That Volkswagen Van! I never thought that my dream car would cause a lot of trouble for the Hoover family.
It all started when a family of six went to California, after Olive, the little girl of the family, knew that she had a place in a beauty pageant. Together with them is her mom, her outspoken dad, noisy grandfather, a brother who does not talk, and her mother's gay brother who attempted a suicide after being left out by his ex-boyfriend.
Due to financial difficulties, they used the Volkswagen to get into California with the whole family, but things have turned against them, started with the mechanical problem of the car, the apparent death of Olive's grandfather due to some drug overdose, and this one made me laugh, when her uncle met his ex-boyfriend. What a series of events.
Then they reached California, however, they arrived late to the pageant, but Olive just made it to the contest through some pity moments from one of the in-charge in registration, when Olive made her performance, it was a disaster.
But what hit me most is that when her whole family danced with her in the stage, they never left her.
It is truly the essence of having a family, though at first, they all have differences, well actually most of us in our own families, we do have our differences, but the message of this movie is to never abandon your family, no matter in what situation you may be, your family will always be there for you.
That's quite a trip, i admit. The movie was really amazing, it mirrored the reality of having a real family, it touched the hearts of every person who watched the movie, and I am one of those who were moved by this movie.
The screenplay was superb, the lines were bold, the words that they use is probably too much for an ideal family, but it is the reality, we often speak like them within our families.
In totality the message was very clear, the story was very touching, indeed there is no greater thing than having a family. This movie made me think more about my family, on how should i support them on what they do, and on not leaving them when they needed me the most.
