Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty is a movie that has received numerous great reviews; will it live up two it? The Boston Globe gives it three and a half out of four stars and says it's lively, edgy, full of zigs and zags, juicy performances and off beat fun. The Chicago Sun Times gives it three out of 4 stars, and the New York Times says it's the finest American comedy since Flirting with Disaster. Good review after good review this movie is getting. I couldn't find one paper or critic that didn't enjoy this movie. Here's another from Entertainment Weekly, they say "there's no way to encapsulate the bigness of heart with which Nurse Betty expands to embrace creation." Reading all these good reviews had me excited to go see the movie, only to let me down. The story line was horrible and I was wondering if the critics saw the same movie I saw. The movie starts out in Kansas City with Betty (Renne Zellweger) who works in a luncheonette as a waitress. She is a huge fan of the soap opera "A Reason to Love", especially one male doctor in the soap Dr. David Ravell (Greg Kenner). She is also married to a cheating, drug dealing husband named Del. Betty is at home one night and her husband is talking to two thugs (Chris Rock and Morgan Fe
edman) who were involved in the drug dealing with Del. She witnesses them scalping and shooting him dead while she was watch her soap opera. Betty goes insane, suffering from post traumatic stress and thinking that she used to be engaged to her favorite actor Dr. David Ravell and decides to travel all the way to Southern California to find him. So she goes there and finally tracks him down with some help form a friend, she meet when she got to California. After sitting through this whole movie it took me a while to think it through and find out what this movie was about. I think that it took me longer to figure out what the movie was about then the running time of the movie. But after thinking about it for a while a couple of things came to mind, but the most obvious is that u shouldn't assume a person's personality on just watching them but by getting to know them. I came to this cause everyone in the movie was falling in love with each other just by visual attraction, I believe it had many other little themes but this is the one that stood out the most. This theme is perfect with the movie, bad movie and bad theme. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now we come to the "look" of the movie. When it comes to this I like to talk about the set, costumes, and the editing of the movie. The "look" of Nurse Betty was mediocre. Lynette Meyer who did the costume design on the movie really didn't have a tuff time doing her job. The outfits in the movie were all basic costumes. There were no exotic costumes used or needed in the movie. Steven Weisberg and Joel Plotch did the editing in Nurse Betty and they did a good job. These two did what they had to do to make this movie better. What they should have done is edited the script. I liked the setting of the movie, where it took place was interesting. In the movie, they traveled so the setting was constantly changing which helped keep my interest in the movie. The lighting in the movie was really good too, there was no problem seeing what was going on. This made it a lot easier to get through the movie. Really it wa
