Sunshine Cleaning

Alan Arkin, Amy Adams, Emily Blunt

American indie which focuses on the inner working of a damaged family. Played somewhat for laughs but overall this wasn't very funny. The business of cleaning up after messy deaths is a useful metaphor but I didn't think this film used it very well. It all seemed to me like sort-of clever hollywood screenwriting.

The players were uniformly good...better than the material they had to work with. I kept wanting it to be better. I'm not sure how and I suspect the filmmakers weren't either.
