Film Review - 80 for Brady
January 19, 2023
“80 for Brady” is a film that celebrates the career and overall allure of NFL quarterback Tom Brady. And who else can lift Brady higher than himself, with the athlete taking a co-producing credit while making a role for himself in the feature. It’s Brady on Brady, and that’s concerning, but the production makes a wise decision to limit the non-actor’s screen time, turning the story into a valentine to friendship, with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field doing the heavy lifting here, offering their enthusiasm, timing, and star power to an effort which needs all the charm it can possibly get. “80 for Brady” is ridiculous and formulaic, but there’s a pleasant mildness to the endeavor that will surely delight the target demographic for the picture, and the leads offer the right energy, getting the movie past some unnecessary dramatic road blocks on its way to semi-digestible broadness.
