Better Late Then Never

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Compelling family drama-comedy, great acting by all three leading actresses (Felicity Huffman, Lindsey Lohan and Jane Fona), entertainment combined with depth. Offers food for thought as well as laughter, just perfect.

A troubled teen is sent to stay with her grandmother, and they bond and learn from each other. While there are tons of movies that could be described by that tagline, Georgia Rule is perhaps the best representation of the "troubled teen at Granny's" genre.Perfectly cast Lindsay Lohan comes to stay at grandmother Jane Fonda's house for the summer. She's a horrendous troublemaker, with sex, drugs, and booze as her extracurricular activities, and her mother, Felicity Huffman, doesn't know what to do with her. At the end of her rope, Felicity takes her to her estranged mother's house, hoping the strictness will straighten her out. Of course, throughout the movie, the ladies will bond, cry, learn, and grow. That's how these movies work! This one is great to watch if you've never seen a film in this genre, or if you're in the mood for an estrogen fest with a little eye candy. Pour the mimosas for a bunch of your girlfriends, or for you and your mom, and get ready for the classiest cheesy movie of the summer. Look out for Dermot Mulroney, Cary Elwes, Garrett Hedlund, Hector Elizondo, and Laurie Metcalf in the supporting cast of this heartwarming Garry Marshall flick.

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.

--too many movies that are called serious: this , that , are serious because the makers of the movie take themselves seriously: really really really seriously. So what. Its when the movie makes the subject move the fan...that causes a movie to be a serious movie....those people who attend to making a serious movie by taking themselves seriously or that they try to draw leviathan out with a spoon the avid haters of fans they ya ya are too much too often....not here. rejoice. you are this.
