Brockovich entertains but doesn't show us anything new...

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2000)

I left this movie satisfied but not impressed. Julia Roberts is, as usual, an outstanding performer. Albert Finney also delivers in his role as a stodgy but somehow still flexible lawyer.
I am not sure what the hype is about over this film (other than Julia Roberts'cleavage). It may be that pickin's are slim right now? I've seen drier times at the theaters so I am not sure why Erin Brockovich is being given such laud. It is entertaining, certainly, but not that original.
