That was an excellent one.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Characters: 2 Adams, Blunt, and Arkin deliver good performances, allowing me to connect and care about what happensScreenplay: 1.5The plot is one the viewer has seen countless times, but it is cleaned up with a fresh citrus scent of decaying bodies. Cinematography: 1.5 Emotional:3.0 In contrast to the quirky happy title, I was pleasantly surprised with the relatable characters and somber yet positive tone of the film.Overall: 2.0

This is such a heartwarming story! If you are into comedy,drama, quirkiness or even dark comedy, this is your movie! Blunt and Adams capture what its like to be a true pair of sisters. Everyone has been in Adam's shoes and she makes you feel so at home. I really feel for Blunt's character because she never really got to know her mother at all. Arkin and the little boy are also a great pair! They bounce off of each-other so well. This film gives all us out there hope. It lets us know that others fail to but we really just need to make the best of the situation. Gives us hope. Perfect mother daughter movie. Its so nice to see both actresses earlier work. They are where they are for a reason.

Another indie movie with "Sunshine" in the title and labeled a comedy. It's from the same producers as "Little Miss Sunshine" - seriously, do these people not know what a comedy is? They must mine the studio accounting department for their humor writers (and I'm an accountant, so it's not offensive). It's another dysfunctional family drama with a smattering of humor, just like real life. The acting was great from the entire cast. It was a bit of a yawner as most indie films are, but I did not feel like I wasted 91 minutes of my life watching it. And Amy Adams and Emily Blunt as sisters - wouldn't mind taking a dip in that gene pool.

Sunshine Cleaning develops a "slice of life" script typical of the indie scene, quite enjoyable, carried by a very good cast with an Adam-Blunt duo that works and an always extra energized Alan Arkin. As for the direction, pretty simple, it didn't fall into the cliché of the indie scene which is always good to point out.Despite everything, the movie seems to lack ambition: the plot is rather classic and the stakes are not enough defined and developed to expect convincing the viewer entirely. The characters aren't totally exploited either such as Joe (the father) or Oscar (the son). The ending is particularly abrupt and expeditious as if the writer didn't know where to go even though a lot of questions are left unanswered.
