Wonderful quirky film with superb performances from every member of this small cast. Funny, moving, thought-provoking, lovely!The tale of an ordinary family - an uncle who has just attempted suicide after a failed gay love affair and demotion to be No 2 Proustian Expert. A father who is attempting to launch a nine-step self help programme to success (A very unsuccessful programme). A grandfather who snorts coke and is about as foul-mouthed and as bigotted as you could imagine. He is 'training' his grandaughter to win the Little Miss Sunshine competition in California. There's also a mute son - failing to talk until he gains his ambition to enter flight school. They are all joined by a remarkably normal mother (well normal in comparison to the rest of the family) in a dash across America in an aging VW Dormabile Camper Van with no clutch. There are some trult hilarious moments and the film is quite a satire on American life. Go see it!
