In a world where heroes are often in short supply, the story of Erin Brockovich is an inspirational reminder of the power of the human spirit. Her passion, tenacity and steadfast desire to fight for the rights of the underdog defied the odds, her victory made even more sweet by the fact that while helping others, she in turn helped herself. Erin Brockovich is a stirring, funny and unconventional drama based on true events, starring two-time Academy Award* nominee Julia Roberts as the twice-divorced mother of three young children who sees an injustice, takes on the bad guy and wins. With no money, no job and no prospects on the horizon, Erin Brockovich is a woman in a tight spot. Following a car accident in which Erin is not at fault, she finds herself even worse off when her attorney fails to land her any kind of settlement. With nowhere else to turn, Erin pleads with her attorney Ed Masry to hire her at his law firm. It is there, while working, that Erin stumbles upon some medical records placed in real estate files. Confused, she begins to question the connection. She convinces Ed to allow her to investigate, where she discovers a cover-up involving contaminated water in a local community which is causing devastating illnesses among its residents. Although the local citizens are initially leery of becoming involved, Erin's persistence and the personal interest she takes in their lives makes them listen. A kindred spirit, Erin is one of them, and her ability to connect with them on their level makes them comfortable, ultimately earning their trust. Helping her out is her next door neighbor George, a Harley Davidson biker whose friendship and support allows her the time to pursue the case. Going door to door, she signs up over 600 plaintiffs, and Erin and Ed, with the help of a major law firm, go on to receive the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history, $333 million. By triumphing over insurmountable odds, she is able to prove herself, and reinvent her life.

Unexpectedly lively and amusing movie of a heartening true story, one that gives Julia Roberts her best and most convincing role so far, as a feisty but vulnerable mother who refuses to be intimidated by anyone.

A testament to 'never judging a book by its cover'
Roberts plays an apparantly dim,loud mouth, single mother with a questionable dress sense who, through desperation and bribery, gains employment from the lawyer... read more »

Erin's All Good
Obviously not a new film at all but well worth another viewing. Still Julia Roberts' best work. Spoil yourself and take another look.

Decent film
I think I was expecting this film to be better than it was. It's still a good chick flick to watch though and Julia Roberts is brilliant (as usual)!

Imagine how different things might have been if Molly Ringwald had accepted the part of Vivian in Pretty Woman when it was offered to her twenty one years ago. This LA Cinderella story, with a hooker standing in for Cinders and an investment banker as her Prince Charming, was budgeted at approximately $14 million, and made more than $450 million worldwide – a fairytale that studio executives whispered to their girlfriends at bedtime. Julia Roberts was twenty three years old then, and... Read more
