"Eine wahre Geschichte"
Erin Brockovich
Erin Brockovich ist eine alleinstehende Mutter mit Kindern, die verzweifelt einen Job sucht, ohne daß man ihr eine Chance gibt. Eine Wende deutet sich an, als ihr Anwalt ihren Prozeß wegen eines Autounfalls versiebt. Frustriert zwingt sie ihn, ihr eine Stelle als Sekretärin zu geben, wo sie wegen ihrer aufreizenden Kleidung und ihres resoluten Mundwerks nicht gern gesehen ist. Als sie jedoch einen Fall bearbeitet, in dem die Pacific Gas + Electric Co. heimlich, still und leise Land zurückkauft, findet sie heraus, daß die Firma das Land vor Jahren mit lebensbedrohlichem Chrom kontaminiert hat. Sie bohrt weiter, und obwohl der daraus resultierende Fall eine Klasse zu hoch für ihre kleine Anwaltsfirma ist, treibt sie ihren Chef weiter in die größte Schadensersatzklage aller Zeiten...

The dialogue is pretty sharp, there are a few good lines in there for Roberts. She herself is terrific here, I enjoyed her whole performance. Away from Roberts, you have Albert Finney and Aaron Eckhart involved, as well as a few minor roles for…
Not that bad of a movie. Honestly there's all kind of plants around the world that pollute a lot of different things that are harmful to us. I wish they would have had trial in this movie and make them sweat. Would have been nice to see.
