Features: DVD, English, Spanish, French, Dolby, Dolby Digital (5.1)
Three generations of top actresses - two-time Academy Award winner Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan and Felicity Huffman - unite in a film from director Garry Marshall about the power of redemption, freedom in forgiveness and the unbreakable bonds of motherhood. When Lilly (Huffman) can no longer handle her rebellious teenage daughter, Rachel (Lohan), she takes her to the one place she swore she'd never return'her mother's house. For one very surprising summer, these three very different women are living under one roof and under one rule: Georgia's (Fonda).
"Hector Elizondo, who has appeared in all 15 of Marshall's features, turns up as a Basque rancher and adds a bit of sparkle." Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer
"[The film] serves and spins, taking its predictable plot in some surprising directions...The movie really belongs to Ms. Fonda and Ms. Lohan..." The New York Times

 | Georgia Rule - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/24/2007 8:31 PM | |
It doesn't help that Lohan's latest film, Georgia Rule, endured documented production delays due in part to her childish on-set antics. And now that we're able to see the finished product, we realize the star plays... well, a coarse version of the pseudo-diva we've grown accustomed to. Without judging whether her scandalous exploits are accurate, it's difficult to hear Lohan utter lines like, "You can't stop what is done to you. You can only survive it," without applying such words of wisdom to her well-publicized, off-camera existence....read the full review |

"[The film] serves and spins, taking its predictable plot in some surprising directions....The movie really belongs to Ms. Fonda and Ms. Lohan..." 05/11/2007 p.E12ReelViews 6 of 10
The typical Garry Marshall film (Pretty Woman, Raising Helen) can be classified by a few words: contrived, insipid, and predictable. Georgia Rule, while not the worst work Marshall has done, is a limp misfire. There are moments during the course of the movie when it looks like it might be headed in an interesting direction, but those hopes go up in smoke during the last act as everything aligns itself for the tearful, feel-good ending. The central problem with the movie isn't that it deals with several hot-button topics, but that it addresses them with a shocking lack of emotional honesty...Marshall is a crafter of fairy tales and trusting him with material that demands a darker tone and a defter hand is a mistake...Georgia 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. - James Berardinelli
