Plot:
A Kansas City waitress (Renee Zellweger) with dreams of becoming a nurse becomes delusional after seeing her no-good car salesman husband (Aaron Eckhart) murdered. Becoming delusional from shock, she becomes convinced that she is the former fiancee of her soap opera idol (Greg Kinnear). What she also believes is that the soap opera is real and goes to LA to find the hospital where he works as a cardiologist. Meanwhile, her husband's murderers (Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock) are searching for the drugs stolen by her husband and, as luck would have it, they are stored in the trunk of the car she drove off in. Freeman, an aging hitman planning his retirement after this job, also becomes delusional about the woman he is tracking. IMDB

Review:
I used to like this movie. But now I don't like it so much.

Renée Zellweger just scares me now with the anorexia and she looks like a freak, so I think she is slightly psycho.

And the crazy in-love obsession that Morgan Freeman's character has with Betty is scary, freaky, and annoying.

So, if it is on, watch it, but not something to go out of your way for. It is shown on Swedish TV ALL THE TIME.. which also makes the movie more annoying.
