What's The Big Deal?

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2001)

This movie is nominated for what?? It's not a boring film but not particularly exciting. It plods along telling the story of a foul-mouthed, down on her luck, former beauty queen, mother of three who gets a job at a law firm and discovers Pacific Gas & Electric is allegedly poisoning people. Big Lawsuit!! Big Hero!! But what surprised me is Roberts is nominated for an Oscar. Her role is the usual Roberts stuff...cute, sympathetic, cries a couple of times and out. I thought Albert Finney's role was much better. The movie on a whole is the usual good guys get the bad ol' factory people. Where's the talent?
