Though it can feel like a Tom Brady infomercial at times, 80 for Brady is elevated by the four screen legends romping through its Super Bowl run. AmyTVGal's review:
In a movie landscape full of superheroes, sequels and special effects, a film featuring four women over the age of 70 may seem like a Hail Mary pass. ButThink women don’t like sports? This movie gives you four fans who have long-standing game day rituals and a decades-long devotion to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. “What a beautiful man. So well hydrated,” Lou marvels the first time she sees Brady take the field.
One movie putting this many icons in the same space is kind of special enough. That the movie is an enjoyable romp is an added bonus. When Tom Brady and the Patriots are heading to the Super Bowl for the eighth time, Lou decides she and her friends have to go. “This could be Tom’s last one. He’s almost 40. That’s like 80 in people years,” Lou tells her friends in one of the film’s many wink-wink, nudge-nudge jokes.
All four stars have a natural connection. You believe them as lifelong friends. “Isn’t that what friendship is? That we face the unknown hand in hand,” Betty says. Fonda and Tomlin obviously have a rapport from their seven seasons on Netflix’sand it’s a lot of fun to see them slip into new characters. You don’t need me to tell you that all four are fabulous actresses who fully inhabit their characters. These ladies are legends who raise up even the most mundane material.
