Georgia Rule - Available on DVD

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I went to see “Georgia Rule,” but with Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman, I thought it couldn’t be bad. What I got instead was an annoying movie with the confused director and a miscast actress. Gary Marshall (“Pretty Woman,” “Runaway Bride,” and “Princess Diaries 1 & 2”) doesn’t seem to know what kind of movie he wanted – a comedy with some drama or a drama with some comedy. In any case, the movie is uneven in tone and the light and dark don’t work together. And give me a break! Lindsey Lohan playing a bad girl? Is that art imitating life or life imitating art? She is a total distraction for the story Marshall is trying to tell. Save your money and rent it from Netflix. (5/11/07)
