Jane Fonda Rules

I have no idea why I subjected my eyes and brain to a film like Georgia Rule. It's possible that I just can't get enough of Jane Fonda. She's the main reason I decided to watch the film, really. I also had high hopes for Lindsay Lohan. I'm not a die-hard Lindsay fan--far from it, actually, but I acknowledge that the girl has talent. Also, the director, Garry Marshall, has directed some good movies in the past. So, I was optimistic that his newest offering would be entertaining. I had high hopes.

Well, so much for hope. I'm sure some people found this film entertaining. I was entertained at times. I particularly enjoyed seeing Dermot Mulroney on the big screen. Fonda and Huffman delivered good performances, and Lindsay was just . . . well, playing herself. Seriously, I'd appreciate a little effort next time, Lindsay. Anyway, for the most part, this film felt like a complete waste of time. It deals with a controversial topic that requires special handling. In fact, if handled just the right way, the results could have been very different. Marshall was clearly in way over his head with this project.

Fortunately, there is some good news. Jane Fonda appeared on different talk shows to promote her new movie. Yes, thanks to Georgie Rule, we get to see more of Fonda for a few weeks. Below is a clip of Fonda on the Colbert Report. Priceless!
