ERIN BROCKOVICH (Theatrical Release USA 2000)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Erin Brockovich—inspiring movie—easily turns itself into a classic film watch. Julia Roberts makes, what could have easily been a boring watch, into an over-the-top entertainment piece and, without making it a message movie, makes several points easily received. WOW! The movie is so incredibly easy to watch. It flows.  The supporting cast, Albert Finney and Aaron Eckhart, frame Julia Roberts so well. This film is a blockbuster. Fabulous storytelling, great acting, and unexpectedly good story make this a treat for movie fans. Great work for all involved.
