Heartwarming comedy follows a dysfunctional family on a frantic road trip across the US in a decrepit Volkswagen van to deliver their youngest to a chld beauty pageant on time. Olive Hoover (Abigail Breslin) is an ordinary little girl, perhaps even on the plain side as far as looks go but she has a dream cast in stone - to win the Little Miss Sunshine child beauty pageant. Her heroin-snorting grandfather (Alan Arkin) coaches her in some rather unorthodox and grown-up techniques - when he's not on the nod. Her mum (Toni Collette) and dad (Greg Kinnear) are at each other's throat because dad has sunk their entire worth into a self-help business that's a total non-starter. Her philosophically-constipated older brother (Paul Dano) has taken a vow of nihilistic silence and her suicidal gay uncle (Steve Carell) has come to stay for a while after yet another failed attempt to cash out early. Has Olive got a chance? No, she hasn't, but it's the journey that matters, not the destination - ultimately the message of this touching comedy.

"Ganzheit" ist zum heimlichen Leitbegriff des 21. Jahrhunderts avanciert. Auch vor der Schule hat diese Entwicklung nicht Halt gemacht. Lehr- und Lernprozesse sollen sich an ganzheitlichen Inhalten orientieren, methodisch ganzheitlich organisiert und auf ganzheitliche Zielsetzungen hin ausgerichtet sein. Im sogenannten facherverbindenden Unterricht kulminiert heute der Gedanke der Ganzheit in der Schule. Jedoch besteht weitgehend Unklarheit daruber, was die eigentliche Sinngebung "ganzheitlicher Bildungsprozesse" ist. Durch eine kritische Analyse und systematische Klarung des Zusammenhangs von Unterricht und Erziehung wird in dieser Arbeit eine begrundete Neuorientierung und Organisation von Fachunterricht vorgelegt, die den in der padagogischen Praxis Handelnden Orientierung ermoeglichen soll.
