Leave your thoughts about The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA terrible picture, absent rhythm and purpose, straining hard to remain charismatic and mysterious while it engages in pure nonsense, crudely arranged by Moyle in a career-killing feature. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWhether in Betty Lou's original demure guise or her subsequent glamorous transformation, Miller is convincing even when the movie isn't. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonThere's nothing wrong with The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag that isn't wrong with about a thousand other commercially homogenized comedies of its kind. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarIt just sort of limps along under the late-summer sun until, at last, its forced whimsy expires. |
| VarietyBrian LowryA clever premise that ends up being as bland as its put-upon title character. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe Gun In Betty Lou's Handbag, however, isn't merely a genial misfire. It's downright awful. |
| User ReviewMissy MAwesome, totally Awesome!! She didn't even do it. Own it, love it |
| User ReviewBradley HThis is one of those movies you would never watch on purpose, but would be pleasantly surprised to find on TV in the middle of the night. It's not great, but just funny enough to keep you from going back to bed. |
| User ReviewTroy M4 stars just because she had such a cute dog! I love Boston Terriers!!! |
| User ReviewJohn TA somewhat wacky movie. Loved the librarian role. Has a nice message to it. |
