- 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.

  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)!

  Erin Brockovich
  
  This was a really good watch. It held you right from the start as the storyline was very plausible and the characters held their own in this solid story.
