Featured reviews
What else can I say about this quirky dark comedy. I enjoyed this movie as it was unique. Holmes is excellent as a Miss Goody Two Shoes with a very dark twisted secret. She dresses as if the fashion of flowery Laura Ashley vomited on her with preppy dresses. Holmes is the child of Charles Bronson's "Death Wish" and "The Simpsons" Maude Flanders with a mix of "Pulp Fiction's Samuel L Jackson and Mary Poppins with Sheldon Cooper. It is not to the end you find out the reason for her mental unstableness, so I won't spoil it. One can see she is not playing with a full deck of cards as she jas wild dreams and visions then goes about being the town vigilante and getting rid of the Earth of 'dregs.' The "dregs" are people who will get off with a morally deprived lawyer that will cost the taxpayers over $60,000 a year in legal fees and to keep behind bars. She meets the town sheriff who figures out she's the vigilante they've been looking; however he is in love with her. As the first time she has sex she is going between pleasurable convulsing to laughing her head off. Just as if virginally Maude Flanders and Mary Poppins had sex in their mid 30's... She did the acting of Miss Meadow great and I was cracking up at her portrayal. My cats even looked at me strange: so I know I was laughing my head off. An enjoyable movie but not a jump for joy all over the place.
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 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.
I'm happy for Katie Holmes that she got a role, that might seem one sided or one dimensional on the outside, but is actually pretty meaty on the inside. And she has fun playing that character obviously. Unfortunately the movie or rather the script itself is not so good. It can't keep up with the pace and quality of the character.
It's a weird movie nonetheless and it's very violent while innocent looking. If you don't mind that split, which actually makes the difference to other movies, you will enjoy this. It's not about being right (though you couldn't argue the values), but about how or if one should act upon those values ... Not that the movie will leave you thinking too much ... It's supposed to be entertainment after all
