entertaining but...

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2000)

Well, who wouldn't want to watch a movie about an extraordinary life such as Erin Brokovich? True story it may be, but it still feels like standard Hollywood formula. Although the formula still seems to work. Roberts and Finney are great, as is the story. It provides a good but not preachy moral: Work hard for what you believe in and you'll get rewarded. Well, in the movies anyway! Bottom line, it's a good movie. See it, enjoy it and feel good for seeing it. But don't expect much more than that.
