Erin Brockovich Movie Review (1050 words) |
 | Brockovich has no prior legal experience and Masry initially balks at the proposition, but Brockovich finally convinces him to hire her on a trial basis ("Don't make me beg," she quietly pleads with him in front of the entire office). |
| Brockovich is tenacious, brassy and self-confident, an extrovert willing to speak her mind almost to the point of recklessness. |
| "Erin Brockovich" does a decent job of portraying the real-life legal struggles against PG&E. It is smart enough to balance the courtroom dramatics with the more human elements of the case, such as the impact of the medical problems on the Hinkley families, and the way Brockovich's involvement affects her relationship with her children. |
| Laramie Movie Scope: Erin Brockovich (617 words) |
| Erin, down on her luck, loses her job (she should have tried Hooters) and gets hit by a car, only to lose the case in court because of the above-mentioned foul mouth. |
| It is easy to sympathize with Erin, however, and the reason for that has more to do with her situation in life than because of the fact she is brainy and beautiful. |
| Because Erin has been downtrodden for so long, she can empathize for those who are being treated unjustly by the power company, and the people in the small town of Hinkley can see that. |
