Erin Brockovich represents the first enthusiastic recommendation I can make for a 2000 motion picture...this film is smart, savvy, funny, and at times, poignant. The characters and situations are more vivid than those presented in most legal thrillers...in short, Erin Brockovich is a winner. - James Berardinelli
