- Excerpt: Acerbic & insightful, Paul Weitz’s GRANDMA features Lily Tomlin’s peppery performance…
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: Most of us aren’t lucky enough to have a grandma as cool as Lily Tomlin, but at least this gives a chance to pretend.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: The Lily Tomlin show brought to you by the director of American Pie and Little Fockers. Don’t piss off the little old lady from Los Angeles.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Grandma just happens to be short and sweet, and for that matter, smartly acerbic and gently human, too.
- Jason McKiernan @ Next Projection
- Excerpt: It’s an interesting clash of earthbound characters in an explicitly elevated formal environment…and one that is ultimately just as wonderful as it’s intended to be.
- Jonathan Ricjards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: The bedrock of Grandma is Tomlin’s smart, caustic, loving portrayal of Elle, but the rest of the cast doesn’t let her down.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Even while recognizing the calculation behind Weitz’s method, you can’t help but enjoy the vivacity with which Tomlin brings the manipulative material to life.
