Wonderfully offbeat film!

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Not even bad in a good way

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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!

"A Pulp Fiction- Mary Poppins," the one and only quote used on the dvd packaging of this film (credited to Frank Scheck of the Hollywood Reporter), I discovered, to my disdain, is a line used in the film. The character of Miss Meadows is in no way comparable to Mary Poppins who is a well defined character written to be endearing as well as mysterious. Katy Holmes looks the part and clearly gives her sincerest effort but with hardly a shred of character development and an overuse of incoherent dialogue, she simply wasn't given the tools needed to make the role shine. As for Pulp Fiction...I didn't find a correlation there either. Pulp Fiction utilized an intricately constructed script woven with fierce dialogue as well as an evocative display of intertwined editing. The plotless of Miss Meadows unravels from a mess of confusion like spaghetti noodles sliding from a plate. The opening idea that the title character has an unspoken symbiotic language with animals is never explored or even revisited until a few seconds before the credits roll, despite the fact that a poorly utilized villain has a canine companion. The script tries far beyond its reach to deliver clever black comedy dialogue, much of which falls flat, leaving the viewer perplexed. The characters we know so little about enter into life situations knowing even less about each other. We do actually receive one defining nugget of the main character in the form of a flashback but unfortunately it is segmented confusingly within the film when it may have served the story better as a whole scene inserted into the right place. In addition, there are a few cuts in the film that linger on to the point of throwing the viewer out of the suspension of disbelief and left to wonder when they will end. I do heartily agree with other reviewers that the concept is great. The proof being that it worked so wonderfully in Serial Mom directed by John Waters. My suggestion...watch that instead.

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.

Near Perfect and Consistently and Brilliantly Toned Female Fantasy. A Tragic Childhood Tale of the Storybook Variety. A Modern Day Take with Off-Beat Style that Chooses its Words Cleverly, Succinct, Funny, and to the Point.Katie Holmes is a Wonderfully Bent Schizophrenic Vigilante, a Jekyll and Hyde Character with Hyde's Monster Motivated by Justice.Never Residing in Real-Life there are not so Subtle Hints that none of this is Happening in what could be Conceived as anything but an Expressionistic, Exaggerated Existence. Surrealism. Even when the Titular Character meets Her Love Interest (James Badge Dale) the Local Law Enforcement, They address each other as Miss Meadows and Sheriff til the Very End. The Entire Beautifully Rendered Movie is Goofy like that and what makes "Miss Meadows" a Sleeper that is Destined for Cult Status is its Bona Fides with much More Going for it than just a "Girls With Guns" Appeal.Writer/Director Karen Leigh Hopkins has Crafted a Decidedly Female Rant with Feminine Machismo Charm.
