Goofs

On the first morning Rachel is in her grandmother's house, her grandmother is having her breakfast alone. The scene clearly shows a book with a blue picture on the cover kept on the corner of the table. Just then Rachel enters with the very same book in her hand and keeps it on the same spot.

User Reviews

A dramatic picture into the different the sides of family life and trust.

Lindsay Lohan presented a different character approach where she played an amatory teen raised in California and sent to live with her pious grandmother for the sake of her redemption. This movie not only enhances the struggles between drinking and growing up too fast, but it shows the love in a family. This movie would play mind games with you which would inspire you to love each character. Felicity Huffman, played Lindsay Lohan's distressed mother and slowly throughout the movie it is seen how closely alike they are. Georgia Rule was a new take on movies and if you are in for a new turn of adventure and occasional comedy kicks, Georgia Rule is it.
