80 For Brady (2023)
81%RT Audience Score: 89%
Awards & Nominations: NA
The titular QB may have been tough to beat on the gridiron, but on the big screen, it’s 80 for Brady’s veteran leading ladies who make this lightweight comedy a fitfully winsome watch.
80 for Brady’s stars are so talented that they’re more than enough to carry the movie’s thin story — even if you aren’t a Tom Brady fan.

I can’t believe this movie exists… I felt really embarrassed a lot of the time for these women.

Between them, there’s so many Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tonys — don’t they deserve better than this movie?

TOP CRITIC
It’s not funny, it’s too long, and I had so many questions that were not answered by the end of the film. I would say maybe your Nan might like it but, even then, unless she’s a Patriots fan, she might be better off watching anything else.

TOP CRITIC
It’s wild to see Jane Fonda, once the most hated woman in America, doing product placement for razors in the middle of a movie that is itself a feature-length commercial for one of America’s most unscrupulous public institutions.

TOP CRITIC
While it’s fun to see Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Sally Field living it up, Super Bowl comedy has a shortage of laughs and an excess of Tom.

TOP CRITIC
A dubiously effective branding exercise wrapped in a highly effective distraction…

TOP CRITIC
This is a movie for the fans: for admirers of its many stars, for people who love a good real-life and feel-good narrative, and even those who really love Guy Fieri.

“80 for Brady” is a laugh-out-loud movie with something for everyone, and who better to star in this film than four award-winning stars, Lily, Jane, Rita, and Sally?

There’s just enough heart and silliness to recommend it for nostalgic purposes.

A funny, super charming ride with four amazing talented women. A feel-good sports comedy that you won’t be able to resist. [Full review in Spanish]

Lily Tomlin’s 1000-watt smile lights up the big screen as the award-winning actresses make their on-screen antics look effortless. It’s truly encouraging to see that the team comes off looking just a tad superhuman, like Brady himself.

Bay Area Reporter
“80 For Brady” is a sweetly engaging comedy of the kind that we don’t see much of lately. It succeeds as entertainment because of the prodigious talents of Tomlin, Fonda, Moreno, and Field. They take the story and run with it.

Trivia
Goofs / Tidbits
When Rita Moreno was having her photo taken in front of the backdrop, the photographer was using a Westcott FJ80 flash. The movie was set in 2017, but Westcott didn’t produce the FJ80 flash until late 2020.
