Sunshine Cleaning

[George Bellefontaine]

A small indy film starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt as two sisters facing difficult times, while still haunted by the suicide of their mother. Amy's young son is difficult to control so she has to send him to private schools. This is expensive and difficult for someone on a maid's salary. Alan Arkin is the father who looks after his grandson while Amy and her sister Emily enter the world of crime as crime scene cleaners. They encounter many difficult situations that lead to an eventual cleansing of thier own souls.

This is a nice little drama/comedy heavy with character development, so beware: even though it is only 90 minutes, it is rather slow moving, still I rather enjoyed it, and heck, Amy has some bedroom scenes that make it all worthwhile.

Rumor is the DVD release was edited to remove some Amy Adams nudity. I wonder if that was her call, and why she agreed to do it in the first place if she was uncomfortable about it. Actresses always say they are OK with with nudity if it serves the story, but since when does it only serve the story in theaters?

Yeah, that's possible. The scenes of her in bed with her married lover were pretty much limited to bra and panties, but Amy in bra and panties is just fine with me.

I like it too. I have to admit that the trailers are a little misleading though. It made it out to be more of a light hearted comedy, which it definitely wasn't. I did enjoy it, though it was a little heavy.
