Georgia Rule

Mother. Daughter. Grandmother. In this family, attitude doesn't skip a generation.


Georgia Rule
This chick-flick tries to take a look at some serious issues (incest, child abuse), but chickens out in the end. The story revolves around a rebellious teen, who is giving her mom a hard time. Mom decides to take teen to grandma's house out in the sticks, in the hope that gran's discipline will sort out the teen. The teen is soon disrupting country life by hitting on a Mormon boy as well as her employer, a vet. At the same time, she makes serious allegations against her dad, which drives mom to drink. Mom and gran also had a delicate relationship, and the kid's behaviour is not helping...

James Berardinelli quote iconGeorgia Rule will most likely be recalled as the movie that resulted in Morgan Creek CEO James G. Robinson rebuking Lohan for her poor work ethic. There's certainly nothing else about the production worth remembering.
10
ScreenIt
quote iconAs a straight drama this story could have worked, which also holds true if it had been bittersweet look at mother/daughter relationships sans the more troubling story elements. As it stands, this hybrid has a volatile and potentially explosive ingredient, but its treatment results in nothing but a cinematic mutt.
