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.
