The movie revolves around the Hoover family who are a little disfuntional: the grandpa is a rude loud-mouth old man who got kicked out of retirement home, the dad is a struggling motivational speaker who is trying to get his book published, the mom might be the only normal one, the son has taken a vow of silence until he achieves his dream of becoming a jet pilot, the daughter is happy-go-lucky and dreams of winning pageants, and the uncle who had tried to kill himself after a string of misfortunes in life… When the family got news that the little girl was to compete in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in California… the decide to drive there together as no one in the family was to be left alone… and during their journey from Albuquerque… the family comes to face the harsh realities of life but also know that they could always count on eah other for support…

The movie itself was pretty good… it’s one of those indie kind of movies… sometimes it could get a little boring but I enjoyed it nonetheless…
