Georgia Rule
Mother. Daughter. Grandmother.
In this family, attitude doesn't skip a generation.
Three generations of top actresses unite in a film from director, Garry
Marshall (Beaches, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride) about the power of redemption,
freedom in forgiveness and unbreakable bonds of motherhood.
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 mum 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 to which 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 to 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.
Critic Reviews:
- " In the end this film is genuine and sincere. It tugs at peoples
emotions and if you have ever struggled in a mother-daughter relationship you
can really relate. " – Vince Koehler
- " The brassy performances and pure, at-odds variance of Georgia Rule
with much of Hollywood studio product make it a welcome-enough May visitor.
" – Brent Simon
- " As an acting showcase – the supporting roles are as rich as the
leads – Georgia Rule is undeniably one of the year's best American
dramedies. " – Jeff Shannon
