Underdog with ample cleavage

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2019)

Erin Brockovich offers a classic tale of the little guy (in this case, gal) going up against the system. What makes this story somewhat more appealing than the usual fairytale is that it is based loosely on a true story about a real woman. The script is linear, with much slapstick-type humor and nearly non-stop footage of Julia Roberts´ barely clothed body.
Everyone likes the underdog to win. It gives us hope that the human spirit can prevail even against overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable forces. There is some attempt at romantic comedy here and there, but mostly the failure of Erin´s relationship reveals why she is twice divorced despite being gorgeous and sassy.
This movie is okay. Nothing to rave about, and nothing I will ever watch again, but it had its moments. And the little guy (gal) won. The End.
