MCT:July 27, 2008at the same time darkly comedic and lighter than fluff, this movie is a (more than slightly bizarre) good time. great acting all around. except maybe by the irritating chris rock.

The most twisted take on delusions in a major Hollyweird flick. Shoot, not even David Lynch could create such a twisted labyrinth... okay, maybe he could if he injected humor, like the Coen bros., or Farrellys. Like a mix of all 5 talents in this little movie alone. Don't be fooled by the cuteness the DVD case tends to display.
Might type more laters... :p -
MCT:June 4, 2008Great movie! Sharp and darkly funny, it tells the interesting tale of a woman who has lost touch with reality against a backdrop of violence and the world of the daytime soap opera.

I'm not sure. I kinda liked it. I was gonna give up, but i was obsessed with finding out what happened. She's INSANE but you can't help but feel for her. And MF is great as the hitman, he shows not everybody's completely bad.

This film is one of the most difficult to describe on one hand it's a funny and better then average chick flick but on the other hand it has elements of a dark comedy. Although to be honest I didn't care. The film certainly has one of the more creative screenplays, strong acting from Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock (Who can get good roles when he tries.) and Greg Kinnear. Why only 3 and a half? Mostly because the film seems too be to dark for light romantic comedies lovers but too light for those who love dark comedies. Overall it's a good not great film but it keeps Neil LaBute from films like the Wicker Man remake so that's good enough for me.

MCT:January 8, 2008this is one of those weird movies where upon watching the end credits you wonder if somehow there is a way to get those 107mins of your life back.

Well, almost any movie with Greg Kinnear in it is going to be marked with a minimum of TWO stars. . . and then it just happens that I LOVE Morgan Freeman!! Renee Zellweger plays a WONDERFUL ditz-head!! I truly enjoyed this movie!!

Very good in some ways, but really gratuitous blood and gore. Not much of the run time is violent or bloody, but when it is. . .oh my?
-

Its a pretty good movie.
I didn't really care for Dell getting his head cut off...with all the blood and shit but its pretty awesome.
xD
I still can't believe that Betty went all the way to LA to see an imaginary person from a show.
Aww cracks me up.
You should see this. ^_^ -

Morgan Freeman's performance was nice but I just didn't like the movie overall. Can't really point out why.
-

As much as I dislike Zellwegen, she did amuse me in this film. There is a wonderful innocence to her character that manages to keep a lid on potentially overbearing post modernism elsewhere in the film, Freeman injects some cynicism and Greg Kinnear is terrifically smarmy. Nothing spectacular but still has enough charm to make it worthwhile.

For anyone who wants to see Chris Rock scalp someone last of the mochican style, this movie is for them.
-
MCT:July 12, 2007Expected so much more with a lineup containing Chris Rock and Morgan Freeman, but it's a complete mess. Not gripping at all, and Rene Zellweger plays a character whom you should usually feel sorry for, but she's just annoying and pathetic, I kindly do not recommend this movie!!!
-
MCT:July 9, 2007NEGATIVE STARS.
I HATE THIS MOVIE. Avoid at all costs. I canot BELIEVE Morgan Freeman lent his talents to such a low budget flick such as this. My IQ dropped 30 points simply by watching this...thing. -
MCT:July 8, 2007A double-edged black comedy that firmly refuses that be predictable, Nurse Betty is one of those movies that constantly flips back between somewhat entertaining and tediously boring for a mixed result. Zellweger succeeds in rendering her clueless character very likeable, and the rest of the cast, with the exception of a surprisingly bad Chris Rock, blend their wacky personalities well in the bittersweet context. A movie worth a rent for its shocking mood shifts, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

Another good performance from Renee Zellweger in the comedy that does require some acting ability. The two stories the hitmen drug deal gone wrong and the fruitloop[ seeking actor dont gel together perfectly but as individual stories they work well.

Even though Post Traumatic Stress disorder cannot be clinically diagnosed until after six months, I still like this movie.

Charlie: People who get the calls are good. Not flashy, good. They get in, they get out, nobody knows a goddamn thing. You understand? Boom, boom, boom. Three in the head, you know they're dead.
A dark hitman comedy, mixed with a light, delusional adventure quest. Freeman and Rock are hilarious as proffesional hit men that travel all over the country to figure out what the hell is up with Renee Zellweger as Betty.
Betty, who was a waitress obsessed with a soap opera, spends most of the movie mezmorized after a traumatizing event, and she does it well. It's a fun offbeat comedy, mixing lives of hit men and a shell shock vitcim.
Greg Kennear also stars as the actor staring in the soap opera. When he comes on screen as the actor, Kinnear does what he's good at, being a Greg Kinnear asshole character.
Betty Sizemore: My friend says if you were any more handsome it would be a crime. It's a shame you're such an asshole.
Plenty of moments make this a fun movie to watch.
Betty Sizemore: He also works at Loma Vista.
Chief Nurse Iris Foster: What is that?
Betty Sizemore: It's the real pretty area, with the palm trees out front and the mountains in the background.
Chief Nurse Iris Foster: You have just described all of southern California. -

Strange black comedy about a woman who witnesses a murder and loses her mind. Never quite clicks, but worth a look for originality.

Very odd. I definitely wasn't expecting the gore or sex scenes, and it made my little sister cry, but it has an interesting story and acting. I didn't really like it over-all, though.
-
MCT:March 14, 2007A little strange I must say. I liked Renee and Morgan and Greg Kinnear so I stayed with it. It's one of those things that make you go, hhmmm.
