CHICAGO – “80 for Brady” has an all star lineup, but when it comes to scoring any genuine laughs it has a serious case of fumble-itis. It’s fun to see these talented women together on the screen but there’s not much there. It’s four old friends going to the Super Bowl, and that’s about it.

Rating: 2.0/5.0

Trish (Jane Fonda), Lou (Lily Tomlin), Maura (Rita Moreno) and Betty (Sally Field) are four Patriots fans who dream big of seeing their favorite player … Tom Brady as himself … appear in the 2017 Super Bowl. Lou is a cancer survivor who found an uplift in football. Trish is a sexpot still enjoying dating and writing Rob Gronkowski erotic fan fiction. Maura is a widow who’s a bit of a gambler. And Betty is a retired math professor who, when she’s not keeping track of her absent minded professor husband, is “the responsible one.”

“80 for Brady” opens everywhere on February 3rd. Featuring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, Sally Field, Harry Hamlin, Bob Balaban, Sara Gilbert, Rob Gronkowski, and Tom Brady. Written by Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins. Directed by Kyle Marvin. Rated “PG-13”
