This is one of my favourite films of all time. I recently went back and watched it after a few months of not watching it, and I still love it. The movie is based around the Hoover family, who take a road trip from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, where they plan on taking their 7 year-old daughter, Olive. During the road trip, the family are met with many obstacles which the family must deal with. The family have to learn how to overcome much heartbreak, a broken-down VW bus, and ultimately death, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine competition itself. On this 2 day road trip, the Hoover family learns how important family is and also how to trust and support each other in any circumstances.
The film uses mainly natural colours to portray a more comfortable feeling to the film. The film is very colourful and the film uses colours to show the personalities of each character. For example yellow for the VW bus, green/blue for the mother, white for the uncle, black/white for the son, pink/red for the daughter, very vibrant colours for the grandpa, but the dad is always in different varieties of business shirts.
Each person has a very different personality. The grandpa, played by Alan Arkin, is very colourful and full of energy while he is the oldest, he acts like an out of control teenager. The father, Richard played by Greg Kinnear, is very stubborn and is a failed businessman and acts upon his winner/loser theory which does not get him anywhere. The son, Dwayne played by Paul Dano, is very determined to become a fighter pilot, to the point that he takes a vow to not speak for 9 months. The daughter, Olive played by Abigail Breslin, is still a very innocent ordinary little girl who is still chasing her dreams. The uncle, Frank played by Steve Carrell, is recovering from a suicide due to heartbreak in a gay relationship. The mother, Sheryl played by Toni Collette, plays a woman with a weak will which we can see from her deciding to quit cigarettes and not being able to. I feel that the actors/actresses all did an amazing job in bringing the characters to life. For example, in one of the scenes that I will always remember is when Dwayne says “Do what you love and fuck the rest”, this not only shows his personality and was also a dramatic point in the movie.
