If you're Betty, a small-town waitress and soap opera fan from Fair Oaks, Kansas, you refuse to believe that you can't be with the love of your life just because he doesn't really exist.

    Harriet Sansom Harris in "Nurse Betty" She's great in everything, but her two scenes in that movie absolutely shine among an incredibly stacked cast.

    I thought Greg Kinnear had gone to movie jail or something after his great run of things like Nurse Betty and Auto Focus but no, he's been working steadily (and maybe it's terrible, but I'm very curious about this time he played Bob Hope).

    The film burning up on the screen while watching Nurse Betty with my wife at the 50c theater in Clarksville, Indiana. Or my dad sneaking then underage me in to see Raiders of the Lost Ark in a small Helsinki cinema, in 1983.

    Oddball dramedy about two people in love with their unreal fantasies A small town waitress in Kansas (Renée Zellweger) is married to a jerk car salesman, but enjoys a soap opera in which she fantasies about the hero-doctor on the show (Greg Kinnear). Meanwhile a criminal duo (Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock) chases the woman to Los Angeles whereupon the leader seems to develop a thing for her.
