A star vehicle for Julia Roberts.

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2000)

Even though this movie lacks some dramatic punch, it is extremely effective as a star vehicle for Julia Roberts. She is indeed perfect as Erin Brockovich. It is a very mature role and she handles it beautifully. After playing some bombs, like "Runaway Bride" and "Notting Hill", Julia Roberts finally makes us remind of her great performances in "Pretty Woman" and "Steel Magnolias". I can see Academy Award nominations for her and Albert Finney, who, along with Roberts, is excellent.
