The premise intrigued me, so I indulged this "film" when it became available at a cheap price point on DVD. I now realise that sometimes there is no price point cheap enough for a film and Nurse Betty is one of those films. Oh, don't get me wrong - I am not knocking the actors who mostly did a fair fist of things overall but they really were not given anything much to work with here. This just drags, big time. Not remotely funny, just appallingly pathetic mostly with some odd casting choices. Not the least of those being Chris Rock, whose seeming inability to actually act and provide any sort of characterization other than his loud mouth schtick really is getting quite tiresome, and really drags the film down even further. Morgan Freeman is a great actor but deserves better than this. Overall a waste of time that might have got 5/10 if Chris Rock was not cast but as it is barely gets 4/10. Eminently avoidable.
