Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine was an indie film starring Greg Kinnear and Steve Carell. Despite the huge names who worked on this film, it only had $8 million to make a blockbuster hit. And somehow, through the ingenious directing skills of Jonathon Dayton and Valerie Faris, the film grossed over $100 million in 2006.
The movie is centered around Olive Hoover, who, despite her crumbling family life, qualified for a spot in the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant. Trying to make the best out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Olive and her family have to go through all sorts of struggles before ultimately silencing the crowd in the most shocking way possible.
