There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I mean Katie Holmes was brilliant in this! I'm not a Katie Holmes fan per se but she exemplified Mary Meadows and personified managed mental illness, contradicting moral compass, compassion and honesty. The first opening scene was so refreshingly surprising and funny I couldn't help but watch glued with increasing intrigue. Man, you want to root for her and the calamity that is her crazy yet calm life is dark and optimistic at the same time. I felt a bit out of sorts watching it... and I loved that! Man I thoroughly enjoyed this film and Katie you were so amazing not one actress I can think of would've done a better job!

Brilliant portrayal of a psychopath who views herself as a regular person trying to do the right thing- since the justice system obviously has failed- to take out the real psychopaths. It seems a little corny at first glance and silly, but the underlying message (of eliminating the evil instead of incarcerating and trying to rehabilitate them, and at taxpayers expense) is bold, and how the sheriff helps our heroine, in the end, to help her keep up her role as the vigilante, is priceless. Wish we had more peeps like her (and him) in the real world. Just one little note tho- she should have collected her spent shells- just saying lol.

i've never reviewed a movie on IMDb before. i review them on my facebook page when i feel the urge, but i'm supremely unqualified to do so. although what the qualifications would be, i don't exactly know.first, let me say that black comedy is a category which seems to impact me and stick to me longer than nearly any other genre. and i'm a sucker for the unreliable narrator as well and they usually go hand-in-hand.when i say this movie was brilliant, i have no proof of it, no one single detail which would qualify it, but i do know it held me enthralled from beginning to end. and yes, there were a couple of rough patches where i thought the script sort of wandered off track, but then, i didn't write it, so it might well have been exactly what they intended and that one scene or two or an exchange of dialogue just didn't resonate with me.i completely understand this genre is not for everyone and the comedy goes right over the heads of many people--too many things seem to do so these days.i apologize for the wandering 'review', but i just think it deserves 2-3 stars more than the IMDb is showing as the average. don't let the slightly low rating keep you from watching it./guy

Well, "Miss Meadows" one night, "Everly" the next, followed by "Spring" the third. Why can't the girls just get along with people? "Miss Meadows", well portrayed, and humorously so, by Katie Holmes, is straight out of (no, not Compton) that old school, sweet mannered, elementary school teacher mode. Except! She's got some issues and a pistol in her purse. She's a staunch believer in exacting justice where necessary, but the little darlings/munchkins love her so she can't be all bad. Props, sets, locations, acting all good. A bit of a hyperbolic parody on all those Miss Manners types. Flash backs will start to explain her past and will be clearer by the end of the movie, but has she changed? No subtitles, but Katie Holmes dances (sort of) and sings "These Boots are Made for Walking". Also, an unusual connection to the Polly Klaas event.
