Georgia Rule movie review

Many times you go into a film with certain expectations and are let down; however, once in awhile you get the reverse.  I had little hope for Georgia Rule which I expected to be nothing more than your average chick flick.  Imagine my shock when I found a surprisingly intelligent film with strong performances from all three of the its leading actresses.

Rachel (Linday Lohan) is driving everyone nuts.  Unable to control her daughter, Lily (Felicity Huffman) ships her off to her grandmother, Georgia (Jane Fonda) in a small Iowa town, hoping some of the sternness, which rubbed her wrong in her own childhood, might work for Rachel.

Her arrival instantly effects the sleepy town and her rebellious nature chafes under the strict control of her grandmother, the animosity of the local girls (Christine Lakin, Chelse Swain, Mandy Medlin), the interest of a young Morman (Garrett Hedlund) and the fatherly advice of an old friend of her mother (Dermot Mulroney).

An EX-cruciating Experience

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: The Ex
  • IMDb: link

Nothing tires me out and makes me more bored than a lazy film that relies completely on formulaic plotlines and predictable story.  The Ex is just such a film, and not even the casting of some truly funny people can save this film from itself.  It’s just a stupid, boring, excruciating bore.

The Ex?  Well, at least we know the same amount of time and energy that went in to making this turkey was also used to come up with the title.  “The Waste” or “The Crap” or “The Disappointment” would all have been (slightly more) appropriate titles as well.

Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) is a nice guy who’s just never been able to hold down a stable job.  Now that his wife Sofia (Amanda Peet) has just delivered their first child Tom decides to leave New York and take Sofia’s father (Charles Grodin) up on his offer to work at his ad agency in Ohio.
