Georgia Does Not Rule

Here's just a quick post to let y'all know that the film "Georgia Rule" is a terrible terrible movie. Don't bother going to see it...especially don't bother paying money to see it. Granted I didn't really read anything about it before seeing a pre-screening last night, but I was under the assumption that it was a comedy...some sort of feel good thing where three generations of women in a family work out their differences and come together with lots of laughter and merriment for the audience. Um...not quite. It's sort of like that, but add in a really bitchy Lindsey Lohan who was basically playing herself in the movie...and then add in a story line about Lohan's character having been sexually molested by her stepfather (who happens to be Westley from Princess Bride....he's not supposed to be the bad guy!!! Even if he has added a few pounds since his "asssss yoooouuuuuu wiiiiiissssshhhhhh" days). Anyway, the whole thing was terrible...even though I will fully admit that there were some scenes that were funny, and that kept me engaged. But really, I could only stand so much of the weird acting, editing and overall strange handling of the sexual abuse storyline. I went with Jonah to see the film, and we both agreed that overall the stepfather totally got away with being a skeezy bad guy and wasn't even punished for his crimes! In fact it seemed like the movie was placing the blame on the women in the film for the stepfather's criminal acts!!! Not cool. Really, really not cool!!!

So yeah, don't go see this movie.
