Join us for the second film in our comedy double bill **Little Miss Sunshine** (**2006)** is a dark comedy-drama directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

The film follows the dysfunctional yet lovable Hoover family as they embark on a chaotic road trip from Albuquerque to California in their aging Volkswagen bus. The goal? To support young Olive Hoover (Abigail Breslin), a quirky, optimistic seven-year-old, in her dream of competing in the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty pageant.

Along the journey, the family confronts personal struggles, from father Richard's (Greg Kinnear) faltering self-help business to uncle Frank's (Steve Carell) recovery from a suicide attempt. With a mix of humor and pathos, the film explores themes of resilience, failure, and the bonds that hold a family together.

"Little Miss Sunshine" received widespread acclaim for its sharp writing, ensemble cast, and emotional depth. It won **two Academy Awards**: **Best Original Screenplay** for Michael Arndt and **Best Supporting Actor** for Alan Arkin's portrayal of Olive's foul-mouthed but loving grandfather. The film was also nominated for **Best Picture** and **Best Supporting Actress** (Abigail Breslin).

As usual we will socialise enjoy snacks and beverages before settling down to watch the movie.
