Top 5 Thursday: Female Double-Acts

It’s all about the girl now, because sometimes it takes two strong women to carry a movie. Here are my favourite female double-acts in movies.

5. Marianne and Eleanor in “Sense and Sensebility”
Two sisters, completely different, but they have a strong bond.

4. Jess and Jules in “Bend it Like Beckham”
Two pretty girls who are awesome at soccer! Jess and Jules both come from a different background, but they click right from the start and share one passion: soccer. Oh, and they are both in love with their coach Joe.

3. Annie and Lillian in “Bridesmaids”
They have been best friends since childhood and they are more like sisters. When Lillian is getting married, Annie realizes that she is losing her. Annie does everything to not let that happen.

2. Rose and Nora in “Sunshine Cleaning”
Two sisters, totally different, decide to start a crime scene clean-up business. But what they are actually cleaning up is their messed up lives.

1. Nina and Lily in “Black Swan”
We don’t really get them, because this is a thin line between reality and fantasy here. And also love and hate. Nina is the good girl, she wants to be perfect, and Lily is a gate crasher, an average dancers and ruins everything for Nina.

They Almost Made the Top 5: Thelma and Louise in “Thelma and Louise”

Movie Tip #32 - Sunshine Cleaning

Director: Christine Jeffs

Starring: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Alan Arkin, Steve Zahn, Jason Spevack

Description: Rose Lorkowski (Amy Adams) finds herself a single mother attempting to support her son Oscar (Jason Spevack) and her unreliable sister Norah (Emily Blunt) while working a mundane job as a maid. Once the head cheerleader in school with plenty of prospects, Rose now has little to show for her years, and while she still sees the former lead football player (Steve Zahn), it is little more than a despondent affair. When Oscar is expelled from public school, Rose takes a job as a bio-hazard crime-scene cleaner to help pay for a private education, and brings Norah on to help in her steadily growing business. As the sisters work to clean up the messes left behind by the chaotic lives of others, they must learn to reconcile their own differences and overcome a troubled past if they hope to prosper in their newfound venture.

Reviwe: I was looking forward to this movie ever since I saw the trailer. It's from the makers of "Little Miss Sunshine" which is also a great film. The movie is again very honest and you really like the leading characters. There were some memorable scenes in this movie. The one with the matrass, the moment where Rose and Norah see their mom on TV and when Rose tries to talk to her mom in heaven. I just enjoyed every single minute of it.... Go see it please!
