"Tomlin and Fonda's 'Moving On' delivers dark comedy and old magic"
Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda star in "Moving On," a comedy about two college pals contemplating the murder of a predatory man. While the duo's comic partnership is a pleasure to watch, the film's genre territory is strange and risky, operating as a "rape-revenge comedy." The vengeance is oversweetened and served lukewarm, lacking farcical energy or satirical audacity. The film takes refuge in pleasantness and the easy charm of its stars, but fails to fully blossom emotionally.
