Miss Meadows 2014


Miss Meadows     Mary Meadows can be described as very prim and very proper.  Even the adjective ‘very’ may not be a strong enough word?  She wears gloves all the time and she wears socks with her shoes and she always has metal taps on the soles.  She also combines a lot of colors and patterns in her perfect dresses.  She works as a substitute grade school teacher and the children like her very much.  They would like her to be their full time teacher but she says she likes to remain a substitute.  They don’t know that Mary moves to a new town every year.  She starts dating the local sheriff and he soon learns that Mary may be involved in some vigilante style murders of criminals in the town?
     I don’t know if I will be able to forget all the quirks that abound and surround Mary?  I wonder the reasoning and the idea of selecting Katie Holmes for this role?  I would not of thought of her having any of these qualities personally?  Somehow you need to get into a ‘mood’ to watch this film and like it?  3* (This movie is OK)
