The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
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.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
A 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.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
The movie resorts to a mundane shoot-'em-up finale that leaves the viewer feeling cheated and betrays the movie's PG-13 rating.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
A little bit overrated, but fairly fun comedy.
Baltimore Sun
Stephen Hunter
There is definitely a gun in Betty Lou's handbag, but is there a brain in Betty Lou's head?
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Stupid title, stupid movie, but not without its saving graces.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Whether in Betty Lou's original demure guise or her subsequent glamorous transformation, Miller is convincing even when the movie isn't.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It just sort of limps along under the late-summer sun until, at last, its forced whimsy expires.
Variety
Brian Lowry
A clever premise that ends up being as bland as its put-upon title character.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's a bit like finding a severed head in an Easter basket.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The movie's a handbag full of formulaic fluff.
TV Guide
Penelope Ann Miller transcends her material in The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag, a half-baked Disney comedy that also half-benefits (the first half, to be exact) from the sly, subversive direction of Allen Moyle.

Scott Weinberg
So darn innocuous it almost disappears.
