A Great Movie, Plain and Simple....

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2000)

When I first heard about the movie "Erin Brockovich," I was worried that it was going to be something straight from Lifetime. I was expecting to see a sappy, cheesy, "based on a true story" movie about a single mother fighting the world one-on-one doing everything she can to feed her children. Now that I've seen the movie, however, I know that I was wrong. Julia Roberts portrays Erin excellently, and her performance makes this movie shine. Sure, it's not much more than a "feel good" movie, but hey...what's wrong with that? It has a good plot, good characters, and an all-around good feeling to it. It's well worth the price of admission, and I'm really glad that I saw this one.
