I have always categorized Lindsay Lohan in a group of “fluff actors”. I do enjoy their movies, and I even own a good pile of Lohan movies. I predicted she would make a big hit way back when she did the Parent Trap remake. Now shes all grow’d up (in more areas than one) and starring in real movies. Mostly fluff. I got blasted by a number of fans of A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby said she showed some promise. Here’s hoping.
Cinematical gives us the plot:
The movie wrapped and we get to see Jane Fonda on the screen once again. The premise sounds typical for a movie, but man, I wish it was true. Rule follows Rachel (Lohan), an uncontrollable teen who is brought to her grandmother’s house by her dysfunctional mother Lilly, played by Felicity Huffman. There, she has to live under Grandma Georgia’s rules, and exist in a small, Mormon Idaho town.
Now in an ironic twist of art imitating life, perhaps Lohan herself is taking home a lesson or two that her character is learning in this movie. And some of those lessons can be learned in her own off screen behaviour AND acting. To put her in a movie with Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman? I hope she picks up a tip or twelve off of these ladies.
I’m beginning to change my opinion about Lohan (which wasn’t all that bad to begin with). Maybe she will mature into a classy actor despite her past.
