Product Description
Rebellious teenager Rachel (Lindsay Lohan) screams, swears, drinks and is -- in a word -- uncontrollable. With her latest car crash, Rachel has broken the final rule in mom Lily's (Felicity Huffman) San Francisco home. With nowhere else to take the impulsive and rambunctious girl, Lily hauls her daughter to the one place she swore she?d never return...her own mother's Idaho farm. Matriarch Georgia (Jane Fonda) is not your typical sweet and doting grandmother. She lives her life by a number of unbreakable rules, demanding anyone who shares her home do the same?God comes first and hard work comes a very close second. Now saddled with raising the young woman, it will require each patient breath she takes to understand Rachel's fury. But as Rachel succumbs to her summer of misery and shakes up the tiny Mormon town, Georgia notices something is changing within her granddaughter. Given structure and responsibilities, Rachel is letting her guard down and learning compassion -- especially for her mother. Her journey will lead all three women to revelations of buried family secrets and an understanding that -- regardless what happens -- the ties that bind can never be broken.

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 Kim

 Georgia Rules June 30, 2009
#3 (A-Town)
This movie is actually pretty good. I was skeptical about watching it but Jane Fonda and Lindsay delivered great performances. I reccommend seeing this movie at least once.
 Nice Movie May 30, 2009
KittyNadem (Tucson, AZ)
This is a movie that I really like to watch. I've seen it about 5 times, and still can't get enough of it. Lindsey Lohan portrays a different side of her in this movie. Very unlike in Mean Girls, and in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Jane Fonda is that wonderful overbearing granny that we all love to laugh at her antics. She plays a good role as the all knowing grandmother though. I really enjoyed it. And even if you don't watch it five times like me, you'll still enjoy watching it at least once.
Oh Yeah This One Does It For Me May 13, 2009

Great product! April 5, 2009
J. Frye (North Manchester, IN USA)
This is an amazing movie with emotional twists and turns in every scene. Georgia Rule keeps you guessing until the end. It's also great acting from Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda (of course!), and Felicity Huffman to boot.
Pleasant surprise March 8, 2009
D. Harris (texas)
I actually watched this movie in attempt to hunt down all the old movies of Garrett Hedlund. I was immediately suspicious of the movie when I realized it had Linsay Lohan in it. But I went ahead and watched and was pleasantly surprised. In the beginning, Lohan's character acted like the spoil society girl we all believe Lohan to be, but as they fleshed out the movie, you actually began to sympathize and then root for her. It's not Oscar worthy, but I would watch it again. Thumbs up!
