Prim schoolteacher Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is not entirely
what she appears. Well-mannered, sweet, and caring, yes, but underneath the
candy-sweet exterior hides the soul of a vigilante, taking it upon herself to
right the wrongs in this cruel world by whatever means necessary. Things get
complicated, however, when Miss Meadows gets romantically entangled with the
town sheriff (James Badge Dale) and her steadfast moral compass is thrown off,
begging the question: "Who is the real Miss Meadows and what is she
hiding?" Written by Unknown

MISS MEADOWS is written and directed by Karen Leigh Hopkins,
and produced by Eric Carliner & Eric Brenner. From the onset of the film I
felt I might enjoy it. Yet as the story began to unravel I just wasn’t buying
it. I understand this was to be a black comedy, but nothing about this film
resonated with me. I tried to track down the elements that were not sitting
with me we and I’d have to say the absurd character played by Katie Holmes was unbelievable.
I mean too many times I felt the reactions of the character did not jive with
what was being portrayed as what the character would really do and the fact
that this was to be comical aspects left me feeling let down. So for Miss
Meadows I give it 2 stars.
