Grandma


Rating = B

Lily Tomlin is in every scene as Grandma in this film, and she is fine. After an original scene in which Grandma dumps her graduate-student-age girl, Grandma's granddaughter arrives in need of 600 dollars to get an abortion late that afternoon. Grandma is broke with no credit cards, but she and her granddaughter set out on all day search of Grandma's old friends looking for someone with money. Thus, there is a series of scenes with fine supporting actors. It's all well done.
