MovieDudes review : Erin Brockovitch (may contain spoilers!)

    Erin Brockovitch used to be a beauty queen but now is an unemployed mother of 3 children and to make things wurse her two husbands have walked out on her without paying child support (boo!). Erin has big tits and likes to dress like a prostitute in order to get her way with men.

    One day Erin gets in a car accident and employs a lawyer called Albert Finney to defend her in court. Erin loses the case because she has a fowl mouth and says some bad words to the judge. Afterwards Erin blames Finney for losing in court and gets in his face so much that he gives her a mickey-mouse job filing documents just to shut her up.

    However, whilst snooping thru these files Erin disovers that a company called PGandE have been poisoning the water supply to the people of some redneck town in southern californa for years! Erin tells Albert Finney and they decide to sew the company.

    All this legal work leaves Erin v.busy so she gets her next door neighbor 'BikerDude' to mind her kids in exchange for sex. After about six months of being Erins manbitch BikerDude has had enough and leaves her for a HarlyDavison and the open road.

    Finney eventually wins the people of hicksville ca. $333million dollars and everyone is happy (except for PGandE of course - lol). Erin gets several pay rises throughout the movie and finally a cheque for $2million dollars for her 2 years work at Albert Finneys lawfirm.

    Movie Dudes rating : **

    are you the guy from the simpsons or what??

    1. Albert Finney was the ACTOR'S name, not the character's name. The character was Ed Masry.

    2. Did your mommy let you stay up and watch it last night? (No adult I know spells that bad!)

    talk about your third rate review, sheesh.

    Panda dudes rating: -*

    imo its a good film, and worth about 4 stars.

    enjoyed the film. It's a true story as far as I remember.

    "May contain spoilers"

    Hmmm, how's about "May contain nothing but spoilers, no personal views at all except for a star rating out of some undefined number"

    Did you like the movie? Hate it? Is it two stars out of two? Three? Forty-seven (it'll be a cold day in hell when I recognise Missoura)?

    Your parents must be so proud. Their six year old being able to write such a good review and being able to spell so well also.

    FAO: Movie Dude

    [Why did you call the thread a movie review?

    1) You spelt the name of the movie wrong?
    2) Its not a review, it's a very brief and bad summary of the film's main plot.
    3) You said it may contain spoilers, well it did, all over it. I know it was a true story and all but jaysus dont rehash the whole plot.
    4) You cant spell.
    5) If you have no opinions on things dont review them?

    PS: Don't give up your day job.]

    I thought it was a very good film probably Roberts best performance since Pretty Woman.
    Albert Finney was quite good too.

    IMO it deserved at leat 4/5 stars.

    Methinks Soderbergh would have got an oscar for it but then again he did win it for Traffic the same year which was a better film IMO.

    Movie Dude.
    As an amature Journalist, I can tell you something that you might have overlooked. A flimsy relay of the plot does not equal a review.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina

    Classic review, more of this please - a rather good, humorous, to the point, non (but not anti) pro-feminist cut down of a rather poor movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,167 ✭✭✭Shad0r

    it's a funny toungue-in-cheek review, you bunch of humourless fukwits. by the way, erin brokovich appears in the movie - she's the waitress in the diner when julia roberts is bringing her kids out for some grub after losing the court case.

    No, it's not funny and no it's not a review, - it is, as already stated, "a flimsy relay of the plot" with no real mention of whether the film is any good or not and HOW it's any good or not.

    Oh - and calling people "humorous fukwits" - yeah, that's a good way to get them to take you seriously... nicely done!

    It would be interesting to compare joey's and Movie dude's IPs :E

    Movie Dude, come back all is forgiven, your review inspired me,
    if only all critics were as perceptive as you in deconstructing modern cinema classics for the simple man on the street.

    Can you do a review of "Cool Runnings", I'm having trouble reconciling the main characters emotional problems with the harsh and hostile environment of Olympic bobsledding

    I'm going to sit here in the Films board awaiting your return...
