Sunshine Cleaning

April 9.

"Sunshine Cleaning" was billed as a comedy and a drama and although there are some funny scenes this is not is comedy. I think it's mostly about accepting the life you've been dealt and dealing with the decisions you make. There's a lot of disappointment and coming to terms with life. But there's also a lot about being there for the people in your life.

I love the flawed characters in this story about two sisters who start a bio hazard cleaning company.

Amy Adams is cute and perky even as she cleans up blood and body fluids. Emily blunt is perfect as her angsty sister and Alan Arkin never disappoints. He steals a number of scenes as he makes plans with his grandson. (Very little miss sunshine with his inappropriate grandfatherly advice.)

Although there are dark themes, not to mention all the crime scenes, in the end "Sunshine Cleaning" is uplifting.
