In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Georgia Rule (2007)
A drama directed by Garry Marshall, starring Jane Fonda and Lindsay Lohan.
A mother sends her uncontrollable daughter to live with the strict grandmother, only to return and live there too. Meanwhile, the daughter is making accusations that her step-father had sex with her and the mother has a drinking problem.
I'm reminded of Black Snake Moan by the premise of this film (slut in the country wants to have sex with every man she meets). This one involved far more family dynamics and doubt over who was telling the truth. The characters were stereotypical in contrast to the complex plot. The style and production value both screamed "new movie". I'm rating it poor because I just didn't like it.
