Julia Roberts was incredibly good !!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2000)

I saw this movie on its' opening weekend and I LOVED it!! This is such a great movie. First of all: JULIA ROBERTS I always thought she is a very talented woman but in this movie she was her best. She topped all of her previous performances. And why is that? Because she FINALLY had the chance to play in a movie that has such a wonderful script that she can show how good she really is.
And, oh my God, she is *GOOD* Some people might have been worried if such a big Hollywood star could actually play a single Mom who is divorced twice and has 3 kids and just 16 $ on the bank. Those people were so wrong! She succeeded in this role so much that you not once had the feeling there is a Hollywood star playing the part. The whole time, Julia WAS Erin Brockovich. If this performance won't get her at least an Oscar nomination, there must be something seriously wrong in Hollywood. The rest of the cast was just as great, especially Aaron Eckhart as the biker neighbor and Albert Finney as the boss of the law form. As this movie has a very serious topic, I was expecting a 2.5 hours drama. And yes,this movie was in part very dramatic. But also so funny, I laughed my butt off!! The time seemed so short to me and I consider seeing this movie in the theater again. Another thing I appreciated about this movie very much was that there were no endless courtscenes. This is an intelligent, funny,well-done movie. Julia Roberts was just so amazing. Because of all these facts, I give it 10/10.
