Maltin-style review

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2000)

Entertaining portrait of real-life legal assistant Erin Brockovich, who took on Central California's corrupt utility mavens and emerged triumphant. Julia Roberts brings the populist heroine to delightful life, and Albert Finney is engaging as Ed Masry. Beautiful photography of California's San Joaquin Valley. Look for the real McCoy in a small role as a waitress.
