"Sunshine Family" is a Korean-Filipino movie based on the 1992 Japanese film "The Hit-and-Run Family". The comedy follows the calamitous Mapalad clan who have uprooted themselves from the Philippines for a better life in South Korea. After five years of getting by, they are preparing to head home however, things go awry with this bunch when the father, Don, runs over a girl one drunken night. The mother, Sonya, pulls everyone together to pull off an audacious plan of helping the father take the car involved in the accident apart but the kids have their own agendas to attend, daughter Shine is struggling to maintain her romantic relationship with a young cop and the son Max is trying to find his identity. Can this dysfunctional family work together to beat increasingly silly and absurd disasters?
