A real woman. A real story. A real triumph. Julia Roberts stars as Erin Brockovich, a feisty young mother who fought for justice any way she knew how. Desperate for a job to support herself and her three children, she convinces attorney Ed Masry (Albert Finney) to hire her, and promptly stumbles upon a monumental law case against a giant corporation. Now, Erin’s determined to take on this powerful adversary even though no law firm has dared to do it before. And while Ed doesn’t want anything to do with the case, Erin won’t take “no” for an answer. So the two begin an incredible and sometimes hilarious fight that will bring a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees.

Great movie.
I love this movie. It is so well done and is very honest and entertaining. I finally just bought the video because it was less expensive than renting it through Amazon. Julia Roberts is never dissappointing in any movie she is in.

Whistle Blower type of movie
It’s a good movie. The teacher at my college wanted the class to watch it as a business ethic assignment. Julia Roberts seems to play the down trodden, misjudged, or abused woman in many of her movies, such as in Pretty Woman or Sleeping with the enemy. It was kind of a hoot to see her acting Erin Brockovich, ally to the common man, when in reality, people say the opposite about Roberts. She’s kind of the female version of Tom Hanks, she seems to devour all the acting roles. Good movie even with her as the star, it’s based on a true story and many reviewers act almost offended that Hollywood veered off the course a little, yet, sometimes they have to add a few things here and there to make a movie more in depth. The bottom line is this movie is about a real lady who was a whistle blower concerning a water company that knowingly had contaminated water and was letting the customer consume it, which was causing cancer and sickness. Her and her lawyer partner worked hard to prove their case. And they won. It’s like a person finding out what they can contribute to the world and this was her thing. Most people have heard of Erin Brockovich.

Bringing Back The 90’s HS Students Love This Movie!
My HS Juniors loved this movie and I was in shock. We used it for our water resources unit and I was worried about showing them movies from my generation. They thought it was one of the greatest movies they EVER watched and that’s saying something. They then went on to research their own water contamination cases for independent projects. Today’s kids love our GenX stuff so bring it all back!

OK IMO
Single mother of two, dresses like a slut, becomes super mom/investigator/bad ass NOT lawyer giant killer. I’m curious as to how much is actually true and how much was dramatized. Her boss was a saint/unrealistically tolerant person for putting up with her abuse/threats/demands. Most places (ALL?) would have fired her and told her “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out”.

Awesome movie and I highly recommend it.

Mi è piaciuto il fatto che, nonostante i suoi anni, sia un film molto contemporaneo. Julia Roberts favolosa.

Ondanks dat duidelijk in de omschrijving stond met Dutch ondertiteling bleek dit NIET het geval te zijn. Ontzettend Baalen dus ð¡
