Lily Tomlin tickets are now available to be bought or sold online at Stubhub.com. For decades, Lily Tomlin has brought her unique brand of humor to television. Her charm and absurd humor has entertained plenty of fans during her stand-up shows, as well. With a fresh tour ongoing, you can bet plenty of fans will be rushing out to buy Lily Tomlin tickets. But one aspect of this incredibly gifted humorist’s career that has made her distinctive is her work in film. Whether collaborating with famed director Robert Altman or making a cameo appearance in other films, she’s produced some amazing acting in the past that has stood the test of time. This series examines a select group of her films. Some of them are well-known roles. Others are small, and may have been overlooked, but are worth taking a peek at. In recent years, Tomlin has received accolades for her turn as half of an existentialist detective duo in I Heart Huckabees. Dustin Hoffman is her better half in the film, and together they run a service that entails being part philosopher, part life coach. When individuals have lost meaning in their life, they come to the two of them. The existentialist detectives try to find the missing meaning, and direct their clients back to it. Jason Schwartzman and Mark Wahlberg play two characters that have lost their way in life, and turn to the service to try and rediscover their life direction. Tomlin and Hoffman try and inspire them to see the order in the universe—while an ex-pupil of the detectives derails their efforts, explaining to the two lost man-children that chaos and suffering fill the world. Tomlin and Hoffman have great chemistry, sometimes bickering like an old married couple, but always appearing in love with their work. It’s the perfect vehicle for both of them. Unfortunately, as great actors age, they don’t always find themselves taking on fresh, meaty roles. While they weren’t central characters in this, it did give them something creative and amazingly funny to work in. Audience reception was mixed. Many viewers saw the film as pretentious wankery, but may have been taking it too seriously. The film is satire of a film about self-realization—it’s a farce that doesn’t demand as much thinking as some viewers seem to think it does. Written by Andrew Good and sponsored by StubHub.com.
