Sunshine Cleaning, a review by Rich

Title: Sunshine Cleaning

Runtime:91
Certificate:R
Year:2008
Genres:Comedy, Drama

Plot:My Review:
Well it is listed as a comedy drama, but I must have missed the funny bits, for me it is through and through a light-hearted drama following 2 sisters attempts to make money and deal with lifes challenges.
Unfortunately I never felt enough empathy or sympathy with the leads, or else I may have enjoyed the film more. It is not rubbish by any means, there is a solid storyline, some good acting, a few interesting sideline characters, and a nice pace helping the film trot along easily.
This is a story of hope, definately uplifting, and if you like such quirky films, this may be suited well for you.

Bottle Rocket, a review by snowcat

Review

Based on a short shot in 1992, Bottle Rocket is Wes Anderson's directorial debut, despite featuring long time actor James Caan the film also features the acting debuts of both Owen and Luke Wilson.  Although commercially Bottle Rocket was a failure it drew critical attention to Wes Anderson and helped launch his career.
