Boys meet girl (2/28/01)

____________


Erin Brockovich. [Stephen Soderbergh, 2000.]

Variations on the theme of underwear: Julia Roberts proves that Travolta could have won A Civil Action if only he’d worn a Wonderbra; Albert Finney, meanwhile, the young stud of Tom Jones no longer, looks like he could use a girdle. — Soderbergh, apparently, needs a tshirt with “Genius” written on the front and “Whore” on the back. But he’s got me coming and going.
