Sheryl is the stressed and tired mum of 2 kids (Dwayne and Olive). Dwayne is the typical, oh-so-moody-I'm-all-troubled-and-really-angry-at-everyone teenager, who has taken a vow of silence until he becomes a pilot (which is his dream). Her daughter, Olive, is obsessed with beauty pageants. She will do anything to win (although she's 7). Then there's Sheryl's brother, Frank, gay and now living with the family after he tried to commit suicide. Richard's (Sheryl's husband and father of Olive) motivational speaking plan never seems to take off. And then, finally, is Edwin-Richard's rude, cocaine-taking dad who got kicked out of his care home.
When Olive finds out that she got entered into the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant in California the whole family have to set off in their rickety old campervan, to get there. In two days.
This is such a great movie. The characters have such great chemistry, and I loved Abigail Breslin as Olive-the cutest little thing! Really sweet, feel good laugh out loud movie. It's so funny and amazing and the characters are so good, i could watch this a thousand times over without getting bored.
