Forget about what the critics say and go see this movie!

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2000)

Sure there are other movies like "Silkwood" and "A Civil Action" where everyday people take on the "suits" of a powerful company, but let's not compare them. Enjoy each film for it's own merit including"Erin Brockovich".
The cast did an outstanding job making me care about the characters they portrayed. Women who dress like hookers, men who ride motorcycles and dress in leather, and lawyers in general, make me uncomfortable, but I cheered for each one of them in this film. My heart went out to those who were suffering and I thanked my lucky stars that I wasn't one of them.
If a movie can make you "feel" something, then I say it's a good movie. I felt something when I left the theater after seeing this film and I think you will feel something too. Just sit back, forget about your own life for two hours, and enjoy the show.
