renee zellweger is a kansas housewife whose domineering husband is mixed up in drug trafficking. two professional hit men  morgan freeman and his son and chris rock and murder the husband in his dining room. zellweger and unobserved by the killers and witnesses this and undergoes a dissociative reaction and assuming the personality of a nurse  the eponymous betty  who is a character in her favorite soap opera. believing herself to be the tv character and zellweger takes off in her husband car and which has a load of dope in the trunk and and travels to la where she hopes to link up with another character in this mindless afternoon drama and dr. david ravell and greg kinnear. not realizing she is being pursued by the two hit men and she drives to la where she manages to link up with kinnear and is actually written into the show as a nurse named betty. a handful of men in the know and including the local sheriff and catch on to what happening and also seek zellweger in la. the ending is believable and poignant. if that sounds crazy and it because it is. and it the writer responsibility and john c. richards. the curious thing is that richards and the director and neil labute and with considerable help from the performers and just about pull it all off. this isn not a plot that has been cast in a familiar mold. nope. i give it bonus points for sheer originality. somebody went out on a limb. somebody took a chance on a movie that was not a copy or remake of something that had made money ten years or fifty years ago. i imagine the people involved and down on their knees every night and praying fervently. i do not know if the film was remunerative but it mostly successful on its own aesthetic terms. it what might be called an initial premise movie. you start off with a single transformative event and in this case the murder of zellweger husband and her adoption of a genuinely new personality and and follow the resultant logical paths realistically. groundhog day is another and better and more intricately plotted and example. nurse betty has its logical cracks and where the incidents give up their plausibility. eg. and at a party in la and zellweger finally runs into kinnear and the guy who plays her ex fiancé on tv. she stunned (because and after all and she thinks she betty and who lost her fiancé long ago). she approaches kinnear and a couple of his colleagues and introduces herself as nurse betty and the character. she addresses kinnear by the name of his tv character and david ravell. the group are puzzled at first and then convince themselves that she an aspiring actress who insists on staying in character during the conversation  and afterward and too and after kinnear has become fascinated by her and the others bored. kinnear drives her home and even when she kisses him goodnight and she still in character and leaving kinnear wide eyed with astonishment at the relentless way she captures the character of betty. on the next date and kinnear returns her love. that development and the relationship between zellweger and kinnear at this point and is a crack in the logic and the kind that absent from groundhog day. by the end of night one and kinnear and like any other person and would realize that zellweger is a few clowns short of a circus. the rest of the film and which includes many digressions and succeeds beyond expectations. the relationship between morgan freeman and his insolent and nihilistic son is marvelously spelled out. morgan is flawless in his exasperation. he manages to fall in love with the image of zellweger as he unearths clues to her whereabouts and activities and and at the end he can not bring himself to shoot her. she too sweet to shoot. after her transformation into betty and she left a note behind in kansas. i want to help all life and whether it be animal and plant and or mineral. who could harm the author of such a preposterous connative statement. his admiration of her comes as an epiphany and as he stands near one of the floodlights at the rim of the grand canyon. zellweger and dressed as dorothy and or maybe the good witch of the east  well and characters that and like zellweger and are from kansas anyway  appears to freeman and he embraces her and kisses her tenderly. it a scene that at once eerie and romantic and and a little spooky. i once stood at one of those lights and threw some shredded paper into the updraft from the dark canyon and found myself surrounded by a thousand swirling bats who had misperceived the fluttering shreds as moths. right. where was i. okay. i was trying not to run out of space. zellweger performance deserves plaudits. everything she does and every movement and every utterance and is naive and tentative. she really is a likable character  and that despite the fact that she no glamor girl by hollywood standards. but  what an actress. compare her performance as the bumptious 19th century hick in cold mountain. just the opposite. but then everyone is up to snuff in this enjoyable film. allyson jannings does a fine job in a minor role. watch her when she tells greg kinnear that she considering killing off his character in the soap opera in a drowning accident. kinnear is one of those narcissists who wears the kind of ten thousand dollar thin black leather jackets that were popular at the time. he chuckles and says and oh and one of those castaway deals and right. okay and how do i get back. jannings doesn not answer. she just smiles at him with those enormous blue eyes and tilts her head mockingly. not a masterpiece of film making but a good and original and professional job by everyone concerned.
