The movie starts mid-action with Rachel, a free-spirited teenage rebel hitchiking her way to Hull, Idaho against her mother's request. Her strained relationship with her mother and grandmother is only worsened by her naturally rebellious ways and incredulous behavior. When Rachel reveals a secret about her past to an acquaintance, these three generations of women are forced to face what is in front of them. The plot of this movie flip flops back and forth and changes gears too often and too quickly. The film does not address the heavy topics that it brings up, rather it walks around. Lindsay Lohan's acting is not bad, after all she is talented (regardless of reputation). On the other hand her character is very cliche, and shows some resemblance to Lohan's real personality, so how much of a challenge could it have been? Fonda and Hoffman weren't bad, but surely could've done better. It's essential that a movie draws you in, but Georgia Rule doesn't give the closure that audiences thrive for. This Garry Marshall directed film, is another thumbs down as are most films directed by Marshall. Honestly I don't know why he keeps doing it.
5/10
Skip it :( **The only thing I liked about this film was Lohan's fresh white summer wardrobe.
I'm biased because Felicity Huffman is my all-time favorite actress in the whole world lol. I agree, I watched some of this on TV the other night. The movie itself sucks but I disagree about the acting, I think the performances are outstanding, at least Felicity's (but then again, I'm biased haha).
ReplyDeleteAgree about Garry Marshall. Princess Diaries and Raising Helen are his better films and they're cute films but he's a terrible director.
