Review of Georgia Rule

Mostly watchable "comedy-drama", though not all that much comedy. Set in a small town in Idaho (which in my mind was one of those flat states, but there seems to be a lot of mountains). California-dwelling woman drives back to small hometown to dump wayward teenage daughter on her own mother, with whom she doesn't get on, for the summer. Grandmother is strict and believes in discipline etc, grand-daughter doesn't - could be a relatively straight conflict of wills comedy. In fact it has themes of paedophilia, child sex abuse (oops a bit of a spoiler there), alcoholism and drug addiction. 

Not many laughs, and a narrative structure that lurches from crisis to crisis rather than building up a plot and characters.

Watched on Netflix.
