My Take
Okay, I'll just say it: when Julia Roberts smiles, the movie stops belonging to anyone else. That megawatt grin basically built the modern romantic comedy, and Pretty Woman turned her into the kind of star they don't really mint anymore. But what I love is she never coasted on the charm alone. She won that Best Actress Oscar for Erin Brockovich by playing a brassy, foul-mouthed underdog and made you cheer for every word. There's a Georgia-girl warmth to her, an easy laugh and zero pretense, that makes even her glossiest blockbusters feel human. She can do flinty, she can do heartbroken, she can do flat-out hilarious. Decades in, she's still that rare movie star who feels like the most fun, most magnetic person in any room. Total class act, and I'm a fan.
