Summary: Not as good as I thought but was funnier then I thought.
Review: I loved this movie. The only thing was with the raving reviews it was getting I expected more. But Julia was grate in this movie this is my favorite movie that she has been in besides Pretty Woman. But she shows a little more in this then she did in that it is hard to belive. But this movie was funny but it was also sad but it was funnier then I thought it would be I thought more or less it would be a drama and it is both. That is what makes it such a good movie. This is a must see it is worth your money.

Summary: It was OK, I guess.
Review: Supposed to be based on a true story, but in actuality it merely shows the premise that it's OK to flash cleavage and have a Barbie-doll figure to get ahead in the world. Erin was a single parent on welfare(this smacks of too much PC for my liking) who took on the corporate society when a village's children were poisoned from a nearby chemical water treatment works. The courtroom scenes are second-rate John Grisham reworks. But the appearance of Albert Finney as her harried solicitor boss, and a perfectly hypocritical ending(she harped on about her principles but shut up when two million dollars was handed to her) which to me shows the American national sport of suing one another and just being plain selfish and greedy makes it pretty interesting and cynical stuff indeed. Not one I'd see again, but it was not a turkey either. Worth a look.

Summary: Serious and sexy - a perfect combination
Review: I enjoyed this movie tremendously. I laughed. I cried. Felt sympathy for the victims. Hated the bad guys. And, most of all found Julia Roberts and her provocative outfits were fun to look at. Yes. It was a bit of a distraction because in spite of a good story, her wardrobe became, in effect, a character in itself which demanded attention.The movie had a lot of things all rolled into one. It was a serious movie about people whose lives had been ruined because of pollution. It was a movie which celebrated the spirit of an individual who takes on a corporation. And it was sexy. I couldn't help compare this movie to "A Civil Action" in which the twists and turns and complex legal details of a similar lawsuit were explored at length. I remember that movie being very long and dull. I don't think it did well at the box office. There is nothing dull about Erin Brockovich though. And will surely make a lot of money. And if people go to see the movie to get an eyeful of Julia Roberts, they will surprisingly see a good and inspiring story. Erin Brockovich isn't perfect. Sometimes it plays like an overblown soap opera. But it's sure to hold your attention. If only to see Julia Roberts' outfits.

Review: Tiis movie showed that no matter who that you are you should hold your head high.Erin's personality showed that if you respect everyone people will respect you in return.Erin also showed that by having love, compassion, and a strong will you can touch others in a way that never seemed possible. In addition, by being true to herself and her clientsshe succeeded.

Summary: A Morale Booster!
Review: I still feel great after seeing ERIN BROKOVICH yesterday. Without a doubt, Julia Roberts is a leading lady today, who lived the part of the most outspoken woman who called a spade a spade, but who was extremely intelligent with a strong love, and compassion for the people she was lobbying for in Hinckley. ERIN BROVOCICH knew who she was right from the start even when she was broke and desperate. She was a shrewd lady who knew how to effectively use what she was physically well endowed with in order to obtain the information she needed on the chromium problem without performing any sexual contact favors with any person or persons. I could truly identify with ERIN because most times I too have negative attitudes toward the utter hypocracy of the way that most on the executive rung treat their subordinates. Of course, if I were to try and become so verbal with my attitudes toward the condescending attitudes of the higher-ups, I would quickly be escorted out the door, and off the premises. I particularly liked the scene where she read that female associate down who said to ERIN "Well, we had to go through the files, because there may be some questions that you would not have known enough to ask", and of course, ERIN replied "Do not talk to me like I am some kind of an idiot!" Go for it all the ERIN BROVOTICHES out there, you are just as smart, perhaps even smarter than the ones with some fancy law degree or some super MBA degree from some ivy league college because if you are not ready to fight your just cause in this system, which in the vernacular, sucks, it will devour you. Therefore any film that can have such an impact on the viewer is well worth seeing atleast once. Thank you Julia Roberts, you have never let down any of your viewers in all the diverse roles you have played over the years.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This is the best movie I have ever seen! The acting was fantastic! This is the best Julia Roberts movie yet! And the fact that the real erin brokovich was in it was also pretty wierd. Almost every actor in that movie deserves a nominee at the least! But Julia Roberts should just plainly get an Academy Award!

Summary: Good film, but bad history
Review: Probably Julia Roberts' best performance todate; pity it's in yet another piece of Hollywood rewriting of reality. The suit was based on junk science, pure and simple. The years since the settlement have produced plenty of evidence that the trace elements of anticorrosion agent found in the soil had ZERO effect on the population- despite being blamed for scores of ills. What was this case really about? Money. The settlement was $333 million. Of that, the lawyers got over one third, or about $132 million. Brockovitch got $2 million. There's your hero.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Julia Roberts deserves an Oscar for this one. This was an excellent movie. It is based on the true story of a woman named Erin Brockovich. Erin is a twice divorced mother of three with no money. While out job hunting one day, she gets into a car accident and ends up with surgery and a neck brace. Since she had no insurance, she found herself being $17,000 in debt. After losing the case in court because of swearing on the stand, she ends up working for the lawyer who represented her by practically demanding a job from him. There are some hilarious scenes here. Part of what was humorous about this film was Erin herself. She dresses very provocatively and thinks nothing of using foul language in the office. Most people would be fired in a minute if they acted this way, but somehow, Erin gets away with it. Her boss and co-workers often don't know what to make of her. On top of that, the audience loves her. You can see that underneath the tough exterior is a good, kind person who truly cares about the people she's trying to help. She starts doing some research on her own in the town of Hinkley, California when she sees health problems in some files at the office. She interviewed so many different families with everything from cancer to severe nose bleeds. It turned out that Pacific Gas & Electric had poisoned the town's water supply by not taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening. Erin has tremendous warmth and the people of Hinkley come to love and trust her. The movie also shows the major sacrifices she made by having to work such long hours on this case. Her relationship with her children suffered a lot at that time, but in the end, it was all worth it.

Summary: Julia should do more roles like this
Review: She's great in the romantic comedies ("Best Friend's Wedding", "Runaway Bride"), but I prefer to see her in films like this and "Conspiracy Theory" and "Sleeping With the Enemy". She has a good time with Erin's 'tude and her costumes. The film only lacks a little of the "Silkwood" endangerment, but I guess it didn't happen that way.

Summary: I'd See It Again
Review: It may be simple, but I gauge a movie with the question: "Would I stand in line, pay my money, and sit through this movie again?" For "Erin Brockovitch" the answer is YES! Not only do I like Julia Roberts in this movie, but Albert Finney plays the perfect lawyer/challenge to Julia's character. You know the ending has to be positive, but how you get there has enough twists and turns to keep your attention from beginning to end. Stubborn is one word to describe Erin Brockovitch and it doesn't get boring. A must see movie that "I'd see it again."
