Sunshine Cleaning

I spent part of my day off today watching the DVD Sunshine Cleaning.  It was billed as a comedy.  After watching it, if this is what the filmmakers think is a comedy, I hate to see what their depressing movies are like.

Sunshine Cleaning is the story of Rose who is a single mother who is working a cleaning job.  She used to be really popular in high school but hasn't made much of herself.  She is having an affair with a married man.  In need of money after her son gets kicked out of school, she and her sister Nora set up a crime scene cleanup business.  Nora is not one to be reliable so you know where this is going.

Nothing good happens to these people.  I don't care to watch movies like this.  It's a good thing I was in a reasonably good mood today, because this film might have pushed me over the edge.  The movie did have a happy ending, but by the time it got there it too little too late.  

I would pass on Sunshine Cleaning.
