Fetal Film Report - Nurse Betty
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
I have seen so many lousy movies of late, from "Coyote Ugly" and "Bless the Child" to "Autumn in New York," that I can't believe the real thing finally has arrived in the form of "Nurse Betty." Bless the fall films.
"Nurse Betty" is an offbeat comedy ...read the complete Nurse Betty movie review at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The UK Critic (Ian Waldron-Mantgani)
It's hard to believe that a great director of cruel satire could make such an insipid Hollywood comedy as this -- if anyone else had made it in exactly the same way, it would be easier to spot it for the Idiot Plot it really is.

The summer of 00' wasn't a very good one for devout cinephiles. It offered no BLAIR WITCHES or SIXTH SENSES; the best big budget Hollywood could do was an efficient XMEN adaptation and a flawed but entertaining SHAFT update. NURSE BETTY signals the ...read the complete Nurse Betty movie review at Ron Small
