Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Tamplin's is just dialing this in , her acting was hammy at times. The script was light and missed the opportunity of an interesting premise.

Elle (Lily Tomlin) breaks up with her girlfriend of four months Olivia (Judy Greer). Elle is a feminist writer. She lost her college job and is flat broke. Then her granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) shows up. Sage is pregnant and needs money for the scheduled abortion later that day. The two women go on a quest. There is the idiot father of the baby, Elle's friends, her ex-husband Karl (Sam Elliott), and finally in desperation Sage's mother Judy (Marcia Gay Harden). The day-long odyssey uncovers past conflicts and family dysfunctions.These are wonderful women. They really inhabit these roles. Lily Tomlin is perfect and Julia Garner holds her own. There are plenty of outstanding supporting actor. Harden and Greer are wonderful. Sam Elliott shines in his one section. This has a breezy comedic tone within the tougher family drama. The laughs are small and could be bigger.

Where was the Oscar nomination for Lily Tomlin as best actress here. Wow, was she ever passed up for this.This no-nonsense academic grandmother who is way ahead of her time gave Tomlin the opportunity to present one of her best performances ever. Ascerbic, to the point, but the hip lesbian grandmother pulled no punches here.The film is devoted to Tomlin trying to pay for an abortion for her granddaughter. It depicts their various adventures in this pursuit and culminates in one scene where Tomlin beats up the father of the child.Grieving the loss of her partner Violet and ending of a relationship with a much younger girl will only complicate matters but Tomlin's character has the mettle to carry on.

I find it funny that whenever a movie is about controversial subjects in which we have learned to have tolerance for, then it automatically gets great reviews from the critics. I guess none of them want to say the wrong thing and have groups protesting them. Therefore, if a movie is about the correct subject, it doesn't matter how low it's budget is or how bad the acting or direction is, it will still get great reviews. I am a little braver than that. This movie is about subjects that I hold dear to my heart and I agree with a lot of what it had to say, but I am going to be honest, it was a really poorly done movie. The writing was terrible...the directing was terrible...Julia Garner was terrible and the filming was terrible. It was like watching a high school auto visual class project. The only reason why I gave it two stars to begin with is because of the main subject matter and Lily Tomlin is one of my favorite actors. Yes, we need more movies about strong female role models and about a woman's rights and empowerment, but that doesn't mean every movie that comes along with this subject matter is a "home run". I think that they must have felt that there was no way this movie could fail, because the topic/s were so strong. If I asked anyone if they liked this movie, no one would have the stones to be honest. If I asked any man, they'd be afraid to say how crappy this movie was because they wouldn't want to offend women in general and if I asked any woman, they'd be afraid to say it was crappy because they would be too embarrassed to look weak and submissive. There is a lot of issues that needed to be addressed in this movie and were, but it was done poorly! I did not like the movie and I think that it might have hurt woman's rights more than help them! In conclusion: This move was a snore fest. The character development, acting and direction was terrible. I can not recommencement this to anyone.
