Betty delivering the no-look coffee pour. Nice!.

Shawn

After the traumatic event of watching two hit-men do away with Betty's husband while she is watching her favorite television soap-opera, she is somehow transformed into a character from the soap. She is transformed from Betty, the boring coffee shop waitress, to Nurse Betty, pursuing her ex-fiancé David (Greg Kinnear)-- straight from the soap opera storyline. The problem with this is that while she thinks this imaginary life of hers is real, everyone else knows that it is a soap opera. She then makes the trip from Kansas to California to re-unite with her lost love. Great performances by all the actors, and quirky likeable characters really make this movie enjoyable. Zellweger is super-cute as the soap-opera crazy. Freeman as the smart, sensitive, and caring hit-man contrasted to the overly-violent Chris Rock make for great comedic situations. The real treat of this movie is the characters. Unpredictable, funny, complex, this movie's great.
