The winner of the Best Screenplay award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, this film is a darkly comic story about one woman's incredible determination to make her dreams come true against numerous odds. Fantasy collides with reality as Betty Sizemore, a small-town waitress and soap opera fan, inspires herself and everyone she meets to find at least a piece of their real selves throughout this romantic, dangerously funny road picture. The popular TV daytime drama "A Reason to Love" has an especially devoted viewer in Betty. One night, watching a videotape of that day's episode, she becomes an accidental witness to a deal going fatally awry for her no-good car salesman husband. Betty, traumatized, enters into a fugue state that allows - even encourages - her to keep functioning, in a kind of alternate reality. Betty Sizemore becomes "Nurse Betty," who is set on returning to the love of her life, the show's Dr. David Ravell. Betty promptly sets off for Los Angles in a! "borrowed" 1997 Buick LeSabre - which is precisely what her late husband's killers are looking for. As Betty makes contact with Dr. Ravell and the hit men slowly but surely track her down, life begins to imitate art and vice versa.

User Reviews: Nurse Betty (2000)

  • Overall:

    Dark Comedy

    By Kabir  Apr 23, 2002

    Its sad that most people today (especially the ones that vote online) don't really understand what satire really is. They are so used to in your face toilet humor (which isn't all that bad sometimes) that they couldn't tell a good movie if it hit the...m in the face. Nurse Betty is a subtle and very imaginative comedy not meant for everbody. I really loved this movie and if you like movies that a litte more intelligent than the ones playing at your local cinemaplex go and rent this one. Its well worth your time. Read more Less

    Did you actually watch this?

    By Chad  Feb 20, 2002

    This is garbage. I saw this opening day because I liked Chris Rock, and Morgan Freeman. It was the first and only movie I have ever wished I didn't pay anything for. It was horrible.Think of the furthest thing from comedy. This movie is a little ...further then that! Nothing in this movie is funny. I laughed at the guy in front of me constantly dropping the F bomb at this poor excuse for a movie.To sum everything up, I saw this movie about 2 years ago, and still to this day when someone asks what the worst movie I ever saw was... without flinching, or thinking, I saw Nurse Betty. (And I saw Glitter)The fact that the "Experts" gave this movie rave reviews just proves my point. If the media hates it... it will be good. If they like it... ask some friends first. If they love it... it will suck.I wish I could give less then one star, but zero stars doesn't register to the average user rating. one will have to do! Read more Less
