Erin Brokovich - 4 stars

Erin Brokovich is the true story of a single-mom who leads the charge in one of the biggest lawsuits in US history. A California town's water was contaminated by PG&E, making it's residents sick with several types of cancer and many other diseases. Julia Roberts provides the performance of her career. Albert Finney, Daddy Warbucks in Annie, is a delight to watch as the tired and socially challenged attorney. The story is extremely well told. You experience the challenges with balancing career opportunities, parenting, dating, and risks. The actual Erin Brokovich has a cameo as a waitress. An overall great film.
