(1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 59% Rotten Page   1   4/5 "Driven by top-tier performances from Adams and Blunt, Sunshine Cleaning is a charming dramedy that lifts the dirt on life and death."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 2/5 "Sunshine Cleaning is a slice of life carved so thinly it can barely stand up on its own."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B+ "Because Adams and Blunt bring their best to the roles, the feature carefully avoids the pitfalls of convention, becoming a familiar story executed with unexpected gravitas."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 "...a charming and easy-going indie treat."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "The laughs are not easy to get."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Aims to be bittersweet and lighthearted, but its frothy side and unfocused narrative have misplaced the necessary depth needed for the story to take full flight. Sunshine Cleaning misses the mark, not because of what is there, but what isn't."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman "Shows there's nothing indie dramedies can't turn into faux-regional quirk"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce C+ "A festival film par excellence--one that withers when removed from that special Sundance atmosphere."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A delightful dramedy propelled by the winsome performances of Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, and Alan Arkin"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Perhaps the most compelling reason to see Sunshine Cleaning is the pairing of two of the best and most charismatic young actresses today."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/5 "A lot of Sunshine Cleaning is about the kindness of strangers -- relying on others to get by, gaining strength by being the person someone else leans on -- but it also knows just how strange kindness can be."   Redbox   James Rocchi 2.5/4 "One is hard pressed to find any cinematic personality to Sunshine Cleaning."   Slant Magazine   Jay Antani 2.5/4 "Amy Adams brings a fresh spin to deep hurts and a spark to her determination to get things right."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4.5/5 "So many things worked so well that you might not expect would %u2013 from the cheery fakery of an awkward high school reunion to the complexities of this line of work."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 1/6 "Best to take a page from Rose’s métier and bleach this one fully out of sight and mind."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich 2/5 "Best to take a page from Rose's métier and bleach this one fully out of sight and mind."   Time Out Sydney   Keith Uhlich B "...where 1996's "Curdled" was a bad film that used its subject [crime scene cleanup] for exploitation, Jeffs has somehow made it melancholy and profound."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[F]eels like a breath of fresh air even though, honestly, I've seen this kind of thing plenty before..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "It's still relatively early in the year, but this is definitely one of my favorite films so far in 2009."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 3/5 "It has been cast with such a wonderful group of actors that it is almost, but not quite, possible to forget just how silly, derivative and hackneyed everything else about it is."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2/4 "Not entirely insubstantial, even as the bulk evaporates from the mind."   Suite101.com   Rob Humanick B "This film is both funny and moving. It focuses on how families can provide strength in times of need."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "There are too many side stories cluttering things but there is a good deal of familial heart..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 7/10 "Funny and easy going family comedy with a feeling similar to "Little Miss Sunshine." A steady pace and good comedic chops combine with positive life values for an attractive package"   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 7/10 "Gently ghoulish and bittersweet"   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 5/10 "[Amy Adams and Emily Blunt] suggest a whole vista of human emotion that the muddled script just kind of gestures towards in a vague way."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 59% Rotten Page   1
