SICK HOLLYWOOD SCRIPTS
Others have reviewed this movie so I'm just adding my comment on the script in general.
How many of you are angered that Hollywood continually puts out films that deal with abuse, of one kind or another, to the female gender and passes it off as "ENTERTAINMENT"? Now this film doesn't show the abuse, which is rare for Hollywood, but it's brought up and the characters deal with it as an off handed comment by an out-of-control female teenager. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Did the stepfather do it or not...it's a Hollywood film, what do you think. The fact that Hollywood felt this was an exciting subject and would "add" to this film angers me greatly. And as long as people rent/buy movies that "entertain" us by adding rapes, molestings, stabbings, stalkings, beatings and verbal abuse to females, Hollywood will keep pumping them out.
I waited a long time to see this film, which finally came on one of the premium channels we have. Didn't read any reviews ahead of time so I wouldn't be given the ending by mistake. I'm truly sorry I did that.
What could have been a very funny film turned out to be yet another Hollywood "piece of crap" that couldn't resist putting something about sexual abuse in the script to "ENTERTAIN" us! If you think I'm over reacting on this subject, next time you go to your local video store, take a serious look around. Hollywood thinks it's entertaining! I think it's morally irresponsible!!

Hopelessly Uneven
Lindsay Lohan received most of the blame for the critical and box-office failure of "Georgia Rule", but it really wasn't fair at all. Her performance, as a promiscuous, damaged teenager, is fine. And her seasoned co-stars, Jane Fonda, Felicity Huffman, and Dermot Mulroney, are all excellent in their respective roles.
What spoils the film is that it's just hopelessly uneven. It constantly shifts in tone from breezy comedy to melodrama. Most of the blame should probably be assigned to director Gary Marshall, who has made similar errors with films before (like "Exit to Eden", which couldn't decide if it was a goofy comedy or an erotic romance).
The shifts in tone make it almost impossible for the viewer to really sympathize with the characters. During the comedic scenes, all three generations of women (Fonda's "Georgia", Huffman's "Lili" and Lohan's "Rachel") draw laughs for their harsh bravado, which, although amusing, is never likable. And during the most melodramatic scenes, the characters all come across as hopelessly damaged and pathetic.
"Georgia Rule" is an unfortunate case of a Hollywood film squandering a great cast.

truly fantastic
I truly enjoyed Georgia Rule. It's not a comedy, it's not a romance, and it's not a love story (for the most part) What is it? Well, it's just a solid story about a young teenage woman trying to find her way in life, and deal with all the frustrations and difficulties of moving forward. That's what I got out of it anyway. Life can be hard sometimes, and during those hard times, we have to deal with the things life throws at us, no matter how crappy or difficult it is for us to deal with it. Leaving the past behind is an important lesson, and the storyline in this movie will show you that.
Now, the main part of the storyline in the film is whether the teenage girl is being honest when she claims some horrible things happened to her in the past. It's up to us to figure out whether there's any truth to those claims. This film seriously deserves a lot of credit for not only telling a great story, but showing us how important it is to be honest with our feelings, or we may never know what honesty is TRULY like.
I really don't think what our opinion on Lindsay Lohan might be should have *anything* to do with her magnificent performance in the movie. This is my first experience seeing her on film, and I was moved. She's a lot better than many people give her credit for. Her acting skills were believable, and her emotions were real in the movie as well, and many of us (man or woman) can relate to those feelings.
Hurricanes, as we've seen, can wreak serious havoc when they strike populated areas. We've never had control over them before, but one researcher thinks they could be broken up with F-4 fighter jets.
