SUNSHINE CLEANING
A wise strong of little Miss Sunshine probably still remains in your mind. Telling as to a family who trapped in a problem of each when having a long journey by VW Conbi, this movie shows that a simple plot can be performed well if the acting of each character is good enough. It is what occurred in Sunshine Cleaning, a sad comedy that shows a reality in which life is a fact that must be faced however difficult it is. Having low budget, good players/actors and actress, and being an opening act in Sundance Film Festival last year, sunshine cleaning became one of the best indie movie this year.
Rose Lorkowski (Amy Adams) is a beautiful sexy ex-cheerleader captain at her school. Yet, now she is a single mother who has to bring up her 7-year-old kid, Oscar (Jason Spevack), as a maid. Her sister, Norah (Emily Blunt), has almost the same destiny. She still lives with her father and works part-time from one place to another. In the desperation in sending Oscar to a highly costs civil school, Rose agrees with her wifed-ex-boyfriend but often dates until now, Mac (Steven Zahn), to be a crime scene and other easer. No doubt, Rose also asks her sister to do that dirty and disgusting job.
At first, Sunshine Cleaning seems like asking the audience into the world that full of laughing which the appearance is suit in the scene. Half duration, this film changes into the sad one and occurring the different laugh that unconsciously that is our laugh. Its simple plot can make the audience get bored.
