    East to watch feel good film, Finney is likable as always and Roberts is likable for a change. Steven Soderbergh is a real hit and miss director as far as I'm concerned, this is one of his hits.

    "She brought a small town to its feet and a huge corporation to its knees."

    Erin Brockovich essentially combines two movies. The first being about a single mother of three struggling to support her kids in a materialistic country. The second about said single mother transcending stereotypes by discovering and investigating a cover up by a large utility about the damage that their plant has caused local residents. The great achievement that director Steven Soderbergh makes is to combine these two elements seamlessly. Julia Roberts is in superb form in the titular role and her co-star, veteran Albert Finney, turns in an excellent performance. Good support comes from Aaron Eckhart as Erin's main squeeze, George and Marg Helgenberger as Donna Jensen, the woman whose Real Estate claim starts the whole thing off. The screenplay by Susannah Grant provides Roberts with lots of snappy one-liners, which I'm not quite sure the real Erin Brockovich said. But hey, it makes for more fun in the movie. I defy you to go see Erin Brockovich and leave without a smile on your face.

    Ed Masry: "What makes you think you can just walk in there and take whatever you want?
    Erin Brockovich: They're called boobs, Ed."


    Erin Brockovich is the true story of a single mother of three who through fate and timing turned herself into a toxic investigator supreme. Br...( read more)ockovich (Julia Roberts), along with her boss, attorney Ed Masry (Albert Finney), took on a huge corporation that was poisoning a small California town's drinking water and won. Unlike the single mothers in some recent movies who have trouble with men and lack focus, Erin is very different. She dresses on the borderline of what many will consider trashy on the high end and a prostitute on the low end. While this plays to what is real, Hollywood takes the edge off of this story to a degree by using sex, and Julia Robert's looks and charm to interject humor into a very serious story. Erin is quick witted and knows how to handle herself; you admire her mind, as she is clearly as smart as any of the lawyers. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Erin Brockovich tells a familiar David vs Goliath story, but it's the characters and the performances that really make this movie stand out. Roberts, of course, essentially steals the spotlight from everyone else - she's in virtually ever scene - but she's very good here. She's taken her ingratiating persona and flipped it. She's still ingratiating, but now she's using it to her advantage. Albert Finney, her boss, is astonishingly good. The kind of stand-up-and-cheer movie Hollywood is supposed to have forgotten how to make.

    I've always thought Julia Roberts can act so that was no surprise. People give her a bad rap because she is so pretty and happy all the time. But it really shouldn't be a surprise that pretty happy people with big teeth can act too. As far as the movie, it was good but wasn't ...( read more)as triumphant as it could have been. It kinda just fizzles out by the end.

    I liked the concept of the film and I like Julia too but somewhere I think it could have been showen in a very different and brilliant manner.

    Theresa Dallavale: Okay, look, I think we got off on the wrong foot here...
    Erin Brockovich: That's all you got, lady. Two wrong feet in fucking ugly shoes.
