very inspiring and definitely feminist

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2000)

It is a very entertaining and - unlike what many people think - very believable movie. I was surprised to see very little mention of the feminist implications of the movie. Erin's genuine compassion can only be felt so intensely by the people she interacts with because she is a woman. Of-course the fact that she is not a perfect career woman, in terms of professional attitude and wardrobe style etc... adds another element of reality as she is not THE perfect woman - yet she succeeds in a lovely way and with such support from us: people watching the movie! This movie, in addition to the very good performance of the cast and the main idea of the plot, also points out a very interesting point: a woman with a great setback of lack of a qualified expressing C.V. can make some significant changes given her innate sympathy, compassion and emotional intelligence. Very inspiring. i don't know about the majority of people who watched the movie, but it seemed VERY believable to me.
