A single mom (Amy Adams) desperately wants to change her circumstances in hopes of providing a better life for her son. While working as a maid she stumbles upon the idea of working as a crime scene clean-up crew. Enlisting the help of her slacker sister(Emily Blunt), they take on a tad more than they bargained for.
Total indy film. If you are a fan of Sundance, which is where this premiered last year, you will love it. It is a total character piece. Slow, methodical, but clever. The story is simple, predictable, and does lag at times, but the characters really pull you through it. Both actresses do a fabulous job and Alan Arkin, who plays their father, is great as well.
Again this is much more of an independent film, but for you traditionalist, I think you will still be OK with it as it doesn't stray too far from the formulaic. Just remember that it is more of a character development deal and does get a tad slow at times, but very entertaining.
*** Must See
Rated R (for language and thematic elements)
