    I really love that Julia Roberts wears 50 of the sickest outfits I’ve ever seen and Aaron Eckert’s biker costume is from Spirit Halloween

    Erin Brockovich is an absolute BADASSS! I loved how she was able to pave her way through all the bull that people through at her, and she knew her worth. Julia Roberts played her unapologetically, and the story on how she saved hundreds of lives, by caring, was inspiring.

    9.1 - “NO, no... I hate lawyers. I only work for them.” I said in my last review this was one to rewatch with my wife, and then she asked to watch it last week. And of course she loved it. Erin Brockovich was and is a badass & this story offers so much to love still. And the fact it’s “98%…

    I was rlly pleasantly surprised with this movie. It’s incredibly inspiring w/a lot of heart & main characters you can rlly root for. It’s definitely very “grounded” which is part of the reason I was a bit underwhelmed by the ending, but overall, I rlly liked it +Erin is hilarious

Julia Roberts marches through Erin Brockovich like a force of nature. Granted, the movie gives her all of the best lines — to say nothing of its most eye-catching wardrobe. But the actress seizes the film's eponymous role with fire-in-her-eyes possessiveness and injects the character with all the energy and drive she can muster.

Erin Brockovich is a study in Hollywood optimism, and Roberts sells it hard.

All of the filmmaker's fine work and good intentions cannot make this repetitive and finally tiresome saga fly.
