By 2017, Lou is in remission and their team is headed to the Super Bowl, which sparks the plan - not nearly as wild or crazy as the film presumes - for the four of them to attend. Instant fans, they start gathering at Lou’s house to watch New England Patriots games together.

#Rita moreno 80 for brady tv#
Here, Tomlin’s Lou is stuck at home, recuperating from chemotherapy, and she and her girlfriends Trish (Fonda), Maura (Moreno) and Betty (Field) are frustrated that her TV is stuck on a channel showing football until they catch a glimpse of Brady. Never mind that its central foursome seems less interested in Brady’s form than in how well he fills out his uniform. More fuddy-duddy buddy comedy than sports film, the female-scripted laffer (co-written by Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern) celebrates the fact that football appeals to more than just bros. Selected as the opening-night cork-popper for the Palm Springs International Film Festival (whose diva-worshiping audience reps the two demographics this featherweight offering serves best: gay and gray), Kyle Marvin’s directorial debut is a pleasant enough reminder that these gals are still game for a good time.

A sweet if toothless “Girls Trip” for the “Golden Girls” crowd, “80 for Brady” unites four Hollywood legends - “Grace and Frankie” duo Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field - as a real-life gang of octogenarian amigas who road-tripped to the 2017 Super Bowl to cheer on their favorite quarterback, Tom Brady.
