DVD 5 - Erin Brockovich

I will start by saying that the DVD was a blah. This is the type of DVD that relied heavily on the strength of:

1. The movie – it was critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated

2. The lead star – Julia Robert’s Academy award winning performance

However, a DVD is supposed to contain features not a rundown of the accomplishments of the actor, actress, and director. No wonder it was left on the shelf.

You might argue that this is an old movie. 9 years is a very long time but can’t they put together a decent feature. They have 9 years to work on it. It would have been appreciated if there was an effort like Julia talking about how the movie was made or the real person stepping out and telling how she thought of the movie. A rehash of this would still be okay.

But no, it was just the movie. Luckily, the movie was fun to watch. It was what it was supposed to be. Since there are no features, what would I talk about?

Well, I can persuade you not to buy but I will say this:

1. Buy it if you are a big Julia Roberts fan

2. Buy it if you really loved the movie and you will feel it would be a classic

3. Buy it if you haven’t watch it and you do not want to borrow

For me, I will rent it out to recoup the losses. Want to rent it? Ping me.

Why did I purchase it?

1. On sale – not a good reason though

2. I thought the movie will outweigh the lack of features

3. I was thinking if it did not make me happy then I can rent it out.
