Do they teach beauty queens to apologize? Because you suck at it!

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2007)

Sure everyone talks about this film as probably the best of Julia Robert's stellar career (We'll forget Hook and Mary Reilly ). She won an Oscar and an armload of other awards in her role as a mom struggling to overcome her trailer park background and put food in the mouths of her babes. It was a superior strong woman role and she was a real pleasure to watch, as she always is.
Traffic and Sex, Lies and Videope director Steven Soderbergh put together another beauty of a show for our enjoyment. He also has an armload of awards.
But, the real star of this film is Ed Masry played brilliantly by Albert Finney (Amazing Grace, Murder on the Orient Express, The Dresser, Tom Jones, Under the Volcano). Ed Masry provided the comic element in this film and kept things moving along. Finney was absolutely brilliant in the role.
