fantastic!, 25 September 2001
Author: mattkratz (themattk@hotmail.com) from Richardson, TX

I felt like Julia Roberts deserved the Oscar she received for this film, as she played a single mom who almost single-handedly exposes a plant contaminating a town's water supply to its knees. The fight she put up was truly inspiring. The best part was that it was based on a true story! I love most Julia Roberts roles, and this one was no exception.
