Sunshine Cleaning is a comedy with heart, starring Academy Award nominee Amy Adams and Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt as two sisters and Academy Award winner Alan Arkin as their father. It’s been called this year’s Juno, but I think it’s better because we end up actually understanding all the characters by the end of the movie. I never quite understood Juno’s playing with sex when she seemed more intelligent than that.
The women of Sunshine Cleaning, however, slowly let us into their world and we get it. And because we get it, we really care about them and want things to work out. By the time the credits roll, we know one sister’s future but not the other, yet we’re hopeful. So we feel good even though we’ve cried as well as laughed. And it’s believable to boot.
So I, Dianne, give it a High Five, which means it was worth driving a few miles to see as well as forking over the money for a ticket and popcorn
