You don’t need me to sell you on Amy Adams. She’s not just a smoking hot magazine cover subject; she’s been turning in great performances in everything from Drop Dead Gorgeous to Junebug to “The Office.” And then there’s Emily Blunt, who was one of the few bright spots in The Devil Wears Prada. I guess I’m saying just having them involved in a film has to make you a little bit curious, and rightly so. The trailer’s out now for Sunshine Cleaning (not to be confused with just Sunshine cleaning), an indie flick about a mom (Adams) who starts a crime scene clean-up business with her sister (Blunt) so she can get the money to send her son to private school. It definitely has some promise:

I love Amy Adams, but trailer was cornball pudding hell.

I think the deciding factor on this one is release date. December release pre-Christmas? Maybe there's something there; possibly even some awards push for Adams (judging by the Variety clipping in the trailer).

December release post-Christmas through February? Might not be so hot. There are exceptions, obviously, but, yeah. Might not be so hot.

March to May release? That's where it gets interesting. That tends to be where studios dump the tiny little indie films they have no idea what to do with and let them sink or swim on their own for a few weeks. Possibly even only on a limited release to either determine if its worth a wider release or to fill some clause in some contract so they don't get sued.

Anyway I look at it, I'm interested. Amy Adams + Emily Blunt + ... = Profit, right?

Alan Arkin - From "Little Miss Sunshine" to "Sunshine Cleaners." Grumpy grandpa much?

Saw it Sundance, its kindof cute but not great. There are hot women in it so that's something.

Saw a movie of that basic premise in the early nineties. Think it had a Baldwin in it.

It was called Curdled. T'was Billy Baldwin.

That was "Curdled". I never saw it but I got a promo copy of the soundtrack. Fun cumbia stuff. That's what this reminded me of too.

Hee :) Ta, Jay.

Loob is right:

Though this one is a dark comedy, heavy on the "dark." I liked it.

I want to be Alan Arkin when I grow up.

this reminded me of a book i read years ago called Gig, Americans Talk about Their Jobs. (good book, by the way). one of the interviewees was a crime scene cleaner, and i remember thinking at the time that it could be the subject of a very interesting story... i'm just not sure yet if this will be it.

Emily Blunt needs to clean up the mess where my heart used to be after it exploded upon seeing her.

Posted by: Jap-Jay at October 7, 2008 3:41 PM

Arkin was genius in So I Married an Axe Murder. I thought Adams was great in Enchanted.

The movie doesn't look like anything I'd be interested in seeing.

Posted by: Eep at October 7, 2008 8:25 PM

I love Amy Adams and Emily Blunt so much, I don't even need to watch the trailer to know that I'll be seeing this one.
