Disadvantages: can't think of any

You probably know someone like Betty. Her marriage isn't happy. Her husband is a heartless and insensitive car salesman, (aren't they all?). She hates her dull job as a waitress. But once a day, Betty escapes the pretty grim reality of her life by tuning in to her favourite hospital soap and dreaming romatically about the handsome Dr David Ravell, the show's heart-throb.

Her life is suddenly turned upside down when hubby gets on the wrong side of a couple of very angry hitmen, when his shady drug deal goes pear-shaped. Leading to his sudden unexpected and violent demise.

Betty decides to escape from reality on a full-time basis and, faithful to the great American tradition, chucks her bags in the car and heads cross-country to Los Angeles. You've got it, Betty goes looking for the man of her dreams, soap surgeon-in-chief, Ravell. But is the actor who plays him ready to meet his number 1 fan?

This is a great black comedy. Go and see it.
