Beautiful Movie - Based on a true story

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2009)

I remember watching this movie back in 2000 being ten years old and understandably I didn't appreciate it for its technical brilliance at the time but still simply loving every moment of every scene. I watch this movie now and fall deeply in love with every line that comes out characters mouths.
Julia Roberts has her ups in and downs but her acting in this movie has given new meaning to the term respect. Roberts portrays a single mother who through desperation works her hardest to put food on the table for her children and not for one second did I doubt her acting. This coming from a guy who looks at most top end actors and see's the actor not the character.
Albert Finney, this wonderful man once again proves why it is he has constantly been praised with his Oscar nominations. This man puts the Act in actor. Finney plays the small time private lawyer who is responsible for giving Roberts character the job. Given that Finneys character was neither in dept nor well written (but not in a bad way) Al makes the character shine and brings the viewers into the story with his constant facial expressions and his expansive hilarity, all in all Finney plays his part perfectly as the supporting character.
Aaron Eckhart plays the "house husband" nanny who looks after the kids for most of the movie. He doesn't have a major role but plays his part well and was nicely suited for the task. He also brings a nice side story to the major plot.
All in all this is a very well written adaptation of the life of Erin Brockovich. The characters are lovable and progress nicely throughout the film. This movie will keep you entertained and have you laughing your ass off one minute and have your lunging for your hanky the next.
Do not miss the Beauty that is, Erin Brockovich.
