3.5/5
"It's
Erin's
brassy, white-trash, amateur investigator that makes you want to watch this movie, all 2 1/2 hours of it."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
"Remember Michelle Pfeiffer in
Frankie and Johnny
, how ridiculously unresilient she looked in her waitress uniform? Erin is no more believable."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs

Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C+
"A feel good, old-fashioned (except for all the cuss words), liberal message movie for the people ..."

Erin Brockovich
strikes out."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
7/10
"What generally makes or breaks films of this type are their focus on character, character, character, and this film succeeds in radiating light through its stars."

Brockovich
."

Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
3.5/5
"Steven Soderbergh realizes that he's working with a potentially been-there-done-that situation, and he makes all the right choices."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
4/5
"O incrível é que Julia Roberts nos faz esquecer de sua aura de 'estrela de cinema' e acreditar que ela seja, de fato, alguém com sérias dificuldades financeiras."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
4/5
"An example of Hollywood entertainment done with finesse and compassion, the way it always should be but so often isn't."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves

Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux

eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
