After seeing quite a few espionage-type duds lately, this movie is a fresh surprise. It's quirky, introspective, observant, and features a knock-out cast. Everyone involved here pulls their weight, and it's a wholly satisfactory result. The comedy is well placed while the drama mixed in with the Adams character touching and identifiable. Rose Lorkowski is interesting and pathetic simultaneously. The world has beaten her down, and she seems to be straining under the weight of taking care of her whole family. I enjoyed the sister's relationship best of all including especially the first several cleaning episodes. The memories and mourning of their mother became a little heavy-handed a times, but it didn't get too much in the way to pull down it's good rating. Definitely worth a rental.
