Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Self-described misanthrope Elle Reid has her protective bubble burst when her 18-year-old granddaughter, Sage, shows up needing help. The two of them go on a day-long journey that causes Elle to come to terms with her past and Sage to confront her future.”

Review: There was no poster immediately available for my review. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated.

Trailer: B

Review: There are a lot of funny moments in this trailer and they are all featuring Lily Tomlin. That front-loaded concept may be enough to woo her fans to the theater, but the film seems to be rather simplistic in its approach, which might turn off most viewers.

Oscar Prospects:

Lily Tomlin has earned a lot of buzz for this performance, but a Best Actress nomination doesn’t seem plausible at this juncture. She’ll have better luck at the Emmys.
