Unoriginal, uninteresting

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2001)

For some reason, we are asked to be impressed by the fact that 'Erin' was based on a true story. I wasn't. Nothing about the Roberts character was the slightest bit engaging, the great Albert Finney was wasted, the story was totally predictable, and Travolta's 'Class Action' did the same story better. Basically, I didn't care one way or the other whether the goodies won or lost the case, or whether Erin would or wouldn't find true love with the bikie. Everybody in the film, including the principals, was a caricature. I saw it through to the end only because I thought my wife was interested. She wasn't.
