Light entertainment for the masses

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2000)

Light, funny, with one-liners that hit the note. Almost a feel-good movie for women who feel down-on-luck & life in general. Not overloaded with melodrama, this is not a chick-flick but some male-bashing is involved. Of course Brockovich's choice of necklines has been marketed to reel the guys in, but I see it as a part of the character and not merely there to boost sales. I congratulate Julia Roberts for fishing out yet another movie that appeals to the masses.
