Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field play Tom Brady super fans in this fluffy comedy confection.
Three of the women are over 80, while Betty keeps reminding everyone she’s just 75. The junior member of the quartet even alters the “80” on one of the matching No. 12 jerseys the pals all wear.when a Brady bobblehead briefly comes to life and gives her a wink. She, Trish and Betty emancipate Maura from her senior-living facility, and they all head to Texas.
Screenwriters Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins place predictable roadblocks in their path, but the Brady super fans’ trip plays as a series of triumphs. Ultimately, the women insist on a pivotal role in the outcome of the big game, which is condensed into a few highlights of official NFL footage. But before that, Maura reveals herself as a gambling genius, Betty prevails in a hot-wings-eating contest hosted by Guy Fieri, Trish enthralls a new beau and fans of her books, and all earn cheers while impersonating dancers in a halftime show whose choreographer is played by Billy Porter. First-time director Kyle Marvin maintains a speedy pace, sometimes shortchanging a gag in his haste to get to the next one.
A parallel could be drawn between Brady’s unusually lengthy run as a player and the enduring careers of Field, Fonda, Moreno and Tomlin. But that may be too complicated a message for a movie in which even the smart one — ex-MIT prof Betty — triumphs not with her brain but with her stomach. “80 for Brady” suggests a simpler moral: Golden girls just wanna have fun.
