Miss Meadows

It was very strange but I enjoyed it. It was exactly what I was in the mood for. If you like the trailer, you'll probably like the movie in an odd way. If you don't like the trailer you might skip this one.

This movie deserves so much more credit than its low IMDB rating. It's is a solid 7.5, simultaneously dark and empowering. Considering all the uninspired scripts being turned into movies these days, Miss Meadows dares to be different. Sure there are a couple of heavy-handed scenes, but pretty much about the film works well, particularly the solid acting (even the kids) and the fresh dialogue, Miss Meadows is a deliciously unique character, and Katie Holmes plays her perfectly. It's been a while since I've seen Holmes in anything, but Miss Meadows is a great reminder of how riveting Holmes can be on screen.

If you like unique and quirky you will LOVE this movie. A prim schoolteacher with a past, tap dances her way into the hearts of her young students and everyone around her! Be prepared to enjoy this one if you are quirky yourself.

This movie is a combination of "Serial Mom" (1994) and "The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag" (1992.)

This has been filmed all over Cleveland, Ohio; it makes you wonder about Cleveland: Edgewater Park, Cleveland - Miss Meadows and the Sheriff Beach Scene 3850 Pearl Rd, Cleveland - Restaurant Starkweather Ave, Cleveland - Miss Meadows home Edgewater Dr, Cleveland - opening scene Whiskey Island Dr, Cleveland - Sheriff pulls Miss Meadows car over Tremont Montessori School, Cleveland - School

The movie is a psychological thriller posing as a black comedy.

Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is a well-balanced individual with a mission to dispatch evil beings. Her life gets complicated when she falls in love with the local law enforcement (James Badge Dale) and they have an accordion-ly good time. Which instinct shall prevail?

I now have a new respect for substitute teachers we have a lot to learn from them. I also learned that law enforcement can be fixable and personable.

I thought this movie was underrated and I love Katie Holmes and James badge Dale and Jean smart. I thought ahead of next week's lot very cute. This is one you don't wanna let get away I like it.
