Moving On
When Claire (Jane Fonda) & Evelyn (Lily Tomlin) reconnect at their dear old friend’s (Joyce) funeral, memories from nearly 50 years ago resurface & a plot to murder Joyce’s husband, Howard (Malcolm McDowell), begin to formulate. This senior citizen revenge comedy is perfect for the AARP crowd. It’s told realistically & humorously from the point of view of today’s aging individuals & how these older people relate to the younger generations & their real world realities. Fonda & Tomlin are hilarious as the plot carefully deals with some sensitive topics. Richard Roundtree is in the supporting cast & plays an ex. For me, this was the perfect film to preview on one’s 72nd birthday. Check it out & enjoy.
Alien gives it 3½ “guns, knives, & poison” stars out of 4.
