(03/13/2009): "[T]he director and her co-stars, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, bring a steadfast sense of truth to the story of two sisters trying to jump-start their stuck lives and grow up....They're just wonderful, these two actresses, and quietly spectacular in different ways."

Wonderful performances across the board. Very real. Funny, and touching. |

Wanders like life, not like a movie. |

Life is messy, and there is money and purpose to be found in cleaning it up. |

Excellent production values and very fetching stars in Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. |

| Bottom Line |
A touching slice-of-life movie about the lives of young women who clean up after someone's death. |

| Pros |
Interesting concept, well-written, strong performances. |
| Cons |
Short run-time |
| Bottom Line |
I would highly recommend Sunshine Cleaning. If you like dark and quirky with offbeat humor, this film is for you. |
| Pros |
Adam Arkin; little kid; a helpful one-armed man; some laughs; bonus feature's featurette |
| Cons |
Amy Adams questionable; average story with gimmick |
| Bottom Line |
Biohazard removal requires a license, special equipment and protective wear. The sisters didn't know this at first. |
