Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin add some welcome danger to their shtick in "Moving On."
We've seen the icons paired a lot — way back in 1980's "9 to 5," in seven seasons of "Grace and Frankie" and just last month in "80 for Brady." There's always been a cuddly, aren't-they-adorable quality to whatever they're doing in their projects, almost as if they're not complicated humans but benign stuffed animals for whom it's clear everything will work out fine.
That's not the case with "Moving On," in which some of Fonda's first words are, "I'm going to kill you." Fonda's Claire is attending the funeral of a friend and she's speaking to the friend's husband (Malcolm MacDowell), with whom she has some history that the movie will reveal. Plain-speaking Evelyn (Tomlin) also has some secrets, which she chooses to divulge in the middle of the funeral.
