if i would only see the poster for nurse betty and i probably wouldn not have touch it with a ten foot pole . but after i hear some positive buzz and and know it make some noise at cannes and i decide to give it a try . what i get be a truly enjoyable movie and base on a very entertaining plot . rene zelleweger be impressive in her role a nurse betty and a woman who be send into a delusional psychotic episode follow a traumatic experience . i also like morgan freeman ( no surprise ) and be pleasantly surprise by foul mouth comedian chris rock . the film bounce continuously between comedy and drama and romance and and thriller . yet despite this apparent identity crisis and it hold up quite well . i find my eye glue to the screen from begin to end always wait for the next twist in the story . the entire cast be strong and if not spectacular . my only real complaint be that director neil labute ( who make a splash a few year ago with the very impressive and dark in the company of men ) rely much too heavily on many cliched hollywood convention . the mood create musical effect he cram down our throat during each sentimental scene be unbearable . and he do the standard old let take some of the minor character and pair them up at the end in an illogical and unnecessary romance trick and just to make absolutely certain everyone go home with a smile on their face . why must director and writer treat their audience like idiot . but the movie be still much too enjoyable to be drag down very far by these annoy irritation . in a very subpar year for movie and nurse betty rank a one of the more pleasant surprise of 2000. positive .
