Sunshine Cleaning

So, just before I start to watch Old Boy for the first time, I thought I would quickly write up about quite a sweet film, if not totally overly sentimental one, I just watched called Sunshine Cleaning with Amy Adams and Emily Blunt.

"In order to raise the tuition to send her young son to private school, a mom starts an unusual business -- a biohazard removal/crime scene clean-up service -- with her unreliable sister."

It sounds a bit crap, and actually, I can see why lots wouldnt like it - but there is something so very likeable about both of the female leads above  (particularly Emily Blunt who I love in The Devil Wears Prada). And also Alan Arkin was in it - whom again i also love (particularly in Little Miss Sunshine). Amy Adams is OK, I guess...Its a very watchable film, a little depressing at times, but always touching. Particularly the relationship Amy Adams character (the former cheerleader captain now cleaning lady with a 'bastard' kid) makes with a guy with one hand. And also Emily Blunts character trying to get over the death of their mother. I did feel all warm and fuzzy inside at the end.

Definitely worth a watch if it comes on TV!!!
