      Critics Consensus

      Comedic and dramatic in all the wrong places, Georgia Rule is a confused dramedy that wastes the talents of its fine cast.

      Blanca A It was so uncomfortable to see how they handled such a delicate matter as child abuse. Very disturbing and distasteful! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Jon L One of Lindsay Lohan's best performances. Should've been nominated for an Oscar for this, that's how good she was! Great movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Hayley M I really enjoyed this film as a teenager! I liked the small town charm and the scenery! As an adult I realised how devastating the story line is... well acted Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Tracey B Loved this movie. Very emotional and tackle some serious issues. Amazing acting from all three leads Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Paige S Quirky but a cute chick flick Mother daughter movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Jeffrey P B I don't know why people are confused by the story or see this film as atrocious. It's certainly territory that has been covered before, the acting is good, and it even has it's humorous moments. It does lag a bit at times, but overall not that bad. Serviceable Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Melissa Anderson Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 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. Dec 3, 2007 Full Review Rex Reed Observer 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. May 16, 2007 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Georgia Rule reminds as to why Lohan, unlike some of Hollywood's other troublemakers of the late noughties, has been missed. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News The actors are sabotaged by Marshall and screenwriter Mark Andrus, who make the fatal decision of trying to water down its grim story with forced comedy. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Heather Huntington ReelzChannel.com Oh Lindsay Lohan, where has your talent gone? Rated: 6/10 Aug 23, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
