Movies starring Lily Tomlin

Nine to Five (1980)

110 mins Comedy

Prior to a recent rewatch I had only seen "Nine to Five" once, it was sometime back in the 80s when I was a teen and I remember enjoying the fun of these 3 women who kidnap their boss. And to be honest having watched it again...

All of Me (1984)

93 mins Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

You know those movies where people magically switch bodies, well Steve Martin's "All of Me" is basically a variation on that idea. Instead of him switching bodies he finds that the soul of a dead woman is cohabiting in his an...

Big Business (1988)

Released back in 1988 "Big Business" is a comedy of confusion, a series of gags surrounding mistaken identity as two sets of twins mixed up at birth miraculously find themselves in the same hotel at the same time blissfully u...

Flirting with Disaster (1996)

92 mins Comedy

That makes "Flirting with Disaster" sound like quite a run of the mill road trip comedy with some typical character types; the nervy, neurotic man in a mid life crisis, the sex mad wife who is desperate to sort things out so ...

Tea with Mussolini (1999)

117 mins Comedy, Drama, War

Italian director Franco Zeffirelli is widely acknowledged as a director of Shakespearean movies such as "Hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet" and of course "The Taming of the Shrew" but he also directed "Tea With Mussolini" a far more...

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

107 mins Comedy

"I Heart Huckabees" is a well made movie with an array of good performances but beyond that it is up its own arse. I'm sorry but here is a movie which is trying to be clever and deep about one's purpose in life and that time ...

The Ant Bully (2006)

88 mins Adventure , Animation, Comedy

"The Ant Bully" to me is just another animation, nothing that wrong with it but nothing about it which makes it any better than the ever growing number of other computer generated animations. I suppose what I am saying is tha...

The Walker (2007)

108 mins Crime, Drama, Mystery

So let me see; we have a gay man who escorts wealthy women who covers for one when her secret lover is found murdered. In doing so he finds himself under the spotlight and sets about trying to find out who did it because of s...

Ponyo (2008)

101 mins Animation, Family, Fantasy

I don't think I have watched a Studio Ghibli animation which I didn't like but some have wowed me more than others. Unfortunately "Ponyo" is not in the group which wowed me as whilst I am sure the storyline works for those wh...

Admission (2013)

107 mins Comedy, Drama, Romance

"Admission" had a big problem; it doesn't know what it wants to be. We have a cast of popular comedy actors in a movie which has less humour than you would normally find in their movies and the humour is not laugh out funny, ...
