We were attracted to watch a comedy drama called Sunshine Cleaning, as it stars 2 of our favourite actresses at present; Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. A former cheerleading captain who dated the quarterback at high school, Rose (Adams), now finds herself a 30-something single mother, struggling to make ends meet, working as a maid and cleaner. She has a sister, Norah … [Read more...]
