Factual error: The family passes an exit for Carefree Highway. This is an exit off I-17 a few miles North of Phoenix. At that point they would be about 10 miles from Scottsdale. Yet they drive all day and that night they are still within scooter range from Scottsdale.

Little Miss Sunshine is about a family that's coming apart at the seams for various reasons but all manage to try to pull together when their youngest member has a shot at a beauty pageant. Plucky Abigail Breslin's Olive wants to win and make her family proud, and the rest of her dysfunctional clan has to overcome their differences and their personal issues to help make her dream come true. It's sometimes funny, sometimes a bit sad, weird and silly, but at it's heart it's about overcoming obstacles and managing to love one another as well as acceptance. Not a perfect film but one with some heart.
Olive: Do you think there's a Heaven?
Frank: Well, it's hard to say, Olive. I don't think anyone knows for sure.
Olive: I know, but what do you think?
Frank: Well... um... uh.
Olive: I think there is.
Frank: Think I'll get in?
Olive: Yeah.
Frank: Promise?
Olive: Yeah.
Trivia: Before he was cast as Frank, Steve Carell was relatively unknown in Hollywood. But by the time the film was released, he had shot to stardom in both The 40 Year Old Virgin and "The Office".
