The movie, Erin Brockovich, captures the true story of a twice-divorced, single mom, Erin (Julia Roberts), who discovers an injustice and fights for the people who need to win the most. She takes on a large corporation, PG&E, who she is convinced has actively poisoned a town. Erin devotes herself to stop this criminal act in ways less conventional than expected. (Universal Pictures)

If it weren't for the completely out of the blue feelgood-tone in its resolution (from what i know, cancer doesn't go away if you dump enough cash on it, that's aids!), I would've liked it a lot more. Roberts delivers, though it's hardly oscar-worthy. In fact the role doesn't even hold that potential to me...but whatever. Way to go hollywood, you show those big corporate thugs how it's the little people that'll always come out on top.

Despite the odd casting of Pretty Woman as the fighting lawyer it is still fairly interesting.

Interesting, well-directed, strong performance by Roberts...but it feels like it has no replay value. Of course maybe that's because I saw it a billion times on TV, but it feels so dry at times - very procedural without any dramatic punch, even as well made as it is. I dunno.

Erin Brockovich forgoes legal cliches of big courtroom speeches, but replacing it with discussions of arbitration isn't particularly compelling. Oddly enough, the film works best as a comedy, and Albert Finney kills it. It's not particularly objectionable, other than the fact that we're supposed to believe Julia Roberts's tits aren't taped together like a broken Lego set.

A movie built around a strong Oscar-winning performance from Julia Roberts.

It's not too bad for what it is. However, I always find that Roberts seems kind of, I don't know, artificial in her roles. There's something about her I can't put my finger on, but I never can buy her characters as people.

Love her or hate her, Julia Roberts deserved the praise she received for this film. This based on a true story is definitely worth a watch. Or 5 in my case.

More or less typical biopic, but Julia Roberts gives a great performance that was rewarded with an Oscar.

I wasn't expecting to like this very much, but it was very good. I was afraid that they'd present Erin as the perfect working class hero uber-woman, but Soderbergh did an admirable job of showing her flaws. Or maybe he sees those flaws as virtues, I dunno. Either way, powerful story with interesting characters.

By the numbers expose drama, but the Brockovich personality carries this into something worthwhile. I want to make an edit where she's never inside her own house. I think that would be a much better film.

My wife became radicalized after watching this. Aaron Eckhart is terribly miscast. He had a bad wig, but he also never really felt like he could ride that hog.

Not terrible, but Julia Roberts yelling and swearing does not make a great movie. Ellen Burstyn was robbed of the Oscar.

Julia Roberts struck me, is very good here, did not like it so far. The rest of the cast is also good. The story is well crafted and engaging.
