Locas por Brady

When you put this movie on you can't expect to be getting some Tarentino style cinematic experience. It's not that and nor does it try to be. The only things that you can really grade it on are whether the jokes are decent and not overly obnoxious and whether there is somewhat of a story to follow.

In these two areas I would say it achieves its goal. It takes advantage of a good cast for these roles. They all feed off of the other quite well. As silly as it may be you start to root for the women to achieve their goal. Sure they stereotype the older female football fan a bit, but it's all in good fun. Not a perfect comparison but has a bit of The Hangover but with older people feel to it. Compared to most comedy films put out these days it at least made me laugh as I was rooting on the women. The ending isn't the greatest, but nor did it need to overextend its stay.

Overall, far more entertaining than I expected. Certainly a win for a free movie on the local public transit train.

I was the only young person in the audience earlier today, I'm 30 and still loved this so much! Despite any cheesiness if at all this movie is hilarious through most of it, heartwarming and very entertaining. I love how Sally Field is the only of the 4 leads that is 76 she's magnificent and so are the others Lilly Tomlin is among the best; all the old folks in the film have had outstanding careers over the years it's impressive they are have a lot of energy at their ages. No matter what people think of 80 for Brady it is pure fun entertainment for anyone and deserves at least above average ratings. Pretty much every scene is fun even when there's fails it is worth watching.

I don't know someone these reviews were expecting Oscar nominee performances in this movie- it was very clearly just going to be a fluffy cute movie. So with that being said, was it cute and fluffy? Yes. Did I giggle at some parts? Yes. Was it cheesy and unbelievable in many moments? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I watch it again? No. It was entertaining enough and definitely something you can put on while also doing chores around the house. Sally field and the lady with the short hairdo were my favorite. I'm definitely going to be the one with the short hairdo in my elder years lol anyway, if you don't go in with expectations of this being the funniest movie you've ever seen, you'll enjoy it.

I admit, when this movie was being advertised just about two years ago I told myself I had zero interest in seeing it. And I made no effort to see it. Until today when my wife and I were looking for something to stream.

Now I can confidently say "This movie is a lot better than I thought it would be" and that is always a welcome surprise. A bonus is that it was inspired by a true story of four elderly Tom Brady fans going to Superbowl 51 in Houston (where we happen to live for the past 38 years).

The gist of the story is, these four friends call themselves "80 For Brady" because most of them are over 80 and all of them are big Brady fans and Patriots fans. They even have special jerseys they wear when watching games on TV, all with number 12 on them.

It is 2017 and the Superbowl 51 in Houston is coming up. Two local radio jockeys have a contest, the best story from the fans will win four tickets to the game. A few days later one of the ladies produces four tickets and they are off.

Part of the humor here is that not everything goes smoothly. But the four veteran actresses are in fine form and a fantasy conclusion to the game, which required the Patriots to come back from a big deficit, is entertaining. Actual NFL footage from that game is used, and several Patriots players, including Brady and Gronk, are characters in the locker-room after the game. In fact Brady was the producer for the movie.

Good entertainment, inspired by real people and real events, what's not to like?

I was in one of those moods where I wanted to watch something, but I really didn't want to put must effort into what I was watching. I had seen 80 for Brady advertised, I love Sally Field, so I thought I would give it a go. I was not disappointed.

It is about 4 elderly women obsessed with American Football and Brady, who then decide to go to the Super Bowl. (Based loosely on a true story) I am not a huge fan of Jane Fonda) she is tolerable in this story, she always plays the same character in these films.

It was a fun, easy way to spend 90 minutes. There was a few laughs a long the way, it was enjoyable.
