Product Description

Based on the memoirs of Jane Stern. Oscar winner Kathy Bates stars as Stern, a food writer riddled with crippling anxieties and phobias, who is able to overcome what plagues her by becoming a volunteer EMT. Ambulance Girl is an inspiring story about a woman who found, somewhat late in life, that in helping others I learned to help myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars EMT Preview, January 27, 2007

By	Dale Lash "EMT-B" (Mauston, WI USA) - See all my reviews

I'm a 45 year old male who is currently recertifying as an EMT. I read Jane's book of the same title and then later found the movie. I must admit, as a guy, this movie was a little sappy and made for the woman viewer, but I admit I liked it. If anything it's something to watch with the members of your family that don't have any idea what drives someone to become an EMT and the possible problems it can cause in family relationships. Overall I find this a great movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good comedy, February 3, 2007

By	Chrissy K. McVay "Writer" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

Kathy Bates stars and directs in this hilarious story about a successful woman hitting her mid-life crisis. Paranoid of just about everything, Jane is a celebrity food writer who makes the most bizarre career change choice by becoming a volunteer ambulance driver. She bumbles down this new path while struggling to save her floundering marriage. This movie speaks to the hearts of anyone who has hit a rough patch in their lives, and or marriages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Flick, March 25, 2008

By	L. Chick (Folsom, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally saw this movie on the Lifetime network. This is a good story with a good message. Kathleen Bates is superb. The acting was credible, the filming and editing were perfectly balanced. This has the potential to be a 'chick flick', however I think it has universal appeal.
