Take a hilarious ride with the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families in comedy history. Father Richard is desperately trying to sell his motivational success program, with no success. Meanwhile, "pro-honesty" mom Sheryl lends support to her eccentric family, including her depressed brother, fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his lover. Then there are the younger Hoovers--the seven-year-old, would be beauty-queen Olive, and Dwayne, a Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a vow of silence. Topping oof the family is the foul-mouthed grandfather, whose outrageious behavior recently got him evicted from his retirement home. When Olive is invited to compete in the "Little Miss Sunshine" pagenat in far-off California, the family piles into their rusted-out VW but to rally behind her--with riotously funny results.
