HOT: Sunshine Cleaning, Classic Cinema, 9 Gordon St, Elsternwick

It's hardly a surprise that perenially sunny Amy Adams is the star of the movie called Sunshine Cleaning. But it's not all singalongs and pastel cupcakes - the film is about a former high school cheerleader, now single mum Rose (Adams) who teams up with her flaky, dope-smoking sister Norah (Emily Blunt with a very convincing American accent) to start an unusual business - a crime scene clean-up service. The movie is not so much about cleaning as it is about Rose's down-at-heel life, complete with dead-end affair with her former high school sweetheart, and the sisters loving and sometimes fractitious relationship. It's a funny, kooky and heartwarming film and I think everyone will relate a little to the dysfunctional Lorkowski family.
