I watched the movie Sunshine Cleaning last month on blu-ray. It's an independent movie about a domestic cleaner who needs to earn some extra money to pay for her son to go to private school, so she goes into business with her slacker sister and starts cleaning crime scenes instead of toilets. Predictably it all goes horribly wrong mainly due to the aforementioned slacker sister, but also because they have no idea of the laws they're supposed to follow when dealing with bio-hazards or the equipment they'll need. They get some assistance from a friendly one-armed cleaning supplies store owner (disappointingly you never find out how he lost his arm though). And there is a somewhat happy ending, but it wasn't particularly entertaining or satisfying to watch. There were some funny moments, mainly due to the oddball father who's always looking for creative ways to make money but he's lucky if he breaks even with any of them.
Rating: 4 out of 10, most of the points are for originality rather than entertainment value though.
