We had heard a lot of good buzz going into Sunshine Cleaning, starring the perpetually lovable and talented Amy Adams and the nearly as up-and-coming Emily Blunt as sisters who break into the lucrative niche growth industry of crime scene cleanup. Dealing with the literal blood, guts, and body fluids of the recently departed forces the ladies to examine some of the biohazards in their own lives. Wackiness and personal growth ensues. Unfortunately, the movie is good but not great, and the rest of the audience seemed to like it a lot more than we did. With a cute kid and Alan Arkin in tow as the sisters' crotchety dad, director Christine Jeffs is totally aiming for Little Miss Sunshine Cleaning, but with a wisp of a script and a couple overwrought scenes, this film ain't making it to the pageant.

Have we talked about the food at Sundance? Well, perhaps that's because it's nothing to blog home about. Everything's overpriced, there's not much by way of selection, and the service is slooooooow. D'ya want a grande nonfat hazelnut latte before your 8:30am film? "Sorry, we just have 2% milk and the only size we have is tall. That'll be $4." While waiting in line, you can purchase a pre-made sandwich for $6.50 or a banana for $2. Eating in town ain't much better. Yesterday we had some terrible pizza. It was supposed to be mushroom, but really it was cheese with some mushrooms thrown on top before reheating. And though we ordered it by the slice, it still took twenty minutes. Even at the fancier restaurants, you're gonna hafta wait at least an hour to get your food. Ah, if only movies alone could sustain us.
