Excellent with a capital E!

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2001)

Now this IS a film that contains Julia Robert's best performance. Anyway, I can even go as far as saying that it certainly beats the one she displayed in Stepmom.
Robert's portrays a single, unemployed mother of three children who just lost a court case and is now finding it impossible to pay all her bills and expenses. Naturally, she desperately tries to find every job possible in the local newspaper...with no luck of course. So, her only alternative is to try and force her lawyer, Ed, to give her any job available at his firm.
Curiosity finally got the better of Julia, as she goes scurrying around the firm and finds herself glued to an interesting case which involves countless number of people who have suffered from diseases caused by water produced by their distributor. Then the plot thickens, with Julia smelling something illegal going on in the water distributor and ultimately, finds a new case for her new boss (Ed).
I must admit that the setting of an outback America was a bit of a huge letdown for me. I'm the sort of person who's used to a nice, urban avenue filled with typically large American houses or big, meteropolise areas chocked with skyscrapers (i.e New York). However, overall, I was very pleased with the film and this is a must see for all Julia Robert's fans.
