A movie that will make you laugh, while bringing a tear to your eye

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2000)

Erin Brockovich is a movie that contains the lot. From the acting right through to the plot this movie is a definite must see flick. Julia Roberts is at an all-time best in this a-class movie. All of the co-stars are magnificent. They all put in a top class performance and made the movie worth seeing.
Even though this is based on a true story it is really a well-thought out and planned movie. The basic storyline is about Erin Brockovich, a jobless, mother of three who has been divorced twice. She hardly has a hundred dollars in her bank account and the only thing holding her from suicide are her kids.
But one day when she is hit be a reckless driver and takes him to court she loses. Annoyed at her lawyer she decides to force him into giving her a minimum wage job. He accepts and whilst she is doing her job she comes across a case which she wants to investigate upon. She is given permission and goes ahead.
From there onwards it is Roberts and Finney taking over the show in this heart stopping, laughable and sad tale of family, love, work and sex. Well maybe not sex but I thought it was a nice touch..
Overall a 9/10.. definitely worth seeing.
