size=3>Folks, every once in awhile I will drop in a review from a guest critic I
admire in order to help build awareness for a movie that I believe deserves more
attention. Here is nationally-known critic LEONARD MALTIN in his rave review of
"Sunshine Cleaning"...Take it away,
Leonard!<BR><BR></FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=4><FONT color=#000000><FONT
face="Century Gothic" size=2><STRONG>SUNSHINE CLEANING — It would be difficult
to think of two more talented or appealing actresses working today than Amy
Adams and Emily Blunt; their very presence in <EM>Sunshine Cleaning</EM> made me
want to see it, and I’m glad I did. Originally screened at Sundance in 2008, it
has been re-edited since then—for the better, according to first-time
screenwriter Megan Holley. She was inspired by a story she heard on NPR about
two women who had started a business cleaning up messy crime scenes. That’s the
hook for the movie: the incongruity of two clueless young women tackling such a
formidable job is the reason it’s being referred to as a comedy. In fact it’s a
fairly serious film about a sibling relationship and the challenges facing a
single mother who’s never succeeded at anything in life, including marriage.
Yes, there’s humor here but I still wouldn’t call <EM>Sunshine Cleaning</EM> a
comedy. </STRONG></FONT>
<P><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2><STRONG>Adams plays the longtime loser
who’s determined to make a success of herself, while Blunt is her slacker sister
who gave up trying a long time ago. As the story unfolds we learn one of the
main reasons for their behavior patterns. The supporting cast couldn’t be
better: Alan Arkin plays their father whose business schemes are almost always
doomed to failure. Clifton Collins, Jr. is the sympathetic owner of a janitorial
supply store. Steve Zahn is a married man who cares about Adams, but not enough
to leave his wife. </STRONG></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><STRONG><FONT face="Century Gothic"><EM>Sunshine Cleaning</EM>
is an unassuming movie that delivers satisfying entertainment. Director
Christine Jeffs directs both the lighthearted and serious scenes with a deft
hand and gets the most out of Holley’s screenplay, which was shot in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. And it’s a pleasure to watch this cast at
work—especially Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. ---2009 Leonard Maltin (used with
