Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008) by Christine P — 28 Feb 2010

Out of luck and sick of her low-paying house-maid job, a woman, played by Amy Adams, decides to take a non-traditional route into the world of entrepreneurship. To pay the bills for her son's private school, she and her sister begin taking lucrative contracts to clean in the aftermath of crime and death.

Soiled mattresses, bloody shower curtains, and torn families are what they see every day in their hazmat suits. Alan Arkin rounds out the family as the sisters' father, always hatching plans to try to get a big payout in business.

The young son and his friend, the cleaning supply store clerk, make this ensemble even more compelling. Cute movie with good storytelling and anytown backdrop of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
