Twelve year old Abigail Breslin is Little Miss Sunshine herself and one of the best child actresses currently working in the industry.
Her breakthrough role came in 2006's Little Miss Sunshine as the youngest member of a dysfunctional family and starring alongside Toni Collette and Greg Kinnear.
Father Richard (Greg Kinnear), a hopelessly optimistic motivational speaker, is desperately attempting to sell his 9-step program for success -- without much success.
Meanwhile, the Hoovers' "pro-honesty" mother Sheryl (Toni COllette) is constantly harried by her family's eccentric secrets, especially those of her brother (Steve Carell), a suicidal Proust scholar fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his gay lover.
Then there are the younger Hoovers with their unlikely dreams -- the four-eyed, slightly plump, seven year-old would-be beauty queen Olive (Abigail Breslin) and Dwayne (Paul Dano), an anger-fueled, Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a staunch vow of silence until he gets into the Air Force Academy.
Topping off the family is the grandfather (Alan Arkin), a foul-mouthed pleasure-seeker recently kicked out of his retirement home for snorting heroin.
They might not be the picture of perfect mental health, but when a fluke gets Olive invited to compete in the fiercely competitive "Little Miss Sunshine" competition in California, the whole Hoover family rallies behind her.
