Georgia Rule | Ratings & Reviews

"Certain words should be reserved for special occasions. "Abysmal" is one of them, and Georgia Rule is as special as such occasions get..."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"No offense to either of them, but Georgia Rule suggests an Ingmar Bergman script as directed by Jerry Lewis. The subject matter is grim, the relationships are gnarled, the worldview is bleak, and, at any given moment, you suspect someone's going to be hit with a pie..."

VarietyVariety

"And so it goes, leaving an awful taste and the inevitable question: Jane Fonda made a comeback to do dreck like this and "Monster-in-Law?"..."

Premiere MagazinePremiere Magazine

"What I thought would be a sweet, light-hearted chick-flick about three generations of mothers and daughters is, in fact, a mildly disturbing story about molestation. The subject matter isn't what's disturbing so much as the semi-comical way it has been dealt with. Lohan is Rachel, an overtly sexual and troublesome teen with a "screw you" attitude..."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"In the acting contest that ensues, each star comes off reasonably well, though, surprisingly, Lohan (who had well-publicized emotional problems on the set) wins out over Huffman's comic drunk and Fonda's leathery evocation of her father, Henry, in "On Golden Pond"..."

"Georgia Rule isn’t serious enough for a drama and not funny enough for a comedy..."

Film ThreatFilm Threat

"Like its much-troubled young leading lady, Georgia Rule is a film with an identity crisis. Writer Mark Andrus's story starts out as a broad family-based comedy-drama complete with slapstick humour, but suddenly takes on a more dark, disturbing tone. Strangely, director Garry Marshall still tries to play it for laughs (evidenced by John Debney's sugary score), but the audience's bright early guffaws are replaced by nervous giggles..."
