From the jump, there are some very heavyThelma & Louisevibes with Fonda’s Claire recruiting her long-lost pal Evelyn (Tomlin) to murder their deceased friend’s husband, Howard (McDowell). While the reason for the vengeful killing isn’t immediately laid out at the top of the trailer, we come to find out that Claire’s beef with Howard has been over decades in the making with Claire finally feeling free to kill him now that her friend has passed away. And, by the end, we discover that Claire’s hatred of Howard stems from her belief that he broke up her relationship with her one-time beau (Roundtree). Although years have passed since they were so entangled in each other’s lives, murder plots have a way of bringing people together with Evelyn and Claire quickly falling back into their old ways.
Of course, the trailer is marked with classic one-liners and deadpan bits between longtime friends Fonda and Tomlin who have been cracking up audiences since they appeared opposite one another alongsideDolly Partonall those years ago in9 to 5. Since then they’ve gone on to appear in fan-favorite productions including Netflix’s smash-hit seriesGrace and Frankieand will soon be seen starring withfellow legendsRita MorenoandSally Fieldin80 for Brady.
