Synopsis:

Meet the Hoovers of Albuquerque: OLIVE is a seven year old, slightly
pudgy, aspiring beauty queen. Her father is a struggling motivational
speaker with a not-yet-successful plan for success. Her step-brother has
taken a vow of silence until he's old enough to be a fighter pilot.
UNCLE FRANK the world's leading Marcel Proust scholar, is unemployed,
jilted and suicidal. And GRANDPA sleeps on the couch after having been
kicked out of his nursing home for snorting heroin. Olive's mom, SHERYL is
at the end of her rope, trying to keep the family from imploding.

A typically awkward Hoover family dinner is interrupted by the news
that Olive has the unexpected opportunity to compete in the finals of the
Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Southern California. No one wants to
let her down, and with the family's money tied up in Richard's business
venture, they're left with only one option--a family road trip in their
old VW bus.

What follows is a nine hundred mile trip into the heart of what makes
these atypical people your typical American family. Excitement,
disappointment, friendship, and loss all culminate in the strange, heightened
world of a child beauty pageant, where winning and losing take on an
important new meaning for the Hoovers.
