Screen RantPatrice WitherspoonFeb 3, 2023
Thanks to the special cast chemistry, 80 For Brady’s charm shines through despite being good for only a single watch. Read full review

The GuardianCharles BramescoFeb 2, 2023
Good company is the name of the game here, both in the nourishing bond between these geriatric besties as well as the chance for us to spend another 100 minutes in the presence of showbiz royalty. But for all its congenial upbeatitude, this salute to blue-hair camaraderie has been molded into the shape of a movie without much finesse. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshFeb 1, 2023
The comedy isn’t necessarily groundbreaking, and the story beats are almost painfully predictable, but the picture hangs together thanks to this group of legends and the loose, absurdist humor of the screenplay. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeJan 21, 2023
Kyle Marvin’s directorial debut is a pleasant enough reminder that these gals are still game for a good time. Read full review

Little White LiesHannah StrongMar 31, 2023
Perhaps diehard football fans will have a little more fun with the premise, but the stars have to do some heavy lifting, and as charming as they are together, one can’t help but wonder if this is the best we can do for actresses of their calibre. Read full review

CNNBrian LowryFeb 3, 2023
The main challenge is that there’s simply not enough heft in the story to fill out this wild-and-crazy weekend, which requires a level of embellishment that alternates between cute and absurd. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzFeb 2, 2023
To pretend that the film’s pleasures are more than modest is just that — pretending. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFeb 1, 2023
There are a few chuckles sprinkled here and there, but for a movie about football it doesn’t seem to know all that much about football (certain scenes that transpire during the Super Bowl are cartoonishly implausible), and the four primary characters are rather thinly drawn. Read full review

Washington PostMark JenkinsJan 31, 2023
A serviceable mash-up of sitcom and sports flick, 80 for Brady should please fans of Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Sally Field and/or Tom Brady. Everybody else might want to call a timeout. Read full review

The A.V. ClubLeigh MonsonJan 31, 2023
The film is by no means distinctive, hilarious, or memorable in any way, but, for as cloying as this attempt at Brady brand rehabilitation could have been, it’s a testament to the magnetic appeal of ageless stars who know how to carry a film to the end zone. Read full review

EmpireJohn NugentMar 24, 2023
A children’s film for pensioners, 80 For Brady is an absurd, silly mess. But in spite of itself — and thanks to the warm, genuine chemistry of its legendary leading ladies — it is sweet, and difficult to truly begrudge. Read full review

The TelegraphEd PowerMar 16, 2023
It could have been one more late-career hurrah by Fonda and her fellow screen greats. Instead, 80 For Brady flubs the touchdown. Read full review

Making a warm movie about friendship as a tribute to this weirdo is an impossible task. Read full review
