Review of The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag

I can't believe I watched this movie on television, with the capacity to turn it off at any moment, and yet didn't. This is a terrible 'comedy'. It takes a bizarre premise- downtrodden librarian confesses to a murder in order to get respect- meanders off into a half-baked plot about the Mafia, and fails to include any jokes whatsoever. It's also staffed by off-the-peg movie stereotypes: dowdy librarian who turns out to be beautiful, hooker with a heart of gold, sinister Mafia boss- they're all there for the thousandth time. It's a bad film. Not 'so bad it's good'. Just bad. Even the 'cute' dog is ugly.
