A wacky comedy about a dysfunctional family's eventful journey to the Little Miss Sunshine Beauty Pageant in California in which the seven-year-old daughter is to take part. Each of them has to deal with his own personal obsession, while the film also exposes society's attitude to sexuality in a glorious ending.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: My wife has never laughed so much. Excellent understated comedy with a powerful message; I would have voted A if there had been less swearing. Wonderful story and superb acting; Lovely humour. Realistic and quite subtle for an American film; Life-affirming and close to the bone at the same time. Beautifully acted and directed; The final scene of the pageant almost compensated for the rest of the film which was unremittingly dire.
