A kooky paranoid actress (Pollack), feeling out of place in her life and career, disappears in the midst of filming a $70 million dollar movie, and begins a journey down the bricky road of self rediscovery. On her trail is her therapist/manager (Taylor), who flies between being bubbles and glitter supportive and evil mean wicked and nasty dictatorial. As she winds her way through the forest of self re-evaluation, she teams up with three unusual individuals (Gregory, O"Donahue, Perlman) who, in teaching her the tricks of their trades, re-awaken her faith in her own brain, heart and courage, and remind her that she knows where her home is...and there's no place like it. This is a quirky comedy with a unique style, some fantastic double meaning dialogue, and good performances. If you're looking for a different kind of laugh, with cereal filled swimming pools, topical muscle relaxants and bad golf, along with a touch of dreams, follow "Betty." Ron Perlman has the supporting role of a smooth talking, Southern gentleman, door-to-door analgesic salesman. With his crisp suit, wonderfully accented voice and slow drawl, he turns in a lovely sparkling performance. Favorite Line(s): "Evel
Knievel, he was my hero. He helped me through my childhood. I saw him
break his back four times!" Availability: DVD. Suggest: Amazon.com. I have bought from Amazon for years, both new and used, and have had no problems. Please make sure that the DVD is compatible with your region/country. Worth a rent/buy used. By Tressa Lee Breen
