Lily Tomlin stars as a self-described misanthrope, particularly embittered after a breakup with her girlfriend, in Paul Weitz’s new comedy. You can imagine how overjoyed she is when her 18-year-old granddaughter, played by Julie Garner, shows up pleading for help as well as companionship on the most unlikely of cinematic roadtrips — an abortion adventure. Laverne Cox, Marcia Gay Harden, Judy Greer, Elizabeth Pena and Sam Elliott are among the film’s cast of characters to help ensure that funny things happen on the way to the clinic. Now playing.
