Little Miss Sunshine Movie Preview
September 29th 2006 06:22
Little Miss Sunshine is a comedy-drama film directed by the husband-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The film has had high praise and acclaim, including winning the Best Feature - World Cinema Audience Award at the 2006 Sydney Film Festival, and even a standing ovation at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. It will be released on the 12th of October in Australia.
The Hoover family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. Along the way the family must deal with crushed dreams, heartbreaks, and a broken-down VW bus, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine competition itself. On their travels through this bizarre landscape, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the path of life, no matter what the challenge.
Below are a couple of trailers for the movie.
All the girls in the beauty pageant, except Abigail Breslin, were veterans of real beauty pageants. They looked the same and performed the same acts as they had in their real-life pageants.
Inside the convenience store, the price of Frank's slurpee and the porno magazines came to a total of $19.79. Directors Jonathon Dayton and Valerie Faris had previously directed the "1979" music video by The Smashing Pumpkins.
Five identical Volkswagen Type 2s were used during filming.
No filming was done in New Mexico; the Albuquerque scenes were actually shot in southern California.
