Nurse Betty (2000) starring Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, Greg Kinnear. Betty Sizemore (Zellweger) is in love with a soap opera star (Kinnear) whom she has seen only on TV. When she sees her husband killed while she is watching a tape of the soap, it pushes her over the edge, and she decides she must travel to Los Angeles to find the soap star -- who, she is convinced, is her ex-fiance. But wait, there's more! Due to circumstances beyond her control, she is pursued from Kansas to California by two hit men (Freeman and Rock) who think there are stolen drugs in her car. The script takes unexpected twists and turns, right up until the end. All of the actors deliver very good performances, and the film gets funnier and funnier as it goes along. Main shortcoming is the lack of subtitles for the hearing impaired -- but the DVD does have closed captions, which are adequate. Grade: A-
