Nurse Betty (2000)
by lemon_lime, Jan 21, 2003

Nurse! Help! I Think I Broke My Funny Bone!
by Candice923, Sep 2, 2001
Pros: It's a cute premise; Chris Rock isn't his obnoxious self
Cons: What was Morgan Freeman thinking???
The Bottom Line: Sorry, but it's just not my thing. It's a little too far-fetched for me.

Nurse Betty--Then Nurse My Conscience
by glacier, Jul 29, 2001
Pros: Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Chris Rock, in that order
Cons: Dark, violent humor has serious social implications we should consider
The Bottom Line: Nurse Betty is plagued with dark humor and riddled with violence.
Review: This is a film of dark humor that is not for everyone. If you liked Pulp Fiction, chances are you w ...

Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain
by MrsNormanMaine, Jul 27, 2001
Pros: A first rate cast of fine performers.
Cons: Neil LaBute needs to stick to tortured dramas.
The Bottom Line: Neil LaBute's attempt at quirky road movie comedy has interesting ideas, a stellar cast, and falls apart in the final twenty minutes when it enters Pulp Fiction territory.
Review: I've been very busy on the set of Flying Down To Reno , the musical remake of Airport '75</ ...

Nurse Boring
by sadida, Jul 21, 2001
Pros: Freeman is good as usual, lots of interesting scene locations
Cons: The first half is poorly paced and left me waiting for something to happen
The Bottom Line: Original story but poorly executed. Good acting all around (other than Rock) but the script just wasn't anything to work with apparently.
Review: I was excited to see this movie. I enjoy watching Zellweger on screen and Morgan Freeman is one of ...

Rent it only if desperate.
by lilyanne, Jun 3, 2001
Pros: Bearable to watch. Good performance by Zellweger.
Cons: Supposed to be a comedy??
The Bottom Line: Be forwarned that it's not very funny. Zellweger gives a great performance. Freeman does the best with what he's given. Rock's style is completely out of place in this movie.
Review: First I'll start by saying that with regard to movies, my standards are not so high that if the movi ...
