Movie Reviews of Georgia Rule (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Talent with Attitude!
Summary: 4 Stars
When the movie first came out on the big screen, critics weren't too friendly with the ratings. Being a fan of Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan, and Felicity Huffman I really wanted to see the movie, but kept putting it off with each bad review I heard. Finally getting the chance to view it in the comfort of my own home, I didn't have high hopes.
In my opinion the acting was magnificent, and the storyline successfully portrayed each of the women's characters in an entertaining and chaotic way. I must admit as I watched the movie, I really couldn't see a male getting to excited about it. In fact I could see all of my male family members just hating this type of movie. For me, though, I think I could relate more. I didn't relate to Rachel's (Lindsay Lohan) distinct problems (I don't want to give the story away), but instead the relationships between mother and daughter, and grandmother and granddaughter, etc. Each of the characters, the Grandmother Georgia (Jane Fonda), Rachel's mother Lilly (Felicity Huffman), and Rachel had their own problems and each had their problems with each other. They work through them in their own distinct family way (lots of attitude!) and eventually come to an understanding with one another.
I enjoyed this movie greatly, and I think the next time I may pop the movie in when I am home with my own mother, because it is just that kind of movie. Like I said, I am not sure I would watch it with a male crowd, I am sure they would not take to it!
Summary of Georgia Rule (Full Screen Edition)
When three generations of women collide, it isn't always pretty. In Georgia Rule, Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls) stars as Rachel, a wild child whose mother Lilly (Felicity Huffman, Desperate Housewives) ships her off to Idaho to be tamed by Georgia (Jane Fonda, On Golden Pond)--Lilly's own cantankerous mom. There, 17-year-old Rachel shocks the conservative community with her short shorts, eager sexuality (which she plies on everyone from 12-year-old boys to unsophisticated, but hot, Mormon neighbors), and her tales of possible sexual abuse at the hands of her somewhat slimy stepfather (Cary Elwes, The Princess Bride). As directed by Garry Marshall (Beaches, Pretty Woman), Georgia Rule is a flawed chick flick where the women are tolerable but not particularly likeable. The characters we want to know more about are the peripheral ones we don't see enough of--the men. Simon (Dermot Mulroney), the kindly (and sexy) veterinarian who was once madly in love with Lilly, in many ways is the film's moral compass. A widower whose wife and son died tragically in an accident, Simon would've made a more compelling movie subject than these women. And for all his latent pining for Lilly, the moviegoer feels relieved for him that dodged a bullet by not marrying into this dysfunctional family. While the female leads aren't quite believable as mother, daughter, and grandmother, they all have strong moments in the film that save it from being a groaning mess. While Lohan doesn't exhibit the charm she displayed in Mean Girls, she more than holds her own in parts with the scene-stealing Fonda, who is quite good at chewing up the scenery. --Jae-Ha KimComedy DVD Video
