A serviceable smile

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2000)

The China Syndrome. Silkwood. The Insider. Ring any bells? Well now it's time for Erin Brokovich. (OK. I'll take back The Insider.) Enjoyable stuff, but far from gripping I'm afraid. Was it meant to be? Or was this just another vehicle in which Julia Roberts can stretch those legs and smile that smile? Never mind. We'll let this one through with just the quibble on how hard I find it to accept Salford's finest, (Albert Finney), basking in California sunshine. Sunday mornings were never like this.
