I don't get it...

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2002)

I thought this movie was OK. I was stunned when it was nominated for so many awards, and then when it actually won! I couldn't believe it. Was I missing something?
I thought this was your pretty typical movie, nothing special. Julia Roberts' performance is OK, definitely not Oscar caliber though. As a whole I just felt that there was nothing special about the story, the acting, or the dialogue.
If anything this was a little above mediocre, solely because of its social messages about the plights of single mothers and the tiny law firm taking on a giant corporation.
So to summarize, there's simply nothing special about this movie. See it once when you have nothing better to do.
6/10
