80 for Brady’s review

space jam satisfied The best exotic hotel Marigold In 80 for Brady, a truly bizarre, often incompetent but wildly stupid retirement comedy that stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field as four devoted Tom Brady fans desperate to see their burly hero star in a famously dramatic Super Bowl 2017. . These women are some of the most decorated and famous screen legends in living memory (five Oscars and 12 nominations between them), so it’s almost bad that they’re finally reunited for this completely insane joke., American at heart. . .

The tone of this thing is violently ridiculous. To complete the basic storyline (characters go to see sports), he vacillates from one bizarre setting to another: the gang goes shopping! Gang pose as Lady Gaga’s backup dancers! The gang wins a hot wing contest with the real Guy Fieri! Most of the comedy here ranges from so bad it’s good to just plain bad. However, each protagonist also has her own “serious” subplot: Rita Moreno mourns her late husband, Lily Tomlin recovers from cancer, Jane Fonda is still unlucky in love, Sally Field is stuck in a stale college marriage. There is also room for moments of sincere and extremely serious friendship between women. That’s it, admittedly, warm, the chemistry between the actors is never questioned.

Much of what happens might get lost in translation on its journey this side of the Atlantic: the obscure rules of American football remain a puzzling mystery to most outside the United States, and Tom Brady (who appears here as himself) is probably best known. to the British as “Gisele Bündchen’s ex”. In fact, the whole thing is a case study across America: There are cowboy boots; there are sequined football shirts; there are cheeky product placements; there are Brady’s cheekbones, seemingly sculpted by Lady Liberty herself, and at the center of it all is the Super Bowl, which appears to have a mythological, almost healing property for those who worship at the altar of him. As an anthropological study of the American psyche, 80 for Brady It is a fascinating and important document.

However, on a purely cinematic level, it’s not a good film. The address is pedestrian. The plot is incoherent. Tom Brady can’t play. He cannot be recommended in good conscience. But he has a good heart, and whatever side of the ’80s you’re into, for both the right reasons and many of the wrong ones, he’ll probably make you smile.
