- After witnessing her husband's (Aaron Eckhart) death by a team of father-son hired assassins (Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock), waitress Betty (Renée Zellweger) takes to the road following the dream of meeting her favorite soap opera star, Dr. David Ravell (Greg Kinnear), in the hopes that he will fall for her. As she travels, the post-traumatic stress causes her to believe that the soap star is a real doctor and her ex-fiancé. What she doesn't know is... the hitmen are after her next.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Its uneven comedy may leave moviegoers yearning for the confidently choreographed banter and moral sludge that marked LaBute's previous outings."
-
"It's lively, edgy, full of zigs and zags, juicy performances, and offbeat fun"
-
"This oddly cheerful, decreasingly dark comedy actually works and can boast some of the most enjoyable performances of the year."
-
"One of those films where you don't know whether to laugh or cringe, and find yourself doing both"
