Little Miss Sunshine/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The climactic scene and ending of Little Miss Sunshine falls between a CMoA and a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. First watching Olive bust the moves her unconventional grandpa taught her at the pageant (to the song Superfreak), followed by her entire crazy family joining her on stage despite the disapproval of the crowd. For this troper, it brought a whole new meaning to "family bonding."

Pageant official: What is your daughter doing?
Richard: She's kickin' ass... that's what she's doing!

    • In one of the alternative endings they stole the winning trophy whilst fleeing the hotel (the rest being the same as the finished result).
