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.
Grandpa: A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning he doesn't even try.
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".
