Working Girl for the year 2000.

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2000)

I went to see Erin Brockovich expecting another cheap, cheesy Hollywood flick, but was pleasantly surprised by both Roberts' and Finney's portrayals. Similar to Melanie Griffith's character in Working Girl, Roberts' character Erin Brockovich comes from the wrong side of town and is looking to improve her employment opportunities without the benefit of a college degree. The big difference is that she does not sell out by dressing to please the Company Man, and her goal is not to make money for the Company, but to make the big-pocketed corporations pay for destroying the lives and health of the little guys. Hopefully this is a sign of change in the moral climate from the 80's to the 00's.
