Little Miss Sunshine

A road trip from New Mexico to California in a dilapidated VW van becomes increasingly harried and traumatic for a dysfunctional family in this well-crafted, well-acted, screwball satire when a bankrupt motivational speaker (Greg Kinnear) reluctantly agrees to take his precocious daughter (Abigail Breslin) to a beauty pageant accompanied by his wife (Toni Collette); his suicidal, gay brother in-law (Steve Carell); his Nietzsche-obsessed, taciturn son (Paul Dolan); and his sarcastic, heroin-snorting father (Alan Arkin).
