Directed by Garry Marshall (Beaches, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride), GEORGIA RULE is a film about the power of redemption, freedom in forgiveness and the unbreakable bonds of motherhood. The perfect gift for Mother’s Day and for every woman in your life, GEORGIA RULE is available to own and rent on DVD from Monday 25th February.
Three generations of top actresses - two-time Academy Award® winner* Jane Fonda (Monster-In-Law), Lindsay Lohan (Monster-In-Law) and Golden Globe® Winner** Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives) - unite in the heartwarming GEORGIA RULE, a film that explores the complicated and humorous relationships between these willful mothers and daughters. For one very surprising summer which will be filled with love, romance, rebellion and revelation, these three very different women are living under one roof and under one rule: Georgia's (Fonda).
Rebellious teenager Rachel (Lohan) screams, swears, drinks and is - in a word - uncontrollable. With her latest car crash, Rachel has broken the final rule in mom Lilly's (Huffman) San Francisco home. With nowhere else to take the impulsive and rambunctious girl, Lilly hauls her daughter to the one place she swore she'd never return...her own mother's Idaho farm.
Matriarch Georgia (Fonda) is not your typical sweet and doting grandmother. She lives her life by a number of unbreakable rules, demanding anyone who shares her home do the same. God comes first, and hard work comes a very close second. Now saddled with raising her rebellious young granddaughter, it will require every ounce of her patience, love and care to understand Rachel's fury.
But as Rachel succumbs to her summer of misery and shakes up the tiny Mormon town that is her new home, Georgia notices something is changing within her granddaughter. Given structure and responsibilities, Rachel is letting her guard down and learning compassion...especially for her mother. Her journey will lead all three women to revelations of buried family secrets and an understanding that - regardless of what happens in life - the ties that bind family, and especially those between mothers and daughters, can never be broken.
With an outstanding cast, superb direction and cinematography and a wonderful heartfelt and funny story, GEORGIA RULE will take you on a journey that is inspiring and heart-warming and that will touch your heart and make you laugh all at the same time. The best gift this Mother’s Day GEORGIA RULE is available to own and rent on DVD from Monday 25th February.
