Georgia Rule (2007)
A troubled teen is sent to stay with her grandmother, and they bond and learn from each other. While there are tons of movies that could be described by that tagline, Georgia Rule is perhaps the best representation of the “troubled teen at Granny’s” genre.
Perfectly cast Lindsay Lohan comes to stay at grandmother Jane Fonda’s house for the summer. She’s a horrendous troublemaker, with sex, drugs, and booze as her extracurricular activities, and her mother, Felicity Huffman, doesn’t know what to do with her. At the end of her rope, Felicity takes her to her estranged mother’s house, hoping the strictness will straighten her out. Of course, throughout the movie, the ladies will bond, cry, learn, and grow. That’s how these movies work!
This one is great to watch if you’ve never seen a film in this genre, or if you’re in the mood for an estrogen fest with a little eye candy. Pour the mimosas for a bunch of your girlfriends, or for you and your mom, and get ready for the classiest cheesy movie of the summer. Look out for Dermot Mulroney, Cary Elwes, Garrett Hedlund, Hector Elizondo, and Laurie Metcalf in the supporting cast of this heartwarming Garry Marshall flick.
