Miss Meadows

**Never fear... Miss Meadows is here.** This is not the film everybody was expecting. But not bad to try after coming to know it. It is a black comedy, about a young single woman, a substitute elementary school teacher who moved to a new neighbourhood. She has no limit for her imaginations. Her world was full of wondrous, but there's a little dark secret too. Later, when she comes to face a big hurdle, how she's going to handle her new boyfriend who is a cop and from there where it heads was revealed. It was a Katie Holmes' show.

The supporting cast was okay though. That little girl from 'Girl Meets World, Ava, was good.

**Although the main character is adorable, the movie just doesn't work the way it was intended.** I can't help but look at this movie with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I like the final result and I loved the main character and the overall concept of the script. On the other hand, I'm forced to consider that the film works poorly as a black comedy, doesn't have any funny (and I'm a fan of black humor) and would have been more interesting if it had been thought of as a drama, with some romance and mystery mixed in. The script starts from a good premise: a lovely young woman with old-fashioned tastes who seem totally innocent and above suspicion, but who, unbeknownst to anyone, is dedicated to cleaning the world of evildoers. The idea was good, but what the film does is turn it into
