Nurse Betty (2000)

Cast: Morgan Freeman (Charlie), Renee Zellweger (Betty Sizemore), Greg Kinnear (Dr. David Ravell/George McCord), Chris Rock (Wesley)
For complete info, see IMDb's Nurse Betty page.

As someone who was raised on General Hospital and has always been fond of soaps, I thought the idea of this movie was priceless. I've heard so many stories about women believing that daytime characters are real and could really see someone going over the edge the way Betty does and taking it to the extreme. Betty goes through a terribly traumatic experience and goes off the deep end. Very entertaining.

There were definitely some problems with the script and it was a bit too dark at points, but I found it interesting. Chris Rock has always annoyed me, so that was probably the biggest down side of the movie for me.

Not the best movie, but if you've liked soap operas (or even if you think the idea of a woman believing they're real is funny), I think this is worth the rental.

Grade: B-
