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.

Overboard (1987)

A romantic comedy directed by Garry Marshall, starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
A poor carpenter is hired by a rich woman who treats him badly. The rich woman falls off her boat and is picked up as an unidentified person. The carpenter then convinces her that she is his wife.
The focus here was on Goldie Hawn's acting. She plays 2 entirely different roles in this film. Plot, characters, blah blah blah... It would have just been o.k., but because of the leading lady's performance, it gets a good review.
