Probably the best thing for her, no one wanted to see 'Pretty Woman 2' or 'Oceans 13.'

Who is Julia Roberts? Wasn't she the chef who died last year?

She can spend all this time apologizing to her children for burdening them with their ridiculous names.

I hope it isn't one of those Barbara Streisand type retirements else this will just be her first of countless retirements.

I don't really care about her movies, and I won't take pot shots at them. I'd just think it's nice to see that she has placed her children as a priority.

Ol' Liver Lips is 100% overrated and dumb as a box of rocks.

I fail to see any downside here.

The only gigs offered to her now are sequels to Ocean's 11.
