Amazon.co.uk Review

A frenzied, screwball comedy with a lighter-than-light touch, Nurse Betty is a radical departure for director Neil LaBute, who helmed the vitriolic In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbours. Betty (Renée Zellweger) is a perky Kansas waitress whose sole happiness comes from her obsession with the television soap A Reason to Love, starring dreamboat doctor David Ravell (Greg Kinnear). When her slimy car-dealer husband (Aaron Eckhart) enters into a drug transaction that goes horribly awry, Betty inadvertently witnesses the carnage and, in shock, becomes Nurse Betty, determined to reunite with her long-lost love, Dr Ravell. Tailed by two hit men (Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock), Betty heads to LA a determined woman, unaware she has their huge drug stash in tow. Though it takes a good half-hour to get going, once LaBute and the film hit top speed, it's a surreal, often brilliant ride, as Betty's fantasy and reality collide, with unexpected (really unexpected) developments. The screenplay (by John C Richards and James Flamberg) is wickedly inventive and like his previous films, LaBute has assembled a peerless cast. Zellweger is charming and daffy in her best performance since Jerry Maguire and Freeman is by turns menacing and touchingly romantic in his obsession with Betty. Kinnear is the epitome of self-serving shallowness (and makes us love him all the more for it) and Rock finally shakes his stand-up persona and emerges as a great comic actor. Look also for a scene-stealing Allison Janney as the producer of Kinnear's soap. Most films rarely get such talent operating at full capacity and Nurse Betty soars because of it. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars A classy black comedy romance, 18 Aug 2007

By	S J Buck (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Nurse Betty is a film that isn't sure what it wants to be, but is still hugely entertaining. Renee Zellweger plays the title role, who after witnessing a murder goes on the road to meet and fall in love with a Doctor in a soap opera. The twist is that the trauma has affected her mind so she believes the soap opera character is a real person.

Of course it isn't as simple as that! Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock play two dodgy characters who are trying to track Betty down. Chris Rock is not an actor I rate at all, but here with the always excellent Morgan Freeman he is watchable and the two actors work off each other very well. This is all done with some style and reminded me certain parts of the Coen Brothers movies, with perhaps just a hint of Tarantino.

The only downside for me was the music soundtrack, which was a little too gushing and romantic. However in all other respects this is a well constructed road movie that I throughly enjoyed and would happily recommend to anyone.
