A single mom and her slacker sister find an unexpected way to turn their lives around in the off-beat dramatic comedy Sunshine Cleaning. Once the high school cheerleading captain who dated the quarterback, Rose Lorkowski (Amy Adams) now finds herself a thirty something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah, (Emily Blunt), is still living at home with their dad Joe (Alan Arkin), a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get rich quick schemes. Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides and other... specialized situations. As they climb the ranks in a very dirty job, the sisters find a true respect for one another and the closeness they have always craved finally blossoms. By building their own improbable business, Rose and Norah open the door to the joys and challenges of being there for one another—no matter what—while creating a brighter future for the entire Lorkowski family.This was a great character drama. Its one of those artsy/non-mainstream type movies and probably will never be playing in a wide release. Its got great performances and a tight story that's really driven by the characters in this family and their close friends. Amy Adams and Alan Arkin were both great as always, but the show really gets stolen by the younger sister played by Emily Blunt. She was a perfect compliment to everyone that she was on screen with.
I'd recommend that people check this out. Its not a must see but is definitely worth your time/money.
