Four legends of the screen star together, quadrupling the comedy, in 80 For Brady, a winter release from Paramount Pictures. The film stars Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, and Rita Moreno.

80 For Brady is inspired by a true story of friendship, presenting a whimsically comical, yet genuinely emotional, tale of four women who plan a trip top 2017 Super Bowl LI to watch their beloved quarterback quarterback Tom Brady. The lady are inspired by Brady’s never give up attitude, tapping into that same spirit on the craziest trip of their long and amazing journey together.  80 For Brady presents the whimsically comical, yet genuinely emotional, tale of four women who set out to pay homage to their hero.

  80 For Brady is a perspective-shifting twist on the “girls just want to have fun” comedy, also bringing in elements of the epic party movie and rollicking buddy movie.  But it’s all filtered through something distinctive: the insistently upbeat mood that Tomlin, Fonda, Moreno, and Field set, a mood of living it up no matter what tries to bring you down, a tonic of fun-loving humanity for our times. 

                  “Age really doesn’t matter when it comes to these four friends,” says producer Donna Gigliotti. “They believe if you have the will, you can do anything.  If you want to go the Super Bowl for the first time in your life at 80, do all kinds of crazy stuff you’ve never done, even inspire Tom Brady, you can do it.  It’s a wild ride that brings them closer together and more excited than ever about what’s ahead.”  This winter, a brash, big-hearted comedy touches down that proves it’s never too late to have the wildest time of your life.  80 For Brady is set against an American rite of passage—the time-honored tradition of friends and family heading to the Super Bowl city aiming to make lasting memories. But you’re about to meet perhaps the least likely, most hilariously fun, quartet to fulfill this iconic football fantasy.  Inspired by a true friendship, this is the whimsically comical, yet genuinely emotional, tale of four women who set out to pay homage to quarterback Tom Brady’s refusal to ever give up—only to have to tap into that same spirit on the craziest trip of their long and amazing journey together.

                  “This is a story of four women out to prove to themselves and everyone around them, including Tom Brady, that it ain’t over till it’s over,” describes director Kyle Marvin.  “It was really important to me to make a very joyful, positive movie at this moment in the world. We also set out to tell an authentic story about the fun, support, and inspiration of long-term friendships, and how they sometimes push you to do the unexpected.” 

Says Tomlin, “The concept of four female friends trying to wheedle their way into the greatest ever Super Bowl is incredibly fun.  But even more fun was working with Jane, Rita, and Sally.  They’re all equally sweet, talented, irreverent, and in love with life.” 

Adds Fonda, “I wanted to be part of 80 For Brady because I think we all need to have a good time right now.  People need to laugh and feel optimistic, and this is definitely a feel-good comedy.  Lots of outrageous things happen along the journey but it ends up being deeply poignant, in an uplifting way.” 

                  Moreno describes the film as “a delicious romp full of hijinks.  It could be about any group of people but what makes it unique is that when you are our age you are truly ready to do whatever you please, to say exactly what you want, and be who you are, because what do you have to lose?  These ladies use all their experience and attitude to tackle anything that happens.” 

                  Field, notes that while 80 For Brady is very much not just for sports fans, it celebrates the fact that women of all ages are some of the most overlooked uberfans of all.  “I’m a huge sports fan myself and I think the world underestimates how many older women are,” she says.  “Sports are one of the best ways to build camaraderie. And it’s that camaraderie that propels these women into a weekend more exciting than anything they had ever conceived of.  You have the flat-out fun of four older women friends getting into shenanigans while always having each other’s backs.” 

                  Joining in on the antics is an ensemble cast running over with comedy stars and cultural icons, including members of the 2017 New England Patriots – Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola – Guy Fieri, Billy Porter, Glynn Turman, Harry Hamlin, Sara Gilbert, Jimmy O. Yang, Bob Balaban, Rob Corddry, Alex Moffat and more.   

                  Naturally, there could be no 80 For Brady without Brady himself.  The global superstar and anointed G.O.A.T.—still playing at an unheard-of 45 years-old—not only stars in the film, he was so stirred by the story he came aboard as a producer. 

 “This story centers around things I really care about,” says Brady.  “Football aside, it’s about relationships, overcoming adversity, and having the resiliency and imagination to make things happen in your life.  These ladies embody that as much as any athlete.  And to be able to tell this story with these screen icons has been an amazing experience.  They are the G.O.A.T.S at what they do, and it’s been a treat for me to see them in action bringing this story to life with all their charisma and humor.”
