Résumés(1)
L'histoire des Hoover. Le père, Richard, tente désespérément de vendre son "Parcours vers le succès en 9 étapes". La mère, Sheryl, tente de dissimuler les travers de son frère, spécialiste suicidaire de Proust fraîchement sorti de l'hôpital après avoir été congédié par son amant.
Les enfants Hoover ne sont pas non plus dépourvus de rêves improbables: la fille de 7 ans, Olive, se rêve en reine de beauté, tandis que son frère Dwayne a fait voeu de silence jusqu'à son entrée à l'Air Force Academy. Quand Olive décroche une invitation à concourir pour le titre très sélectif de Little Miss Sunshine en Californie, toute la famille décide de faire corps derrière elle. Les voilà donc entassés dans leur break Volkswagen rouillé: ils mettent le cap vers l'Ouest et entament un voyage tragi-comique de trois jours qui les mettra aux prises avec des événements inattendus..

A similar "sensation" as, for example, Sideways. Meaning a slightly bitter in places, but mostly reliable comedy, where either love adventures or family troubles are dealt with. The filmmakers cannot be denied a flair for situational humour and solid dialogue, as well as well-drawn characters, mostly well acted. It’s nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary for the genre, but it delivers solid entertainment with one American redneck family.

Once every few years it happens that an inconspicuous film unexpectedly hits a golden vein in the form of great audience interest and favourable critical response, but at the same time the buzz and the aura of "wonderful comedy" created around it far outweighs its real value. Recent examples include My Big Fat Greek Wedding and now Little Miss Sunshine, the most overrated comedy of recent years. A pleasantly tedious 97 minutes, with completely banal humour, a few blatant constructs (the somewhat belated discovery of colour blindness) and one of the most incomprehensible Oscar nominations for Alan Arkin as a cackling grandfather. An over-hyped affair that will certainly not become a classic in the future. The dance of the cute Abigail Breslin won’t save it.

Funny, intelligent, pleasantly paced, well acted, and scored with a magnificent soundtrack. While being an indie, it is accessible to everyone. In addition, it has a large dose of gradually built up sympathy for the individual characters, so in the end you care about them and have a hard time saying goodbye to them... Everything is as it should be and, moreover, in above-standard quality. UPDATE: After Little Miss Sunshine, you will be left with such a great feeling of well-being for much longer than after seeing any other picture recently, and the second viewing has the same effect. That's why I'm adding another *.

Definitely one of the most successful road movies of all time. There are few movie scenes that I can't and won't stop laughing at. One of them is the "stage one" from Little Miss Sunshine. Abigail Breslin is incredible! But other than that scene, there are unfortunately too many dry spots for the movie to make 100%.

A hilariously bitter film with lots of funny moments and neatly intertwined fates of all kinds. Perhaps only the color blindness seemed to me too grafted on and as if unnaturally sticking out of the otherwise beautifully flowing story of one "normally strange" family. Of the cast, I want to praise the amazing Steve Carell and the diminutive Abigail Breslin the most, but the truth is that none of them were bad.
