Deliberate mistake: At the very end when they are all running to get the car started, the boy is the last to hop in. In the first scene, he is well along side the car, but in the very next shot he is farther again. In the last shot, he is closer to the door and finally gets in.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris
Starring: Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, Greg Kinnear, Abigail Breslin, Paul Dano
Continuity mistake: In the Little Miss Sunshine pageant there is a girl who, in the talent competition, does a dance in a cyan-colored uniform-type costume. Her act is before Olive's, which is the very last act, however after the girl's act, she can be seen in one shot being led towards the stage and in another having makeup put on, both times in the same costume. Neither of these should be happening if she has already done her act.
Grandpa: A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning he doesn't even try.
Trivia: The four customers who are seated behind Sheryl and Richard during the diner scene are the parents of the movie's directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.
