Georgia Rule

In Georgia Rule, Rachael ( Lindsay Lohan) is being sent to her grandmother, Georgia (Jane Fonda) by her mother Lily( Felicity Huffmann) because she has become uncontrollable. It is hoped that Georgia with her definite set of rules will be able to tame her granddaughter. What noone expects is the revealation made by Rachael, and how it affects her family. I went to see this movie with no preconceived ideas. These type of movies where the daughter is sent to the grandmother to be sorted out, can be a bid dodgy and predictable. The movie is both a comedy and a drama. In this instance, the issue the movie deals with, is very emotional and the humour relieved some of the uncomfortableness some viewers may feel when watching. I did enjoy it and it certainly got better as the movie went along. I wouldn't take a male to watch, it definately won't be their thing.
Only read below if you are happy to know the 'issue' I've been writing about.

Rating : 4/5

POST MOVIE DISCUSSION
I found this movie very clever. The way Rachael was behaving was initially uncomfortable to watch and unbelievable. As the movie progresses and you understood that she really was a child with no partental structure with the only regular attention being sexual abuse. I loved the relationship she had with the vet and how he would not lower his morals despite all her attempts to seduce him. She also learned that you can have a relationship with a man without it being sexual. Felicity Huffmann was fantastic in her role as Rachaels mother. The confusion and guilt she felt was portrayed excellently and of course she had the difficult question all mothers would be faced with "Who do you believe? " I would say that I would always believe my daughter but if she continually lied I guess you would be in a dilemma. Many more issues could be discussed and I would love to discuss them with someone.

Too Long since last post

Wow I can't believe its been that long since my last blog. Life is very busy and thanks to a friend I realize its been too long. I have seen a few movies but only a few have impressed. I like reviewing the oscar nominated movies and actors, especially the winners. As we all know the Departed won the best film. I found the movie different. I didn't like the ending I felt like it was an easy way to finish the film. Otherwise the movie was enjoyable and would be enjoyed by most. One of the worst films I have seen in a while was the Queen. Helen Mirren was not convincing in her portrayal of the Queen. It felt like a telemovie. Was the movie popular because it was about Diana and how poorly the situation was handled by the Monarchy? I believe so? This is a movie I would not recommend. Enough of the general chit chat I start reviewing now.
