This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This was a great story that hits close to home for way more people than we think. I think all the actors and actresses did a great job portraying the evil of the world as well as showing the good. A real tear jerk-er that shows a dysfunctional screwed up family who pull together and beat the evil with good old fashioned family values and love. I wonder if this isn't some of Lindsay Lohan true life. Someone who was born innocent and robbed of that innocence by the evil money grubbing sex addicts in the Hollywood under world. I am pleasantly surprised that Hollywood took this story and shed light on it for the world to see. When grown men sexually abuse young women or even boys you are robbing them of there innocence. I hate Jane Fonda and her liberal Hollywood views but I give her kudos for playing Georgia.

"He abused me!""He didn't abuse me, sorry." "Wait, yes he did!" "No, he didn't, I was just looking for attention."(huge plot twist spoiler alert) "Actually, he did!" (what a jaw dropper)The EndAnd the script and characters were awful too. Though if you like blow jobs, bitches and complete apathy towards characters, give it a shot. Oh and don't tell me I "don't get it", it's a pretty damn simple movie. 2/10, would not recommend if it was the only cure for blindness.

I was mislead like many others by the trailers. I thought it was going to be much more funny. This was definitely more drama than comedy. When I heard that it was based in Idaho I felt like I should go watch, just to see. I really wasn't sure I was going to like it because I am not one to like movies that they base in Idaho (i.e. Nepolean Dynamite). I am from Idaho...born and raised and so it sometimes feels like they are portraying us as strictly rednecks. Now don't get me wrong...being a redneck is never a bad thing, speaking from experience. It usually ends up being frustrating to see how they think we would act though. I watched this film and really enjoyed it. We weren't the backwards people we sometimes get made out to be. I thought it was very nicely done. It was nice to see that they showed the small town Idaho atmosphere.I only have one issue really with the movie. After I watched the DVD I watched the special features, like anyone normally does. I wasn't surprised to see that it hadn't been filmed at all in Idaho. Now maybe this seems like nitpicking but they should have done a bit more research on the area the town was suppose to be located in, and the actual amount of time it would take to go on the trip that Mulronneys character takes as well as the one that Hedlund and Lohan take. The town in the film is suppose to be located near Wallace, Idaho. Wallace is in northern Idaho, towards Kellogg and Coeur 'dAlene. That area is very different than the scenery that was shown in the film. There was too much sage brush and not enough pine trees. There is actually no sage brush near Wallace. Southern Idaho area near Boise has sage brush. Being what we call the high desert we have lots of that there.Also when the veterinarian (Dermott Mulronney) travels to Rexburg, Idaho, it was a bit far-fetched for me to believe that he made that trip as short as he made it sound like it would be. That trip is about 450 miles one way, that's the easiest way to get there. That trip would take about 7 hours one way. So for him to leave Hull and get to Rexburg in what he made it sound was just a couple of hours is really hard to believe. As well as the trip that Hedlund and Lohan make...would have been around 14 hours of just driving. I know that there aren't to many people outside of Idaho who would know that. But we do watch movies here in Idaho and when you base a movie here...chances are we are definitely going to watch it. I was disappointed with that part.Other than that small issue I thought that Marshall and the actors that he had did and very nice job. I was pleasantly surprised and went out later and bought the movie!

I liked the 2007 bomb Georgia Rule for one main reason. The actors in this film make it come alive. Not Dermot Mulroney or Cary Elwes, surprisingly. Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan, and Felicity Huffman. These are three talented actresses. Mostly Lindsay Lohan and Jane Fonda. But Huffman is fine too. Now I will admit this. But I do like Lindsay Lohan even today. I'll admit that she obviously hasn't made the best decisions in life but I do like her. I like her more than Hillary Duff. Cause at least she has some talent. and Jane Fonda, who could blame me? Why else would I enjoy Monster in law? Everyone hated it. I didn't cause of Fonda.The film is about a troubled teen(obviously played by Lindsay Lohan)who is being taken down to Idaho to live with her strict Grandmother(played by Jane Fonda). While down there, the grandmother gets her a job. At a town festival, she tells her boss(played by Dermot Mulroney) that her step father(played by Cary Elwes) and her had sex. So the grandmother calls the mother(played by Felicity Huffman) and she comes down to live with her. And she starts to drink again.Alright, well, the plot is nothing too special. Though I was very interested by the film. Oh I forgot another part of the plot. Lohan's character also meets a Mormon and once she has sex with him, he tells his girlfriend and her friends start to spy on them.Lohan is funny in this film. There is a scene where these teenage girls are spying on them and Lohan goes"Now if you don't leave us alone, I will find all of your boyfriends and f*ck them stupid". I laughed at this film. I was entertained. Though it definitely isn't art, I still think it's worth seeing.Georgia Rule: B
