Renee Zellweger is Betty from Kansas, the Dorothy, of this unusually warm and cohesive movie from the hetherto morbid Neil LeBute. Betty lives in her own sweet world which is shaken when a horrible accident (storm) takes her away like in a dream to LA (Oz). Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock, hopelessly miscast, are the gunmen chasing her.

Betty is nice yet discomforting -- pretty much like the movie.

Renee Zellweger would have been much better had she not reminded you so avidly of Melanie Griffith.
