There is mostly the f word and sometimes the s word. Over all this is a good movie but not for kids. Great and funny movie! I watched this a few weeks ago and it is amazing. If your kid is less than 12 years old, it would be better to have parents in the room to watch with them as it does have drugs, language, and sexual content. The uncle buys porn magazines and the grandpa has a cocaine problem. But other than that, it is a sweet and funny film that teens will LOVE!
This title contains: Positive Messages. Teen, 13 years old Written by whatthemshadowc November 8, Great movie This movie is really good. It can be a little sad at times, but for the most part it's a typical comedy. The rating throws me off, I think it should be PG not R.
Teen, 14 years old Written by jk August 30, Amazing Film for Teens I watched this last night and I adore this film! It is hilarious but also deals with very serious topics along the way. Perfect for mature 12 year olds and absolutely acceptable for 13 and up!! Positive role models. Teen, 14 years old Written by useruser June 26, Good movie Some of the jokes in the movie are not funny. Maybe its because I don't understand it.
The movie talks a little about suicide, bankruptcy and divorce. There are scenes where a porn magazines is shown and heroin. Also, a lot of profanities. Some parts can be weird like the dancing part at the end.
I think this movie is more to a drama movie than a comedy movie. Overall, I enjoy the movie. It has morals about being confident and struggle in life. Amazing Movie! I watched this movie at 9. I understood the stuff but I already watched TV movies. Teen, 13 years old Written by someonewholikes April 26, Great film! This is a really good movie!

Watch options. Storyline Edit. In Albuquerque, Sheryl Hoover brings her suicidal brother Frank to the breast of her dysfunctional and emotionally bankrupted family.
Frank is homosexual, an expert in Proust. He tried to commit suicide when he was rejected by his boyfriend and his great competitor became renowned and recognized as number one in the field of Proust.
Sheryl's husband Richard is unsuccessfully trying to sell his self-help and self-improvement technique using nine steps to reach success, but he is actually a complete loser. Her son Dwayne has taken a vow of silence as a follower of Nietzsche and aims to be a jet pilot. Dwayne's grandfather Edwin was sent away from the institution for elders Sunset Manor and is addicted in heroin.
When her seven-year-old daughter Olive has a chance to dispute the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, the whole family travels together in their old Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi in a funny journey of hope of winning the talent contest and to make a dream come true.
Where's Olive? Rated R for language, some sex and drug content. Did you know Edit. Trivia The production crew made sure Abigail Breslin really was listening to music in her headphones to keep her from hearing Alan Arkin 's profanity-laced scenes.
Goofs When at the motel, Sheryl reads off the three room numbers they are staying in as 11, 12, and When Grandpa and Olive go into their room and shut the door, though, the number reads Quotes Dwayne : You know what? Alternate versions The DVD contains four alternate endings: Alternate Ending 1 had the family stop at a rest stop the next day as they're driving back home.
Richard talks fondly about Grandpa, and then the family toasts to his memory. You actually can't hear the dialogue, since the only audio option is for the director's commentary on this ending. Basically, the filmmakers thought that it was too sappy since it was too sunny during the scene and so they stopped filming. Alternate Ending 2 had the family handcuffed at the security office at the hotel.
The security guard tells them that Olive is disqualified from the competition and that they are released, under the condition that they are banned from entering beauty pageants in California again.
He releases the family members, and they start to walk out of the lobby. Sheryl places a crown on Richard's head, who in turn places it on Olive's head. As they exit the hotel, Richard asks "who wants ice cream? She signals that the coast is clear, and so the others run out of the hotel carrying the trophy while Frank wears the crown. Alternate Ending 4 is the same as 3, but it's extended. Sheryl smokes cigarettes; Grandpa refers to cocaine and heroin use and is shown snorting drugs once.
Parents need to know that Little Miss Sunshine is a hilarious but mature family road trip movie. It includes sexual slang and references to drugs, mostly by the grandfather.
Gay and straight pornographic magazines only the covers are shown and a comedic striptease figure into the plot. Characters discuss depression and suicide Uncle Frank has cut his wrists before the movie starts; his bandages are visible. There are conversations about "winning" and "losing," as measured by financial success.
A character dies about halfway through the film; the family wraps up his body and carries it in their van to their destination. Characters curse several "f--k"s , and the mother smokes a couple of cigarettes. Add your rating See all 37 parent reviews. Add your rating See all 93 kid reviews. The Hoover family decides to make the trip from Albuquerque to Southern California after starry-eyed daughter Olive Abigail Breslin unexpectedly scores a spot in the regional Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant.
The whole clan -- sunny Olive; anxious mom Sheryl Toni Collette ; aspiring motivational speaker dad Richard Greg Kinnear ; feisty, drug-using Grandpa Alan Arkin ; cynical teen Dwyane Paul Dano ; and gay, suicidal Proust scholar Uncle Frank Steve Carell -- piles into their old yellow Volkswagen bus which has become the movie's signature image and hits the road.
Naturally, that road is full of all kinds of obstacles -- including car trouble, lots of bickering, and even an unexpected death.
But in the process of working together to help Olive make it to the pageant, the Hoovers come to understand each other anew This is a delightful film with a funny, tight script. It's true that the family road trip comedy isn't exactly a new genre; nor are quirky indie movies about dysfunctional families all that hard to come by. There's nothing radically new in terms of storytelling or character development, but the film nonetheless succeeds, thanks in part to its excellent cast husband-and-wife directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris lucked out, casting Carell just before he hit it really big with The Year-Old Virgin.
There aren't any wasted moments in this movie; even the smallest action -- Frank buying the dirty magazines, for example -- turns out to matter down the line.
And then there's the finale. Families can talk about the way the Hoovers come to respect one another's differences. How does young Olive remind the adults of their lack of faith, innocence, and commitment? How does the beauty pageant serve as a metaphor for other competitions in the film -- say, between family members? How might Richard be more open to his family's needs, rather than trying to make them conform to his? Why do you think this movie -- a little indie discovered at the Sundance Film Festival -- did so well with audiences?
