When teen troublemaker Rachel (Lohan) pushes her alcoholic mother, Lilly (Huffman), over the edge, it becomes the responsibility of her grandmother, Georgia (Fonda), to set things straight. But even getting from San Francisco to Georgia's home in Mormon country proves difficult, with Rachel literally jumping out of the car and flirtatiously hitching a ride from handsome but guarded stranger Simon (Mulroney). No one in town is ready for Rachel, whose manic sexuality and screw-you attitude is a stark contrast to the strict Mormon values most of the local residents live by. Rachel's arrival and drama-filled stay force everyone she meets to question their way of life. Meanwhile, Georgia force-feeds Rachel the stern structure her own mother was too inebriated to offer, and while Rachel adamantly resists at first, she slowly starts to change, thanks to her grandmother's tough love.

An enjoyable American romantic comedy from the director of the classic Pretty Woman. Trying to establish a relationship between generations is already a cliché, but that doesn't make this film anything mundane. A great cast (especially Jane Fonda) and a beautiful soundtrack. Overall, this is a slightly above average 65%.

Such a perfectly done movie and such a divinely creepy Lindsay that I can't give it less than 4 stars!
