Loaded with extras, the official screenplay book tie-in to the
uproarious American hit comedy from Fox Searchlight--a family on
the verge of a breakdown.
In 2000, screenwriter Michael Arndt had no credits, no agents, no
publishing history when he took a year off to write "a salable
script" that got him an agent and a deal fourteen months later,
and, five years after that, one of the big hits of 2006. Exclusive
to this book are the complete shooting script, Arndt's introduction
and scene notes about his filmmaking experience, and a humorous
essay "How to Write a Sundance Hit in Nine Easy Steps." Also
included are the full credits and a 12-page color photo section.
Brazenly satirical yet deeply human, "Little Miss Sunshine"
introduces the Hoovers, whose trip from Albuquerque to Redondo
Beach, California, to a pre-pubescent beauty pageant results not
only in comic mayhem but in death, transformation, and a moving
look at the surprising rewards of being losers in a winning-crazed
culture. A runaway hit at the Sundance Film Festival, where it
played to standing ovations, the film strikes a nerve with everyone
who's ever been awestruck by how their muddled families seem to
make it after all.
The Hoover family members are played by Greg Kinnear, Toni
Collette, Steve Carell, Abigail Breslin, Paul Dano, and Alan Arkin.
When they pile into their rusted-out VW bus and head west on a
three-day tragicomic journey to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty
pageant, the entire misfit family will change in ways they could
never imagine. 12-page color photo insert.
