The Women centres on a group of gossipy, high society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and haunting fashion shows. The sweet, happily wedded Mary Haines finds her marriage in trouble when shop girl Crystal Allen gets her hooks into Mary's man. Naturally, this situation becomes the hot talk amongst Mary's catty friends, especially the scandalmonger Sylvia Fowler, who has little room to talk she finds herself on a train to Reno and headed for divorce right after Mary.

GEORGIA RULE

Three generations of top actresses unite in a film from director, Garry Marshall (Beaches, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride) about the power of redemption, freedom in forgiveness and unbreakable bonds of motherhood.

Rebellious teenager, Rachel (Lindsay Lohan) screams, swears, drinks and is in a word uncontrollable. With her latest car crash, Rachel has broken the final rule in mum Lilys (Felicity Huffman) San Francisco home. With nowhere else to take the impulsive and rambunctious girl, Lily hauls her daughter to the one place to which she swore shed never returnher own mothers Idaho farm.

Matriarch, Georgia (Jane 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 to 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 Rachels 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 grandmother. 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.
