Charlyze Theron leaves an abusive husband and returns to, her home town with her two kids to take a job in a strip mine where women are outnumbered by men 30 to one. She immediately runs into the institutional sexual harrasment, which includes obscenities, groping, and all the other obnoxious things men do to intimidate women. The prevailing belief is that the women are taking jobs away from men. After a series of incidents Theron engages lawywer Woody Harrelson and they file the first class action sexual harrassment lawsuit in the nation. Though the courtroom scenes are hardly realistic they do work on a dramatic level. The film worked for me and is splendidly cast. This is the second directorial outing for Niki Caro, who did "Whale Rider".
