Once the high school cheerleading captain who dated the quarterback, Rose Lorkowski now finds herself a thirty something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah is still living at home with their dad Joe, a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get rich quick schemes. Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides and other…specialized situations. As they climb the ranks in a very dirty job, the sisters find a true respect for one another and the closeness they have always craved finally blossoms. By building their own improbable business, Rose and Norah open the door to the joys and challenges of being there for one another — no matter what — while creating a brighter future for the entire Lorkowski family.—–Amy Adams, en nomination aux Oscars, Emily Blunt, rcipiendaire dun Golden Globe et Alan Arkin, laurat dun Oscar, trouvent une faon tout fait inattendue de donner un nouveau sens leur vie dans cette inspirante comdie.

Cette aventure leur permet de faire le mnage dans leur vie, tout en nettoyant ce qui reste de la vie des autres.Amazon.caIfSunshine Cleaning occasionally recalls Sundance sensations likeLittle Miss Sunshine andHappy, Texas–note the cookie-cutter title and casting of Alan Arkin–it still offers an irresistible charm all its own. They don’t look much alike, but Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, who both appeared opposite Tom Hanks inCharlie Wilson’s War, offer convincing, heartfelt performances as Albuquerque sisters who barely get along (all the more impressive considering Blunt’s upper-crust British credentials). Single mother and former cheerleader Rose (Adams), the optimistic and semi-responsible one, cleans houses for a living. Norah (Blunt), the pessimistic and irresponsible one, lives with their father, Joe (Arkin), a loving grandfather and lousy salesman, and attempts to earn her keep as a waitress. When both women find themselves in need of a quick influx of cash, Rose convinces Norah to join her as a crime-scene cleaner, a job her married, police-officer lover (an underused Steve Zahn) assures her pays well. He’s right, but the ladies find the work even more emotionally demanding than physically repulsive, especially once they become entangled with Lynn (24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub), a lonely blood-bank worker, and Winston (Capote’s Clifton Collins Jr.), a one-armed cleaning-supply salesman. Megan Holley’s script may be a mite overstuffed, but the pace never lags, and Christine Jeffs’ follow-up toSylvia packs an emotional punch thatLittle Miss Sunshine–arguably, the funnier film–lacked, even if the Oscar-winning Arkin plays a similarly unconventional grandfather figure. Then again: few do it better.–Kathleen C. Fennessy
