Roadside Attractions will release Oscar nominee Paul Weitz' (About a Boy), Moving On, an original comedy of humor and heart, starring Acadamy Award Winner Jane Fonda and Academy Award Nominee Lily Tomlin as estranged pals who reunite to seek revenge on the petulant widower (Malcolm McDowell) of their recently deceased best friend.

Along the way, Fonda reunites with her great love (Richard Roundtree) as each woman must make peace with her past and learn to treasure the value of a good friend.
