I love Lily Tomlin. She is great. This movie is great. Footage you will mostly likely not find anywhere else in the world. It is very insightful and thought provoking. Glad I own it.

Lily Tomlin has told stories for much of her career. Here she is, doing what she does best. Love it!

What else can you say? It's Lily Tomlin!! She's a great storyteller... and this is well worth watching.

This film is a wonderful look at not only Lily Tomlin but most especially at the city of Detroit. Lily's emotional connection to her hometown is very evident as she both laughs about great memories and suffers over what's happened to her neighbordhood. Great work by the filmmaker, and a true treasure.

This is a really concise and entertaining documentary. Lily Tomlin is a great story teller, and there are some very funny ones in here. Highly recommended.

If you are into Lily Tomlin you will get a kick out of this one. It is short but Lily tells about her early days in Highland Park, Michigan. It has a warm ambiance and is rather humorous. Did you know that Lily Tomlin is Miss Frizzle on the Magic School Bus? She was also on Laugh In and various films such as "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" & "Nine to Five" This is an amazing woman who was a personal friend of my mom's when they were just school girls. I hope to meet her some day and get my mom and her together for lunch or coffee. Let me know if you see this review Ms. Tomlin. I really enjoyed this biographical video.

Whether Lily was reticent to bad-mouth her childhood digs or the author and editor left her pithier comments out of the final edit, this commentary has virtually no values attached to it. I'm sure Ms. Tomlin has a lot to say about Detroit, the government's abandonment of cities, her mixed feelings about revisiting her old neighborhood. Sadly, none of that is here.
