80 for Brady - Movie Reviews (2024)

A lot better than many will think - but perhaps a film you understand a little better if you a passionate sports fan. As you would expect with the calibre of the cast the comedy does hit when it needs to.

Sadly, Tomlin’s line delivery is wooden and inert, even with her “Grace and Frankie” costar Fonda; she’s better doing deprecating physical humor or when paired with Brady.

The film is full of sitcom-level jokes, Screenwriting 101 plotting, and cameos from former Patriots stars that play out exactly as expected.

The quartet of seasoned actresses bring their A-game to make this wish-fulfillment, feel-good movie a lot of fun to watch.

Football fans accustomed to the superstitions and obsessive fandom that comes with following a squad should find lots to love. It also should score with audiences looking for an earnestly good-natured and only slightly rowdy girl’s trip.

One gets to witness such idiocies as a Tom Brady bobblehead talk to Tomlin’s character or an accidental drug trip that results in Moreno’s character seeing everyone with Guy Fieri’s head.

It’s corny and phony and drippy and only the die-hardest of Brady’s fans wouldn’t be turned off by the blatant fellating of the superstar quarterback and his numerous achievements (and the NFL in general).

These actresses are legends on their own, but collectively they are iconic.

Unfortunately for me, there is no reference to Lady Gaga’s halftime show - but there is a way too long, very 2008-era gag about the ladies accidentally taking edibles and hallucinating visions of Guy Fieri.

Good intentions and a kind heart does not always a good movie make, and 80 For Brady is, sadly, a pedestrian effort at best

Why, girls, why?

80 For Brady sounds like 90 minutes of solid torture. But the good news is that it’s merely fairly bad. The leads don’t stretch themselves, but also do nothing to mar our sense of them as legends who deserve better material.

Good luck to you, 80 for Brady. You are lukewarm drivel. And yet, you're affectionate, ever so slightly funny and your heart looks to be in the right place. Some days, that'll do.

A comfort movie for the silver-haired cinephile, 80 for Brady is charming enough to score a touchdown for those who like their cinema undemanding.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2023

It's never very funny, and the drama is thoroughly sappy, but these four grande dames of cinema keep it entertaining.

Far from a touchdown. We can do better for our icons than this.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 25, 2023

Instead of bothering to craft any decent jokes, the scriptwriters rely on the concept of old people getting out of the house being inherently hilarious.

A children’s film for pensioners, 80 For Brady is an absurd, silly mess. But in spite of itself — and thanks to the warm, genuine chemistry of its legendary leading ladies — it is sweet, and difficult to truly begrudge.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2023

You needn’t be an American football fan to enjoy Kyle Marvin’s film, but its general cheesiness and lack of surprises — flaws only mildly alleviated by the stars’ high spirits — are pretty good reasons to exercise caution.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 20, 2023

It’s tame, like really tame, with a distinct 80s screwball comedy feel. The comedy is cringe-worthy but wholesome, and we laugh with the foibles, not at them.
