    A wonderfully twisted comedy.

    This delightful and compassionate romp achieves precisely that rare quality -- grace -- that sets Betty apart from the pack.

    Betty sustains her character, the movie fails to maintain its own.

    LaBute is some kind of find: an auteur for people who don't like movies.

    Surprisingly good. A story of a delusioned, not especially intellectual woman going on a search for her favorite doctor who she loves. She ofcourse doesn`t know that he is just an actor. The story is funny, with Betty getting in all kinds of trouble. The villains are sleek, clever and trace her every step right into the final. This is one of those average movies which is taken into above-average level by a wonderful cast. All of the acting : Morgan Freeman, Rene Zellweger, Chris Rock, Aaron Eckhart and Greg Kinnear showed excelled performance , creating believable and likable characters. You would think you quit watching the film after 20minutes (naaaah), but you suddenly notice you watched the whole thing with a smile on your face all the time, and enjoyed it. Everything else in this movie is average.… Expand

    I don't know that we needed to actually SEE Chris Rock... [Spoiler Deleted]. And it is aimless and unfocused. But. It's also funny, touching and oddly compelling, and it's got good performances from Zellweger, Freeman and Rock. Plus, Alison "5'11 My Jim Royle" Janney is in it. So it can't be bad.… Expand

    I think this movie tried to appeal to too many different "tastes". A clever plot line which just fell flat. I kept waiting and waiting to see what the climax of the movie would deliver and, like a Domino's delivery boy with a flat tire, just didn't deliver at all. Renee was likeable and true to typecast (at the time), but couldn't save this dud.… Expand
