Suicide may be painless, but in the world of black comedies, it’s the cleaning up afterwards that really hurts. After her hesitant Sylvia Plath biopic, director Christine Jeffs has latched on to a solid if unexceptional script by first-time writer Megan Holley, focusing on two sisters who set up a business to disinfect crime scenes in a New Mexico backwater.

Played by Enchanted’s Amy Adams, Rose Lorkowski is an ex-cheerleader and now single mother whose dismal domestic situation is not helped by looking out for her feckless sister Norah (Young Victoria’s Emily Blunt). Throw in Steve Zahn as Rose’s married lover Mac, and Alan Arkin playing the same kind of grouchy grandpa as in Little Miss Sunshine, and Sunshine Cleaning has performers perfectly qualified for a misfit comedy.

Where Jeffs and Holley mess up, however, is in the details; the bile and blood-soaked aftermath the sisters frequently have to clean up is simply too icky to generate laughs, while a subplot involving Norah’s lesbian attraction to the daughter of a suicide victim is poorly developed. Admirers of SherryBaby, Waitress and other small-town tragicomedies will want to take the time to salvage some well-tuned performances here; Adams shines in a blue-collar setting, playing off Blunt’s amusingly sullen posturing, and Arkin is reliable as ever.

The 26-year-old actress plays a woman caught up in a passionate lesbian love affair in new film ‘Sunshine Clearing’ and is excited about reaching a new fan base, even if she can’t fully relate to them.

She said: “I’m going to become a gay icon. Have I ever flirted with that side? No, never, but I do remember girl crushes on other girls in your year group at school.

“There are these girls who are magnetic and beautiful and so cool. You just feel yourself shrink in their presence. • Continue Reading?

English actress Emily Blunt’s ability to pick up an American accent on the spot has helped to land more roles in Hollywood.

Blunt, 26, who became famous for her roles as the young Queen Victoria and as an icy English fashion magazine assistant in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, will be appearing in a new movie ‘Sunshine Clearing’.

But she admits that she finds it a struggle to keep up the Yankie twang.

“If you’re in America a lot it’s easy to get into playing American,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“All of it, the sounds, the energies, all very different. But it’s really hard to do the accent. I tend to try and stay in it all day, which is the only way I can manage it.

Emily Blunt would love to voice a character in animated series ‘Family Guy’.

Emily Blunt is desperate to feature in ‘Family Guy’.

The British actress is a big fan of the hit US TV animated series and would love to lend her voice to a new character.

She said: “‘Family Guy’ is my favourite show. It’s absolutely appalling, and I love it. Tell them I would love to do it!”

‘Family Guy’ focuses on a dysfunctional family in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island.

The programme was cancelled in 2000 and again 2002, but strong DVD sales persuaded TV bosses to broadcast the series again.

This isn’t the first satirical cartoon Emily has expressed an interest in.

The 26-year-old beauty – who is currently dating ‘The Office’ star John Krasinski – recently voiced a part for ‘The Simpsons’.

Emily portrayed Juliet in an episode entitled ‘Lisa the Drama Queen’, in which Juliet and Lisa Simpson created a fantasy world called ‘Equalia’ where they were queens.

The episode also featured an end credit theme performed by Fall Out Boy.

With four new films, Emily talks about her wide variety of roles – including onscreen affairs with Tom Hanks and his son

IN her new movie, Emily Blunt plays a sluggish twentysomething whose career is going nowhere.

But unlike her character in comedy drama Sunshine Cleaning, 26- year-old Emily has never been out of work since her appearance in The Devil Wears Prada.

And her love life has been pretty busy, too. Not only has the beautiful brunette ditched easy listening crooner Michael Buble for a new man – she’s also had onscreen affairs with Tom Hanks AND his son. • Continue Reading?
