Oh Lindsay Lohan, where has your talent gone?

It's a comedy about sexual abuse, or at least it tries to be, and fails at with flying colors...
Apr 14, 2008
The kind of film your parents will cite as the reason they don't go to movies anymore.
Jan 2, 2008
The confused script trades in such heavy topics as alcoholism and child sexual abuse, but every dramatic scene plays like one of those schmaltzy Happy Days moments that inevitably drew a big 'Awwwwww!' from the studio audience.

Top CriticLohan acts out in muddled mother-daughter comedy.
Oct 31, 2007
A fluffy comedy about a young woman who was repeatedly raped by her stepfather.
Sep 14, 2007
Rarely awful, Garry Marshall's films consistently exhibit a veneer of banality, and Georgia Rule is no exception.

Since when did sexual abuse find its way into a comedy?I guess when it's part of a screenplay written by Mark Andrus and directed by Garry Marshall ("Pretty Woman").
Jun 10, 2007
Careless and predictable, Georgia Rule offers up the abuse victim's "sexy" acting out as alternately beguiling and blameworthy.
May 30, 2007
[An] unruly, often bracing misfire.
May 23, 2007
The subject matter in Georgia Rule--sexual abuse and alcoholism, for starters--lends itself to drama, but Garry Marshall's tone deaf direction and Mark Andrus' sloppy script play it as comedy.
May 22, 2007
The film is unforgivable.
May 19, 2007
The only people who would be attracted to actually watching this film aren’t going to be able to watch it anyway.
May 19, 2007
A family drama that flies all over the place and does not do justice to the serious ethical issues it raises.
May 17, 2007
...it's ultimately difficult not to be drawn into the soap opera-ish exploits of the central characters.
May 17, 2007
If there's not a dry eye in the house when Lilly and Rachel finally hug, it's only because audiences will have cleared out by that point.
May 16, 2007
Time for a new book by Jane Fonda, and this time I expect a full chapter on how she got snookered into doing Georgia Rule.
