Errors in geography: Between seeing the sign for the Grand Canyon and arriving there after dark, Charlie and Wesley are briefly shown driving in Arches National Park. This is a couple hundred miles northeast in Utah, and can be identified by the Three Gossips on the left side of the road, and the Courthouse Towers on the left. moreSoundtrack:

"Nurse Betty" is a little hard to classify. Telling the story of mentally unstable waitress Betty Sizemore (Renee Zellweger), who leaves her Midwestern town for LA, hoping to meet a soap opera character (Greg Kinnear, and I do mean that she wants to meet the character, not the actor), the movie seems to be several different types of movies all in one. While Betty is mousy and resigned, there's also two men chasing her: hard-ass Charlie (Morgan Freeman) and goofy Wesley (Chris Rock). Naturally, there's the obvious fact that these two aren't exactly compatible, but that might bring up the question of how much that relates to the actual plot line.
The truth is, I don't know whether or not they were trying to make any kind of point with this movie. Maybe it was about the trouble that some people have distinguishing reality from fiction, or perhaps they just made it for fun. I'm not sure. But I thought that it was worth seeing. I have to admit that I haven't seen any of Neil LaBute's other movies. Fairly interesting. Also starring Aaron Eckhart, Crispin Glover and Allison Janney.
