Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Claudio Carvalho The food writers Jane (Kathy Bates) and Michael Stern (Robin Thomas) have been married for thirty-three years, they love each other, but Jane is feeling insecure, depressed and with phobia, while Michael has been sober for three years. Jane decides to change her life getting her fears out of her head, and is encouraged by Michael to join the training of E.M.T. in the Grafton Volunteer Fire Department. Nobody believes in the clumsy Jane, but she concludes the training period and applies to the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and gets her certificate. She begins to work to Grafton Volunteer Fire Department, affecting her personal life and the long relationship with Michael."Ambulance Girl" is a nice movie with a great message and a fantastic performance of Kathy Bates. The story is well-balanced between comedy and drama, showing that we should resolve our innermost problems because "Fear is like a hologram. It seems real, filled with substance. And then, when you go beyond it, you realize it is just an illusion." My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Ambulance Girl"

magicofmovies This movie really spoke to me about fear and change and how they can affect our lives. There is a classic line in the movie about fear. I have quoted it, not word for word, on various occasions. "Fear is like a hologram. It seems full of substance and depth until you move through it and discover it is an illusion." What a line! The entire movie was about changing and redefining and adding dimensions to life in spite of fear. Kathy Bates was a perfect person to put in that part because she is easy to relate to as an everyday ordinary person who wants to feel needed and validated. The comedy and human drama was just the right mix without being slapstick or maudlin. Kathy and Robin do a great job convincing us of the love and fear in their relationship. Watching them grow and discover themselves was really a treat.

Patricia Looweedjiccabumpski I have always felt that when Kathy Bates appears on screen, the whole medium lights up. She has the Midas touch in films. "Ambulance Girl" may not be the most serious subject matter in the world, it tries to cross genres and be both serious and funny, but it works and I went with the funny. Kathy has a scene where she's trying on Ebay-purchased EMT gear, wreathed in delight, and dancing to James Brown music, I think it was. HILARIOUS! She must be quite a person to know up close and personal. I liked the fact that, for once, weight was not an issue. How refreshing, how free! Kathy looks adorable in her flannel pajamas, her robe and slippers, even in her supposedly serious bout with anxiety attacks and depression. I loved seeing her slumped on the couch, falling off absentmindedly! Also enjoyable was her self-help on the airliner when, afflicted with a numbing panic attack, she escaped her own symptoms by coming to the aid of a young diabetic passenger who had hit a low and who needed Kathy's sugar fix. I could watch Kathy Bates forever, just going through a normal day and doing what she does. It is a tribute to her magnetism that so many others feel this way, too. May her future hold many more roles, both funny and powerful. She is a great dramatic actress. Her range has never been fully explored in the cinema. Let us see what more she can do - and do magnificently! More Oscars for Kathy!

Rose18882 I really enjoyed this quirky show. I hope that it stays on the air, Kathy Bates is such a great actress. I really enjoyed the hunky Robin Thomas as her husband too. Thanks for such a great show!!Parts of the show were a bit predictable, but being in the medical field myself, I could relate to some of the story lines.We need more shows on TV like this one, she was a bit sarcastic and very realistic to the part.The man that plays her mentor as an EMT was a very good actor also, I don't know his name off-hand, but he was good.Please keep this show on, since my favorite Judging Amy has been cancelled, I have been looking for a new show to follow!!
