But maybe I'm missing something?

Usually I have to come to these threads and edit out the links, etc., you people post, but there IS no link, nor information about the sneak preview (not that I'd want to know). Thank you for being a spammer who didn't technically spam - we appreciate it.

As for the movie - I suspect it'll be well done. I've enjoyed films of this genre - Norma Rae, Erin Brokovich and Silkwood, and after MonsterCharlize can definitely carry it off, it's just that I feel like this sort of story has been done so well before, why bother watching?

I know those who were involved in the real class action lawsuit care, and as far as judicial history is concerned it's interesting, but the story just isn't grabbing me.

Still, I hope others will see it as I'm older and have seen the rest of the films in this genre, while I'm not sure those of the current youth generation have. And of course, sexual harrassment or discrimination is definitely a worthy subject...

By the way, I edited the title to reflect the subject matter.
