Summary: Really Enjoyable
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. I think it's the first time I've ever heard Julia Roberts swear like a truck driver! A nice fresh break from her goody-goody image. Erin Brokavich...a divorced mother of three, badly in need of a job - gets slammed into by a doctor while driving her crappy car. She gets a lawyer - gos to court & loses (due to her attitude & language on the stand). So she eventually gets a job at her lawyers law firm as a secretary or something. Ends up finding something odd in one of the files & gets permission to check it out. Then this movie embroils upon a legal action against PG&E - for making a whole town sick. It also a wonderful movie showing the lenghts a mother will go to for her children. Very enjoyable movie based on a true story. DVD is loaded with deleted scenes and other stuff. Definately one to add to your collection.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: This is a great movie-- in a nutshell. it explores the life of a young single woman burdened by three little kids, and this transformation thing that she undergoes while helping others. Anyone who says this story, this movie is not personal doesn't have the slightest idea what "personal" is. though the language is a bit (ok, *very*) crude, it is down-to-earth, something which i find refreshing. It's also funny. Just... buy this movie, okay? It's kicky, fresh, down- to- earth, and moving. What could be bettter?

Summary: Pollution vs. Personality
Review: "Erin Brockovich" is a satisfying, uplifting movie that could have come off preachy or maudlin if the director hadn't made the personality of Erin and her interactions with coworkers and clients the focus of the piece. This is Julia Roberts at her best -- and I'm far from a JR fan. In fact her performance is worth an oscar. I hope she has an opportunity to play more brassy broads with character, instead of the sensitive vulnerable roles she usually gets. All the characters are well-cast. The movie invites/demands comparison to "Silkwood" and "A Civil Action" and it comes off looking better than both. "Silkwood" was preachy and self-righteous. While "Action" was one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read, it was too complex for a good movie. "Erin" corrects the shortcomings of both. Well worth the time it takes to watch it.

Summary: Very Entertaining! Julia Shines
Review: ERIN BROCKOVICH * * * Julia Roberts proves once again that she's worth every penny of her out of sight salary. Her charisma and rapport with costar Albert Finney lift a familiar and mostly routine storyline into great entertainment. Those outfits dont hurt, either.

Summary: Roberts Stars; Finney Gives Able Support
Review: Julia Roberts certainly made this film her own in the title role, but Albert Finney should not be overlooked in his excellent supporting role as Ed Masry. Interestingly, while the film centers on a major lawsuit, there are no courtroom scenes presented in connection with it. All of that is carried out through interpersonal relations, and carried out well, indeed. For me, that was a refreshing touch. As a federal judge, I appreciate not having to take a bussman's holiday. Plus, I often have problems with courtroom scenes, and not infrequently find myself shouting at the screen, "Object you dummy, he's leading the witness!" Instead, this film, through the Julia Roberts character, presents the very human side of this legal controversy, which, unfortunately, may sometimes be missed by those of us on the other side of the bench. Score this film very high on the "feel-good" scale.

Summary: Entertaining, but....
Review: Knowing this movie is based on a true story, we know not to expect any amazing plot twists or exciting special effects. Because of that, we are left with a story than we know the ending to, so this movie must be judged on how well it tells the story. I think it does a pretty good job. Julia Roberts and Finney do a good job in leading the talented cast. The characters are all believable. The movie is entertaining, but for a long movie it offers very few emotional peaks and valleys. I found myself interested in what was happening and eager to find out how Julia & Co. would win in the end. And when the movie did end, I realized I had seen nothing exceptional or new, just the retelling of a good story.

Summary: Julia Roberts gives her 110% again!
Review: I loved this movie. Not only for the meanings behind it, but also for the great cast. Julia Roberts did it again! She is a phenomenal actress. I have seen every movie she has been in.

Summary: True Life Drama Highlighted by Julia Roberts
Review: Based on a true story, Erin Brockovich recounts the challenges of Erin and a law firm in bringing a multi-billion dollar company to justice. A major sub-plot of the story is the challenging life of Erin herself, who has 3 kids, no husband and difficulties finding work. This movie features great perfomances, is well-directed and very well scripted. But what makes this a blockbuster and not just another great drama is Julia Roberts. Julia is undeniably the most successful female actress in the history of motion pictures and this movie shows why. Whether in court with a neck brace on, meeting with chromium victims, or fighting with her coworkers, Julia exudes charisma. When she's angry, we feel her anger; when she smiles, we smile with her; and oh when those eyes get teary... The role of Erin gives Julia ample opportunity to do all this.
