Julia scores in the best role of her career, 18 March 2000
10/10
Author: Marc Bess from Cherryville, North Carolina

"Erin Brockovich" is an emotional, funny drama based on a true story about a single, twice-divorced, single mother of 3 (Julia Roberts) who, after landing a job at a small legal firm, helps residents of a small town hurt by water pollution to win over $300 million in a lawsuit. The film is excellent. Julia Roberts turns in one of the best performances I've seen ever. "Erin Brockovich" is a winner.
