It was entertaining, for the most part, but I found the ending to be underwhelming and I just can't get down with excessive animal cruelty. I was also a bit miffed that the entire plot basically revolved around

the woman's rich, crazy ex wants to track her down for trying to kill him when she discovered he was a pedophile?

??? Like...  seriously? That's what this whole mess is about? No thanks.

Not sure what rating I would give this so we'll go right in the middle - 3 stars for the first 75% or so and the curious idea of the Blinds.
