Erin Brockovich (2000)

2011-03-12

An okay and interesting enough movie about this heroic lady (Julia Roberts) who plays a key role in a law-suit against a major corporation. I saw it some years back, and it's just forgettable. I don't like the fact that the story about the ex-husbands was so ignored, or even the character of the angelic boyfriend. They just didn't care to justify why he was so kind, or even cover a little bit of his backgrounds.

Julia Roberts' performance got a lot of praise, and although it's far from bad, I find it overrated. There's nothing spectacular about it. Maybe these people should just admit that they loved the character she played. I did too. She is far tougher than I'll probably ever be.
