Georgia Rule — 

Honestly, I only saw the last twenty minutes of this film on a plane. But that was enough to show me how horribly wasted these actresses were in a muddied, befuddled script! It seems to me that there may have been to many hands in this pot - no clear vision, no strong direction... too many voices striving for different ends.

This mess surprised me, because huffmn, Fonda, and even Lohan are all talented actors with a pretty strong history of good films (except for maybe Fonda's Monst-in-Law...). And Gary Marshall is an experienced filmmaker with a good eye, but... something went wrong here.

This would most likely have gone better with less money and more focus on allowing the characters created to tell the story more naturally. It just came across as contrived and forced. This was the most painful twenty minutes of film I have seen since the Coen Bros.' The Ladykillers. Avoid at all costs.
