Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

blanche-2 I have no idea why this movie was made or who came up with this preposterous casting.I've decided it was some sort of an inside joke cooked up by Robert Stigwood, who had no taste. None.Lily Tomlin, her spouse Jane Wagner, and John Travolta are all huge talents. Tomlin has proved herself over the years to be a fabulous comedienne and a fine dramatic actress. Wagner is a brilliant writer. John Travolta has acting ability, charm, and charisma to spare. But Tomlin is woefully miscast as a rich Malibu housewife, John Travolta's name in the film is Strip, and the script is terrible.I think a couple of things. First of all, I think Travolta, Tomlin, Wagner, and Stigwood were all friends. If you look at Stigwood's resume, he was known way back when for taking untalented people and making them stars. The stardom never lasted, but the man could obviously sell ice to Eskimos. He thought he could make a hit movie with a hot star like John Travolta, no matter that the script was bad and his costar was miscast. When in doubt, overhype. Tomlin probably wanted to try something different, and Wagner accommodated her. However, neither were in their milieu. The result: a disaster that hurt John Travolta's career. Fortunately, he recovered.For "so bad it's good movies," this one beats Monsignor, Valley of the Dolls, The Big Cube, The Oscar, and Bittersweet Love.

clivehacker This movie was filled with great moments. One of the funniest things I have seen in quite some time. This is a misunderstood gem! John Travolta and Lily Tomlin have excellent chemistry on camera and are directed in such a way that you will never see again. This is a one-of-a-kind film. Watch it with your friends, you will be sure to have a good time! There is a treasure trove of great lines and moments in this movie. Since this has not been released on home video, I urge anyone who reads this review to go see it. If your local theater is screening this wonderful film, don't hesitate to pick up some tickets! Take a friend, take a family member. You wont regret watching this rare and intriguing film.

Bman Rman if you like comedies, romantic comedies, or romances raise your hand? if you raised your hand your in for a ride. This little treat features great pacing and classic lines that could only come from such a platonic relationship both john travolta and lily tomlin could deliver. The infamous hot tub scene almost rivals the emotional weight such scenes as marlon brando's last scene in apocalypse now does with it's subtle line delivery. I think what makes this film great is that they put the characters in situations we all can relate to. Travolta's character almost reminds me of a older Holden Caulfield type. I came for the travolta, but stayed for the tomlin.

james362001 It has been years since I have seen this film and thanks to IMDb.com and Hulu I have seen Moment By Moment (1978) again. It is currently not available on VHS nor DVD.I like the film because of the good performance of Lily Tomlin and John Travolta. They had good film chemistry together. Okay, before you bite my head off, let me explain. We know a little bit of Lily Tomlin's personal life and we know about John Travolta and some people might be judgmental about this film, but look at it this way, Lily Tomlin played her character believable and John Travolta's character was that of an insecure, sensitive young man who was down and out and needed someone to give him a lifeline. John Travolta played his role believable as well. Despite the bad dialogue that was written in this film, the two professional actors held the film together. If you watch closely, Travolta was being very respectful to Tomlin during the love scenes.I do like this film and I would buy it on DVD if it ever became available.Spoiler: I wish the film would have made an additional ending of the two back at the beach house together instead of how it did end.As many acting projects as these two big stars have done over the years and are still actively acting, I'm surprised John Travolta and Lily Tomlin haven't appeared in a film together again.
