That's all you got lady! Two wrong feet in &$@%&!# ugly shoes!

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2002)

Julia Roberts won an Oscar for her portrayal of real-life caricature Erin Brockovich, and deservedly so. Miss Roberts is a brilliant actress capable of taking on any type of character, and she certainly succeeds in capturing the ballsy, outspoken single mother-of-three, Erin.
It's the touching true of story of Erin Brockovich. A woman who had nothing, had the guts to take on a 28 billion dollar company, fight for the underdog and emerge victorious. When Erin finds out that the Pacific Gas & Electric company is illegally dumping deadly chemicals into the town of Hinkley's water supply, her and her lawyer boss (played by Albert Finney) try to bring them down!
The cinematography is snappy and refreshing; the acting is brilliant - not flawed in any scene or sense; the pacing is usually pretty good, although sometimes a bit drawn out; and - and now here's a bonus - it's a story you WANT to watch to the end, that holds your attention with hilarious Brockovich one-liners and good dialogue. Finally! A movie you can actually sink your teeth into! And one that doesn't need to rely amazing special effects, explosions, car chases and the like to captivate the audience. This film, like many others shows why Julia Roberts is paid US$20 million for 3 months of her time. 'Erin Brockovich' is now one of my favorite movies of all time. The only thing more disturbing than the flawless production is the fact that the story is real! 9/10
See it.
