Refuse to lose ...

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2007)

Olive is a little cutie, who wants to be a beauty queen.
Mr. Hoover is quite a guy, a motivational speaker wannabe, if you know what I mean. A phone call, a contest entered and a small contest contender. An irritated grandfather, with a knack for theatrics, coaching the little beauty princess. A road-trip ensues, a motel stay a dead grandpa his body lays, packed in the Volkswagen, a colorblind kid who can't fly a fighter jet!! Plenty of expletives that start with an 'F'. A freeway turn off, that makes them cut corners to bring Olive to the contest headquarters. Late by four minutes, but a nice data entry and sound man, who is wholly kinder than the so called lady , with no heart for 'them' . A contest of plastic dolls, that for the soul only robs and mauls, but then a discussion between the uncle and the son, that opens new lines of communication. A final contest a personal conquest a family uniting after all the walls with that writing, a small little winner who turns out not to be a 'quitter' and a family who joins her in it all.
Strange and interesting, and heartwarming too, see it for yourself. (***)
