Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What kind of car does Sheryl drive?

Answer: Mazda Miata

Her little red Miata isn't big enough to take the family to the Little Miss Sunshine competition. Richard agrees to go on the trip and drive them all in his Volkswagen Bus, because Sheryl doesn't know how to drive a stick shift.
2. Who does Frank's student fall in love with?

Answer: Prof. Sugarman

Prof. Larry Sugarman also wins the genius award which Frank (Steve Carell) so desperately wants. Frank's run of bad luck - losing the award, unrequited love, and getting fired from his teaching position - prompts him to attempt suicide, unsuccessfully. He goes to live with his sister Sheryl (Toni Collette), and her family of oddballs.
3. Does Richard support Dwayne's silence?

Answer: Yes

During dinner, Richard tells the family that they should all support Dwayne's difficult choice to not speak until he reaches his goal of acceptance in the the Air Force Academy. It is obvious that Sheryl doesn't agree with Richard, but according to him, only losers don't try, winners never give up.

Dwayne communicates mostly with written words on a pad he carries with him. My favorite is when the family drives away from the gas station and leaves Olive behind. He simply writes "Where's Olive?", which Frank reads out loud. It is laughable because even in crisis, Dwayne won't utter a word.
4. When Grandpa and Olive are in the hotel room, what are they practicing?

Answer: roaring and growling

In the hotel, the two hone her skills so that she'll be ready for the Little Miss Sunshine talent competition. We find out later that part of Olive's routine consists of crawling on the floor and roaring like a cat at the audience.
5. What does Sheryl order to drink at the diner?

Answer: grapefruit juice

When Olive asks what she can order to eat, Sheryl tells her anything under $4.00. Olive goes for the waffles with ice cream, which prompts a diatribe from Richard (Greg Kinnear) about how ice cream can make her fat.

Frank orders the chamomile tea, and Dwayne orders a garden salad.
6. Besides the clutch failing on the Hoover's bus, what else breaks?

Answer: horn

The horn starts beeping incessantly and a traffic cop eventually pulls them over. The Hoovers are afraid the cop will find Grandpa's body in the back, but the officer's attention is drawn to the pornography magazines that fall out of the trunk. The cop lets the family go on their way without issuing a ticket, and the horn continues to annoyingly beep for the rest of the journey.
7. Does Frank try to convince Sheryl to pull Olive from the Little Miss Sunshine competition?

Answer: No

Richard and Dwayne rush backstage and beg Sheryl to pull Olive out, saying that she'll be embarrassed and that she doesn't fit in with the rest of the contestants. Frank stays out in the hallway during this exchange. Sheryl believes that Olive deserves the chance to compete if she wants to. Sheryl does tell Olive just before she goes on that she doesn't have to compete, she is a winner no matter what, but Olive wants to go onstage. Remember, the family has never seen her routine before so they have no idea what is in store for them.
8. What is the last piece of clothing Olive puts on before taking the stage for her talent?

Answer: top hat

Olive wears an unflattering outfit consisting of a top hat, hot pants, a tie, vest and knee pads. All of the other contestants are in flashy outfits and have wonderful talents that include gymnastics, singing and dancing. Olive shocks the audience during her strip tease, which she performs to the tune of "Super Freak".

Although Miss California seems to be enjoying the routine, the other judges and audience members are horrified. Many leave the audience and the judge tries unsuccessfully to have Olive removed from the stage.
9. When Dwayne has his breakdown, he screams at his family that he hates them and gives them three reasons why. What is NOT one of the reasons?

Answer: drugs

He refers to Sheryl for divorce, Frank for suicide and Richard for bankruptcy. Dwayne's hopes for getting away from his family and being a pilot are dashed when he discovers that he is colorblind. But shortly after his explosion, he apologizes to his family for the mean things he said and they continue on to the competition.

He also mentions that if he wants to be a pilot, he'll find a way.
10. What does Frank sleep on in Dwayne's room?

Answer: cot

Sheryl takes Frank in and agrees to watch over him to be sure he doesn't harm himself. He is forced to bunk with Dwayne in his room so that Dwayne can keep an eye on him. Before they go to sleep, Dwayne writes Frank a note that asks him not to kill himself that night. Frank promises he won't do it on Dwayne's watch.
