Day #75 - Sunshine Cleaning



I just love it when a movie is marketed as a comedy and turns out to be well...not funny at all. . Sunshine Cleaning to me, looked like a really cute and funny movie about two sisters and their cleaning business. All of that being said, the movie was good, it just wasn't at all what I was expecting.

Sunshine Cleaning is about two sisters who are very different from each other. Amy Adams plays the older sister, Rose, and is the more responsible one - her younger sister Norah is reckless and rebellious. She is played by Emily Blunt, who I love...but who maybe shouldn't try American accents :) It was odd. The sisters lost their mother to suicide when they were really young so they were left under the care of their father. Rose used to be really popular in high school but seems to have lost most of her friends along the way and gained a son but no husband. She works for a cleaning company and is sleeping with a man who I presume was an old high school boyfriend...only problem is, he's married. So you could say Rose's life isn't exactly what she hoped for. When Rose learns that there is more money to be had in crime scene cleanup, she starts her own company with Norah, hoping to make something of herself. The movie goes on with various cleaning situations and a fairly predictable relationship between Rose and Norah. There were a few funny moments but overall it was a downer - I give it 1 thumb up.
