Fantastic movie everyone should watch

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2006)

"Erin Brockovich" is one of the smartest movies I have seen in a long time.In the tradition of "A Civil Action,"Erin Brockovich" delves into the case of a town inflicted with various diseases due to toxins coming from a PG & E plant.
Julia Roberts plays the title role who snares the case after getting hired as a file clerk to an attorney, Ed, played by Albert Finney. Rounding out the cast is Aaron Eckhart, who portrays George, Erin's supportive boyfriend.
"Erin Brockovich" embodies what directors should look for in making a good movie because this is one smart movie. "Erin Brockovich" has solidified Julia Roberts as a true star because her performance as Erin is one that only Julia could pull off. Julia brings her feisty attitude to a role that brought spunk to the character.
"Erin Brockovich" matched the feistiness and fiery attitude of Julia Roberts with the brilliant dialogue and direction of Steven Soderbergh, plot as well as perfect casting to make an outstanding and heart-warming film.
"Erin Brockovich" is a plain and simple feel good movie that touched me in ways that I cant even describe. After watching "Erin Brockovich," I wish I could do the same thing for others. I praise the real Erin Brockovich for what she has done for the town of Hinkley and what she and Ed continue to do, which is fight the good fight. Furthermore, the portrayals by Roberts and Finney did well in conveying the true effect Erin and Ed had in the town.
