Forcing her way into a clerkship for a law firm, she uses obvious sex appeal to fight against powerful capitalists in a water pollution case. As tension at work increases, so does the difficulty of her home life. His demands for her time do not pressure her to resign or lose hope in her struggle to uncover illegal activity that left an entire town suffering medical consequences. Best of all, Roberts goes to trial and wins her case. As every story should end, Brockovich's boyfriend stays with her, she earns mega-dollars, and is a great mom.
Happy endings are the best, especially since the film is based on a true story.
Erin Brockovich is able to capture the hearts of her audience by being as realistic and honest as possible. Good conquers all in this romantic comedy. Julia Roberts, at the heart of the movie, does a fantastic job of playing the role of mother, businesswoman, and lover.
