I won’t bother giving you a full critique of the film. The Brunching Shuttlecocks and Mr. Cranky both have very good reviews and say pretty much what I want to say.
What they don’t say is that the movie is surprisingly funny in a few places. Julia Roberts has a few nasty put-downs and Albert Finney does a marvellous job as the straight man. I personally think Finney does the best acting in the movie.
It’s not really necessary to catch this movie on the big screen. There aren’t any special effects that make it a necessity. You’ll enjoy it just as well at home. I do recommend that you see it, however. Definitely beats The Ninth Gate and Mission to Mars.
Erin Brockovich gets something like 4 to 4 and 1/2 stars on the Sy scale.

I liked it, because I like legal dramas. I think I’m turning into somewhat of an old fogie, however, because I agreed with Erin’s colleagues that she didn’t dress appropriately for an office job. Actually Erin Brockovic seemd like a nasty character sometimes (when she insults her co-workers), but that just made her more realistic and therefore made a better movie.
I loved the movie and actually want to see it again even though I thought Erin was a bitch, not really likeable except when her bitchy prowess gets focused on the bad guys, and did I mention I thought she was a bitch. I would recommend seeing it because it had the funny moments and the drama was good.
I have a question regarding the two supporting actresses popping out of Erin’s top. Is Julia REALLY that busty, or do they say “Nerf” on the underside?
