Plot Outlines:
Rebellious teenager Rachel (Lohan) screams, swears, drinks and is-in a word-uncontrollable. With her latest car crash, Rachel has broken the final rule in mom Lily's (Golden Globe winner Huffman) San Francisco home. With nowhere else to take the impulsive and rambunctious girl, Lily hauls her daughter to the one place she swore she'd never return...her own mother's Idaho farm. Matriarch Georgia (two-time Oscar® winner Fonda) is not your typical sweet and doting grandmother. She lives her life by a number of unbreakable rules, demanding anyone who shares her home do the same-God comes first and hard work comes a very close second. Now saddled with raising the young woman, it will require each patient breath she takes to understand Rachel's fury. But as Rachel succumbs to her summer of misery and shakes up the tiny Mormon town, Georgia notices something is changing within her granddaughter. Given structure and responsibilities, Rachel is letting her guard down and learning compassion...especially for her mother. Her journey will lead all three women to revelations of buried family secrets and an understanding that-regardless what happens-the ties that bind can never be broken.
Trivia
Lindsay Lohan received a warning letter from the studio's CEO James G. Robinson (Morgan Creek Productions) for her lack of professionalism. The letter was later released to the media and directly noted Lohan's "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" conduct and went on to say her actions were those of a "spoiled child" which "has endangered the quality of this picture." Robinson also threatened to sue the 20-year-old star if she continued to delay production.
During a break in production Lindsay Lohan and several guests were invited to Disneyland after hours for a photo shoot. Lohan and guests reportedly arrived intoxicated and were abusive to the Disneyland staff. Managers and mid-level executives were immediately notified and maintained continuous surveillance to maintain guest and staff safety. The poor behavior, intoxication, and fighting later escalated and caused the Disneyland management to cut the promotional visit short. Disneyland management in Burbank opted not to pursue an intense public relations damage control campaign as numerous verified reports surfaced and an internal Disneyland investigation verified the events did play out as reported. Lohan returned to the production without reporting the incident which angered Morgan Creek Productions secondary to concern over a potential box office backlash.
