent age throughout most of the film. She embraces life and doesn’t see the bad in the world yet. This makes her a wonderful lead. Her brother Paul on the other hand is another matter. He has opted for a vow of silence, deciding he’s had his fair share of despair from the world. I think of all the characters these two were my favourite. I like the contrast between them. They are both in company of two unhappy and dissatisfied parents and grandfather. Steve Carroll’s character Paul, seems to possess a mixture of down-beat/up-beat presence. He’s sad all the time but he deals with it using a dry humour. I would say the same for Alan Arkin’s character. He’s hilarious though. The film won an Acedemy Award for Best Original Screenplay, as well as Best Actor In A Supporting Role for Alan Arkin. Both were well deserved. The script is certainly a unique one!! It’s very funny and so heart-warming. For sure this film is a joy to watch. I recommend it highly. TRAILER:

Sažetak Nikoga među Hooverima ne možemo nazvati sasvim uspješnim, ali to ne znači da to ne pokušavaju biti. Otac Richard (Greg Kinnear), beznadno optimističan motivacijski govornik, očajnički pokušava prodati svoj program za postizanje uspjeha u 9 koraka – bez pretjeranog uspjeha. Istodobno majku Hooverovih, Sheryl (Toni Collette), koja se 'zauzima za iskrenost', neprestano muče ekscentrične tajne njezine obitelji, osobito njezina brata (Steve Carell), suicidalna znanstvenika koji se bavi Proustom, nedavno otpuštena iz bolnice nakon što ga je ostavio njegov ljubavnik. Zatim su tu mlađi Hooveri i njihovi nevjerojatni snovi – 'četverooka', pomalo bucmasta sedmogodišnja potencijalna kraljica ljepote Olive (Abigail Breslin) i Dwayne (Paul Dano), bijesni tinejdžer koji čita Nietzschea i koji se zakleo na grobnu šutnju (koju je prekinuo tek kada je stigao u zrakoplovnu akademiju). Kao šlag na torti obitelji stoji djed (Alan Arkin), vulgarni hedonist koji je izbačen iz umirovljeničkog doma jer je šmrkao heroin. Možda nisu slika savršena mentalnog zdravlja, ali kad Olive dobije poziv da sudjeluje u žestokoj konkurenciji na izboru za 'Malu Miss Sunshine' u Kaliforniji, pridružit će joj se cijela obitelj Hoover. Svi se naguraju u zahrđali VW kombi i krenu na zapad, na trodnevno tragikomično putovanje prepuno vratolomnih iznenađenja, koje će dovesti do Oliveinog velikog debija – koje će disfunkcionalnu obitelj promijeniti tako kako to nisu mogli ni zamisliti... Drsko satiričan, a ipak duboko ljudski, ovaj film publici predstavlja jednu od najljupkijih disfunkcionalnih obitelji u novijoj kinematografskoj povijesti – Hoovere, čije putovanje na predpubertetski izbor ljepote rezultira ne samo teškim ozljedama, nego i smrću, transformacijom i iznenađenjem zbog nagrade i činjenice da su gubitnici u kulturi opsjednutoj pobjedom. Veliki hit na Sundanceovom filmskom festivalu, gdje je doživio ovacije, ovaj će film dotaknuti dušu svakoga tko se bar jedanput u životu divio kako zbrkane obitelji na kraju ipak uspiju.
