Amy Adams and Emily Blunt are sisters who start a service to clean up after crime scenes. Screenwriter Megan Holley was inspired by an NPR story about a similar service, and interesting bits attest to her research on the subject. Without prior experience, the sisters learn quickly about the need for things like hazardous-waste permits. But mostly this is a family story, and Holley’s strong characters are what set the movie apart. Alan Arkin plays a character sort of similar to the one he played in Little Miss Sunshine, just as dedicated to his grandchild, nearly as eccentric, but less vulgar. Those who found that movie too stridently wacky may still be pleased by this; those who enjoyed it as a family story will too.
