Goofs:
Anachronisms: Letters on a desk in the lawyer's office have 33 cent stamps showing the US Flag and a skyscraper, which were issued in 1999. The real Erin Brockovich did her work (and the movie is set) in the early 1990s, when the first class postage rate was 25 cents, and later 29 cents.

Quotes:
Ed Masry:
In a law firm you may want to re-think your wardrobe a little.
Erin Brockovich: Well as long as I have one ass instead of two I'll wear what I like if that's all right with you. You might want to re-think those ties.

Hallelujah for Julia Roberts. She was BORN to play this role! Erin Brockovich is one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in a long time! And I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT!
The element that made Julia Roberts a star in Pretty Woman is very much what carried this movie. Julia's strengths is her ability to play street-wise, honest, and passionate characters. Erin Brockovich is all those things.
The writing is dead on, making Roberts job easier, I am sure. And Roberts delivery of the lines was flawless. SHE WAS ERIN BROCKOVICH. Not that I have ever met the woman...
Only in some places did the movie feel a little slow, I think perhaps, because of what the movie was about. Contamination cases aren't exactly the most exciting of plots, but it doesn't stay in one place too long and keeps moving.
I would pay full price to see this movie again. There is just so much funny dialogue in it.
9 out of 10 I vote.
