The first trailer was not informative, and while the Super Bowl TV spot includes new footage, it is still not telling me anything about this movie beyond that it looks cool.

Movie Reviews and Previews Lily and Jane: The original Tina and Amy Many of us noticed during the Golden Globes that Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are not only awesome ladies on their own, but they’re especially awesome together.
