The tenderhearted performances—from Amy Adams and Emily Blunt—and glowing characters in Sunshine Cleaning never get a chance to burst through a foggy plot about sisters scrubbing up after grisly crime scenes.

The Bigger Picture: The old adage says: The best roles for actresses fall into three categories—hookers, victims, and doormats. The two sturdy, quirky heroines of Sunshine Cleaning break that rule.

On a cold, bright day at the Chateau Marmont hotel here, this friendly 26-year-old British actress — whose tightly wound turn as Meryl Streep’s groveling girl Friday all but stole “The Devil Wears Prada” from Anne Hathaway — shows only a mild interest that Brad Pitt has rolled up on his motorcycle. Unlike Mr. Pitt and seemingly every other guest at the funky-cool Chateau, who dress like rock stars fresh from shopping at their local Goodwill store, Ms. Blunt arrives looking somewhere between saucy and demure in a short green flowered dress over black tights and knee-high copper boots, her face blessedly free of the pounds of blinding green eye shadow she piled on for “Prada.”

Though the meatiest role goes to Ms. Adams as the responsible elder sister, Ms. Blunt cannily underplays both the comedy and the tragedy of the vulnerable Norah, whose good intentions far exceed her life skills. • Continue Reading?

Oscar nominee Amy Adams and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ actress Emily Blunt are sisters in the new film ‘Sunshine Cleaning,’ a script Blunt calls the “best thing” she’s read in a long time.

‘Sunshine Cleaning’ is the name of the crime scene/bio hazard clean-up service the siblings start in order for Adam’s character to pay for her son’s private school tuition. “I love the dynamic of the family,” Adams says of the movie.

‘Sunshine Cleaning’ hits theaters March 13.
