Little Miss Sunshine

2007-01-28T16:10:56+01:00

Little Miss Sunshine takes you on a hilarious ride with one of the most endearingly fractured families in comedy history. When seven year old Olive (Abigail Breslin) is invited to compete in the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant, her family (Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Steve Carrell, Alan Arkin and Paul Dano) pile into their rusted out VW van to rally behind her – with riotously funny results. 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.

Producers, The

2006-05-07T11:20:54+02:00

Bringing the Tony Award Winning musical on to the big screen. New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night.

Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct.

Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there's no accounting for taste...

With time running out, Lincoln and Jordan make a daring escape to the outside world they've never known while the forces of the institute relentlessly hunt them down.
