Tom Brady’s name could appear in the title of the next film 80 for Bradybut they are the real stars four Hollywood icons – Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field – who play a quartet of New England Patriots fans in the 1980s who hit the road to see their team play in the 2017 Super Bowl. received criticism from social media users who are just figuring out the plot but the reviews are here now so the reviews can give us a better idea of what to expect first in theaters February 3 .
With everything Tom Brady has been through in the last year, since your pension and your pension at his Divorce from Gisele Bundchen – many are curious to see what the famous NFL quarterback (in the film he also produced) brings to the screen. And with a trailer showing the pairing of Jane Fonda, Guy Fieri and football , what can go wrong? Let’s see what the critics say.
Leigh Monson of the AV Club rate the movie with a C, saying this 80 for Brady it relies on sight gags and celebrity cameos to make up for the lack of wit, but the true chemistry of the four lead actresses makes up for the film’s shortcomings. The critic continues:
In the end, it’s these four women who save 80 For Brady from itself. Despite such mediocre effort, he still manages to look watchable and charming because Tomlin, Field, Fonda and Moreno are all such likable presences. The film is by no means distinctive, hilarious, or memorable, but, as cheesy as this attempt to rehabilitate the Brady brand is, it’s a testament to the magnetic appeal of perennial stars who know how to bring a film to the hot spot. . area.
Fran Hoepfner of The Wrap says Tom Brady also exhibits a certain star quality, exuding a sense of unreality that matches the tone of the film. Unsurprisingly, Sally Field, Rita Moreno, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin don’t disappoint, according to the review:
80 For Brady is undeniably a brilliant piece of NFL propaganda, a movie so in love with its own money-making apparatus that it’s hard not to find it at least somewhat evil. But the performances come and are often captivating, with the four women particularly on form.
Vince Mancini of Uproxx calls the film “a strangely fascinating train wreck,” and even though he admits he didn’t think 80 for Brady she would be his cup of tea, he was attracted to her. The critic explains:
80 For Brady, it was like a strange mushroom trip, and I found myself strangely fascinated by it all. In this weary age of media saturation, we rarely give credence to the question “how did they do it?” as a question that compels us to continue searching. And yet, that question has been as constantly on my mind for 80 years for Brady as it was for Avatar. Which actors were actually in the room during this scene? Which parts were shot on location and which in a makeshift studio six months later? What were the lines in that scene that someone forgot or messed up that the director was too polite to ask them to redo?
Peter Debruge of Variety is one of many critics who point out that football fanaticism is unnecessary, since 80 for Brady It feels more like a buddy comedy than a sports movie. It celebrates the fact that women can love soccer too, says the reviewer, even though the main quartet are probably more interested in how Tom Brady looks in his uniform than how he plays.
80 for Brady may be based on a true story, but it comes across as pure fantasy – a quiet distraction from those dark and pessimistic times. Their four stars are icons who never stray too far from the characters they’ve created for themselves, though Field, not yet 80, enjoys playing the role of a socially awkward, stats-loving math professor who she enjoys some time away from her husband. in need. (Bob Balaban). At 91, Moreno dances in circles around others, energetically, even though the film’s two dance numbers aren’t choreographed or edited to show all she can do. Fonda is fantastic as a former “Mayflower Girl” who writes fan fiction and whose past as a beauty queen explains the elephant in the room: her job and “what it takes to look like this.”
Sheri Linden of the Hollywood Reporter says Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern’s screenplay provided the four leads with “terribly funny dialogue,” but the actresses, especially Lily Tomlin, effortlessly elevate the material. The critic continues:
As for the story itself, most of which doesn’t take place in the stadium, it’s a variously awkward, sweet and goofy fusion of everyday reality, sitcom madness and pure adoring fantasy: adored are, rightly so, its glorious female protagonists . . … Directed by Kyle Marvin, an indie producer (The Climb) at the helm of his feature debut, 80 for Brady places all of its shots right on the surface, sometimes laboriously. It’s when Marvin steps back and unleashes his stars that the film finds ground, reveling in his ability to bring expert touches of detail to obvious setups.
It seems that no matter how big a fan of Tom Brady you are or which team (if any) you are loyal to, 80 for Brady it’s more about the friendships between the four octogenarians than the Super Bowl (although I’m very curious as to whether ALL Atlanta Falcons fans would be willing to restart the game this movie is all about).
