Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Its overall ability to balance humor and drama, attention to emotional detail and a few winning performances outweighs its maudlin tendencies.
– Connie Ogle,
Miami Herald,
26 Mar 2009
fresh:
Adams and Blunt rise above the clunky premise and execution to once again demonstrate why they've become the go-to girls for any director seeking smart, versatile and warm-blooded talent.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
27 Mar 2009
rotten:
Sunshine Cleaning is one of those dependent independent films -- dependent on the need to be "quirky" yet "heartfelt" too, and as much a slave to the formulaic as any Hollywood product.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
27 Mar 2009
fresh:
Taken on its own terms, though, it's a solid indie effort with plenty of nice character strokes by screenwriter Megan Holley and razor-sharp performances by Amy Adams and Emily Blunt.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
29 May 2009
fresh:
Jeffs makes a good fist of the direction and Blunt proves that she can do comedy, but it's Adams's comforting, charismatic central turn which really gives the film its lift.
