Do what you love and fuck the restA dysfunctional family... A father who is trying to sell his "9 steps" self help plan, a heroin snorting granddad, a uncle who is suicidal and a Proust scholar, a son who has taken a vow of silence, a daughter who hopes to be crowned in a beauty pageant and an overworked mother who is trying to string this family together. They decide to take a road trip in a beat-up VW mini-bus to the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty contest. A quirky family drama that leaves in you splits at various moment.

Fascinating movie, that rates rather highly in my scale. Great performances from the ensemble cast. To me, it was easily the best of the 5 nominees for the best picture award. Probably, if it had remained an independent flick, it would have been better appreciated.
