Soderbergh, what were you thinking?

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2001)

The only reason I went to see this schlock was because of Soderbergh. Yes, as impossible as it is to believe the same man who gave us SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE, OUT OF SIGHT, KING OF THE HILL, SCHIZOPOLIS, and THE LIMEY is responsible for yet another dumb Julia Roberts movie. Uncannily bad acting, and a script that feels like a bad TV movie from the 70's. One of the worst films of last year, so of course it's nominated for best picture. Turns out the real Erin Brokovich is even dumber than the fictional version. She just went bankrupt spending her entire $2 million on a dream house and drug rehabilitation. God bless America.
