'Georgia' Screeches
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Domineering grandmother Georgia (Jane Fonda) has driven her daughter Lilly (Felicity Huffman) to drink. Worse, Lilly's second husband (Cary Elwes) may or may not have molested Lilly's daughter, Rachel (Lindsay Lohan). Rachel, a hellraising San Francisco bad girl, is forced to spend the summer with Georgia in small town Idaho, where the truth comes out. Written by Mark Andrus (As Good as It Gets), the movie is quite a bit smarter than some of director Garry Marshall's other weepies (Beaches, The Other Sister, etc.), and Marshall's comic touches make the material bearable. But his big, happy, clumsy style ultimately isn't suited for finely tuned melodrama. The performances are fine, though Fonda has surprisingly little to do. Dermot Mulroney plays the hangdog local doctor. AskMen.com: Georgia Rule
