There'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.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten
It just sort of limps along under the late-summer sun until, at last, its forced whimsy expires.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
A clever premise that ends up being as bland as its put-upon title character.
Brian Lowry, Variety
Rotten
It's a bit like finding a severed head in an Easter basket.
