A family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus.

Excellent little quirky comedy with a lot of drama elements, a good coming of age movie with a great cast and good writing. The ending is a bit unexpected, but it somehow tries to make a point and succeeds. Four popcorns.

PS: As a minor spoiler, at the end, Olive jumps by herself in the van, without any help. That’s such a great and subtle detail of how she took one step further in life.
