Synopsis:
“Sunshine is among the best foreign flicks in the past 12 months.”
Vinayak Chakrovarty – Hindustan Times “Sunshine has been quite a
winner : Best Film nods at the Oscars and the Golden Globes, two Oscar wins,
and nearly $60 million by way of box-office loot.” Vinayak Chakrovarty
– Hindustan Times. Take a hilarious ride with the Hoovers, one of the
most endearingly fractured families in comedy history. Father Richard (Greg
Kinnear) is desperately trying to sell his motivational success program…with
no success. Meanwhile, “pro-honesty” mom Sheryl (Toni Collette)
lends support to her eccentric family, including her depressed brother (Steve
Carell), fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his lover. Then there
are the younger Hoovers-the seven-year-old, would-be beauty queen Olive (Abigail
Breslin) and Dwayne (Paul Dano), a Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a vow
of silence. Topping off the family is the foulmouthed grandfather (Alan Arkin),
whose outrageous behavior recently got him evicted from his retirement home.
When Olive is invited to compete in the “Little Miss Sunshine” pageant
in far-off California, the family piles into their rusted-out VW bus to rally
behind her-with riotously funny results.
