80ForBrady Review: Lighthearted Sports Dramedy Boasts Captivating Cast
Real-life Tom Brady super fans, Elaine, Betty, Anita, Pat, and Claire are the women who inspired director Kyle Marvin’s 80 For Brady. An engaging and lighthearted story about long-lasting female friendships, Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern’s script is crowd-pleasing in all the right ways. The film stars Hollywood veterans Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field with seven-time Superbowl Champion and producer Tom Brady.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY 80 For Brady, loosely inspired by a true story, follows longtime best friends Betty , Trish , Lou , and Maura on their quest to take a wild trip to the 2017 Superbowl. Originators of the Tom Brady fan club for seniors, the quartet find themselves on a desperate hunt for tickets to enjoy one last celebration together. All their dreams appear to come true when one contest grants them an experience of a lifetime.
While the film is based on a true story, there’s no doubt the filmmakers behind 80 For Brady took liberties in creating an exaggerated version of the quartet’s Superbowl experience. Yet, everything that happens in the film is well-intentioned and designed to garner organic laughs, and they succeeded in doing so. Despite the lighthearted tone, there are moments in which the story concentrates on real-life issues related to cancer, death, and love — all to which audiences can relate.
With all the ridiculous things that happen throughout Marvin’s sports comedy, it’s easy to look at the film as a throw-away ad to convince its viewers that women can enjoy football. Admittedly, the script isn’t entirely credible in that regard, as their interest in football initiates after fawning over Tom Brady’s handsomeness in early sequences.
Full of heart, humor, and a centralized focus on friendship even in old age, Marvin’s latest sports dramedy is a fun and heartwarming film for everyone. The slowed pace early on enables viewers to understand each character well enough. It then picks up, resulting in an enjoyable experience and laughs at every turn.
