The title could only be more eloquent: Fonda will be joined by prestigious colleagues who are practically the same age as Lily Tomlin, Sally Field, and Rita Moreno in an adventure that will lead sprightly eighty-year-old ladies to fight the monotony of everyday life by deciding to attend the Super Bowl.
The four, therefore, go to the most popular world sporting event hoping above all to meet Tom Brady, one of the most loved champions of American football and also the producer of this film. The fact that they are without tickets and that everyone around them looks at them as aliens is certainly not an obstacle for them, who will get into one trouble after another, as seen in the trailer released in these hours.

Indeed, he is on the set of the film 80 for Brady, which tells the story of a group of friends and their unforgettable adventure in a Super Bowl, more precisely, the 51st (LI).

In addition to this photo, Tom Brady also jokingly wrote: "80 for Brady! I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with these legendary women and the entire team working on this story. How many times do you think I had to repeat my lines?".
Fonda being blown away by Brady is just one reason to see 80 for Brady. The reunion of Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in 80 for Brady makes it a must-see movie for Grace & Frankie fans.
After seven seasons and 94 episodes, making it the longest-running series in Netflix history, Grace & Frankie concluded its final season in 2022. The release of 80 for Brady in 2023 not only offers fans Grace & Frankie a chance to see Fonda and Tomlin on screen together again, but the film also seems to match the Netflix series tonally as a hilariously heartfelt story about friendship that puts older adults at the forefront of the narrative.
Recalling the experience on the set of 80 for Brady, Jane Fonda recalled the first time she met the quarterback live. The Oscar-winning actress told The Hollywood Reporter that Tom Brady showed up on set one day, leaving her speechless.
Diane Warren discussing "Gonna Be You," said: "When I wrote "Gonna Be You" for 80 for Brady, I wanted to write a song that celebrated the deep friendship of these women. Since "80" was in the title, I got a crazy idea, why not get some of the most iconic female singers of the 80s, who are still amazing and always will be, to sing it all together?.
Everyone I asked said yes, and they were as enthusiastic as I was!! I am honored to have Dolly Parton, Belinda Carlisle, Cyndi Lauper, Gloria Estefan, and Debbie Harry for this song!! "Gonna Be You" is that song you want to sing along with all your best friends!!!".

The film, which will be released in American theaters next February, is inspired by a true story: in 2017, the American newspapers told of the feat of four elderly American homemakers who had gone to Houston to see the Super Bowl and meet their Idol Tom Brady.
Eighty for Brady will exaggerate their adventures, just as the outfits and looks that the protagonists will show off seem rather exaggerated. Not content with going to the stadium in the uniforms of the New England Patriots, the team they support, the four have personalized them with rhinestones, sequins, and silver accessories, to be even more recognizable.
For the quarterback, it is not an absolute film debut, having had a small role in Ted 2 of 2015, but it is certainly the first film as a main protagonist. At the same time, Tom Brady is training with the Buccaneers to try to win another Super Bowl in 2023, which would be the eighth in his career for the athlete.
The dynamics between Fonda and Tomlin and how their characters deliver their lines in the trailer for 80 for Brady almost feel like deleted scenes from Grace & Frankie, showcasing a never-before-seen fling between the two friends. While their characters and story are different, 80 For Brady almost feels like a spiritual sequel to Grace & Frankie, which fans may appreciate all the more given that it's been nearly a full year since the series ended on Netflix. Also, like Grace & Frankie, Fonda and Tomlin arena aren't the only acting icons to appear, with Rita Moreno and Sally Field playing the other members of their group of friends.

The beautiful look of Jane Fonda herself is also almost extreme, choosing very blond backcombs, excessive make-up, and boldly painted nails to interpret a woman who defies the passage of time with flair and a pinch of extravagance.
Fonda is not new to roles that play with great irony on the fact that she is still an active and fit octogenarian: for seven seasons, she was, in fact, co-protagonist with Lily Tomlin in the Netflix series Grace and Frankie; the two, friends also in life, played two women who have always hated each other - Fonda played the very elegant and snobbish Grace, while Tomlin was the hippie and uncontrollable Frankie - who, however, discover they are friends and allies when their respective husbands come out, and they get together.
Between the star power of its lead actors, the N.F.L. players who will appear in it, and the additions of Billy Porter and Guy Fieri, 80 for Brady has the potential to reach a variety of audiences and could become a surprise hit despite not being both of the biggest theatrical releases in 2023. The glimpses of Fonda reuniting with Tomlin and Fonda interacting with Gronkowski in the trailer are enough to whet the audience'saudience's appetite, along with Fonda'sFonda's enthusiastic and amazed response to the meeting and work with Brady. Eighty for Brady will be released in theaters on Feb. 3.
In addition to Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, the cast of 80 for Brady consists of Sally Field and Rita Moreno, with the special appearance of Tom Brady, the American football legend. The plot is inspired by a true story and follows four eighty-year-old New England Patriots fans who intend to participate in the 2017 Super Bowl while completely ignoring its dynamics.
First of all, to access it is essential to purchasing a ticket, which the protagonists do not have. And in their hilarious attempt to nab some of them for the match, the four protagonists will meet interesting characters such as Brady'sBrady's former teammate, Rob Gronkowski. Billy Porter and Guy Fieri are also involved in the cast.
Between old-age vibrators, Reddit golf cart getaways, new lovers, and lots of marijuana, Grace and Frankie have become synonymous with a new old-people tale on screen. And Jane Fonda is again leading this revolution: having abandoned Grace'sGrace's expensive suits - and the ubiquitous Martini firmly in one hand - she is now ready to show off the most flashy tunics of the football fan. Only after the next role will certainly not be affected by the passage of time.
