Georgia Rule is a 2007 American black comedy-drama film directed by Garry Marshall from a screenplay by Mark Andrus. Starring Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan and Felicity Huffman, the film follows a rebellious young woman (Lohan) who is sent to spend the summer with her grandmother (Fonda) when her frustrated mother (Huffman) can't control her unruly behavior. The film also features Dermot Mulroney, Cary Elwes, Garrett Hedlund, Laurie Metcalf and Héctor Elizondo in supporting roles. The original film score was composed by John Debney.

Georgia Rule was theatrically released in the United States on May 11, 2007, by Universal Pictures. The production of the film came to media attention when a warning letter from Morgan Creek Productions CEO James G. Robinson to Lohan was leaked online on The Smoking Gun; in it, he criticized her heavy partying and lateness on set. Georgia Rule was widely panned by critics, but the lead cast (Fonda, Lohan and Huffman) was praised for their performances. Considered a commercial failure, the film grossed US$25 million against a $20 million budget.
