80 For Brady (2023) Review

When lifelong friends began watching American Football, it became a tradition to support Tom Brady and when the Patriots made it to the Super Bowl they decided that they just had to attend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (more…) “”

TOMFOOLERY

In theaters this weekend:

80 for Brady--It's a testament to the star power of the four leading ladies in this movie that I didn't resent that their characters were Tom Brady fans. Not that much, anyway. I didn't even resent that the film amounts to a feature-length commercial for the NFL; it's being released the weekend before Super Bowl Sunday, almost as if the league is trying to offer its own counterprogramming.

Who cares? At this point in their careers, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sally Field and Rita Moreno could pretty much read grocery lists and it would carry a certain pop-culture gravitas. The script, by Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern and inspired by a real-life circle of elderly Boston-based fans of Tommy Boy and the Patriots, doesn't really offer them much more to work with than a grocery list would, and they still come off all right.

Tomlin, a cancer survivor, is the outspoken instigator who insists that she and her friends must go watch Brady play in the 2017 Big Game. Fonda is a flirt given to romantically leaping before she looks; she's also successful writer of erotic fiction about Rob Gronkowski. Field is an academic weary of her dependent, literally absent-minded professor husband (Bob Balaban) and Moreno yearns to break free of assisted living despite a fellow resident (Glynn Turman) who likes her.

The quartet ends up in Houston having wacky adventures at the Super Bowl Experience and at parties and poker games and chicken wing eating contests and such. All does not, it need hardly be said, go smoothly. They're befriended by the choreographer of the half-time show (Billy Porter) and if you think they don't end up dancing to get past security, think again.

With her blunt, urgent delivery, Tomlin somehow emerges as the team captain of the ensemble. But all four are infectiously energetic and seem to enjoy goofing around with the supporting players shoved in their paths, like Porter, or Harry Hamlin as a love interest for Fonda, or Sara Gilbert as Tomlin's daughter, or Andy Richter as a high roller in a skybox, or Alex Moffat and Rob Corrddry as a dyspeptic sports-talk team, and of course Brady and Gronk and Guy Fieri and others as themselves. Even the bit players include the likes of Patton Oswalt and Sally Kirkland.

80 for Brady starts slow, but it should be said that as it progresses, and gets broader and sillier, it also gets better; both livelier and more heartfelt. By the end these women had me absurdly emotionally invested. This is, possibly, the lamest and most ridiculous film that has ever brought tears to my eyes.

Alors qu’elle étudie cette science un peu par hasard, Cécile DeWitt-Morette (1922-2017) a marqué la physique d’après la seconde guerre mondiale tant par son travail scientifique que par la création d’une école d’été dans les Alpes françaises. Au-delà de son travail personnel, son impact sur la discipline se fait via les réseaux et les collaborations qu’elle crée et favorise. Or la recherche repose littéralement sur ces derniers.

Directed by: Olivia Wilde

Written by: Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins, Susanna Fogel, and Katie Silberman

As a netflix production coming of age comedy I expected the absolute worst,horrible,most misrepresented americanized pile of sludge we have seen a million times before.After finishing the movie and seeing it was written and directed by women, e v e r y t h i n g made sense.The film is about two semi sheltered best friends that,upon the last day before graduation realize that they have spent up all their time focused so much on school work and the colleges they want to go to that they haven't really messed around,had fun,gotten into crazy situations and most importantly to them,party.

The casting has lovely diversity from ethnecities,to more than just conventional attractiveness amongst the actors,sizes etc.Having especially the two protagonists (and most of the cast ),actually look and act like teenagers is such a breath of fresh air.The writing although a little cheesy and sugar coated at times has some one liners that will definetly get at least a chuckle out of you.It is also extremely realistic of how akward,giddy,excitable,absent minded and sometimes cruel teenagers can be especially when they cannot recognize their own emotions.All that coming with their own personality,each of them unique and having decent screen time to get the point across as the movie also comments on how other people's perception of you influences your dynamics with them and vice versa plays a huge part in everyday interactions,thoughts and actions.Friendships,sexuality, and socialization amongst teenagers is accurately and respectfully depicted in a way that brings closure to many.Camera work,aesthetics and soundtrack all tie in well with the pop culture that is being depicted and not in a "how do you do fellow teens" way

The only off things about this movie is the american highschool "aesthetic" which I am personally not fond of,the strange dynamic of a teacher student relationship(even though nothing is explicit at all and they are both well of age and not within a huge age gap((still weird)) and the almost mandatory use of vomit at house parties because that is something hilarious and definetly worth mentioning every time

overall hands down most alright and even comforting coming of age movie I have seen,worth having on the backround while indulging in your hobbies

7.5/10

Without the train, Julie would be unable to travel to her position as a head maid at a five-star hotel or the interview she has scheduled for a better position. In a last-ditch effort to travel to work, Julie turns to her neighbors and her own courageous ingenuity. She just about makes it back in time to pick up her kids before bedtime.

Booksmart (2019)

What a way to start a directorial career! Olivia Wilde brings us Booksmart and it’s easily the funniest movie of the year. This is a delight, a coming-of-age story which both utilizes the tropes of the genre and subverts them.

On the eve of their high school graduation, overachievers Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein) suddenly realize their hours hunched over textbooks, their evenings spent inside studying for exams and all the brown nosing to the teachers has been for naught. They got accepted into the prestigious colleges they wanted... but so did everyone else. They’re the only ones who missed out on having fun and decide to compensate by going all-out and attending the seniors’ biggest end-of-year party.

There are many to thank for this picture’s rousing success. I’ll begin with the lead actresses. Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein play off each other so well you’d swear this is their 10th movie together. Even in simple, throwaway scenes, their connection shines past the frames of the screen. You instantly get how they fit together and are immediately endeared. The way Molly teases her best friend and the way she reciprocates by capping off her sentence with the perfect punchline makes you eager to get along for their wild ride through an evening of shenanigans.

It’s an R-Rated comedy that gets raunchy, but never gross and the female perspective makes it all feel fresh - even if you’ve kinda seen it before. Things which normally annoy me, like characters accidentally taking drugs, feel inspired this time around. It winds up delivering the same kind of laughs we got out of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Superbad or American Pie but in a way more down-to-earth, honest, and approachable… while still remaining hysterical. Once in a while, Booksmart throws you a curveball outta nowhere and leaves you in such a state of shock it takes a second to realize just how funny what happened was. And then it’ll surprise you again by delivering a moment of reflection which challenges high-school stereotypes and makes you reconsider what you thought of these characters once again.

Aspects of Booksmart are tried-and-true and others are minty fresh. It’s got at least 6 big instant-favorite moments who will stay with you, making you chuckle long after the end credits are over. It’s hard to believe it lasts 105 minutes. You kinda wish it were a little longer if anything but that’s the mark of a great production. It comes in and gets out before you even think it’s overstaying its welcome. I’m going to have to do some math and double-check but I think this might be my favorite film of 2019 so far. When I think back to the film's very last line, I know that's the case. (Theatrical version on the big screen, May 25, 2019)

FRIENDSHIP PREVAILS IN “BOOKSMART” article by Ronnie Gorham

Photo Credit: Annapurna Pictures/Francois Duhamel

For the most part, our fondest memories of high school weren’t the boring lectures, grueling hours of homework, or terrible lunches they served but rather the friendships we experienced during those four magical years. BOOKSMART  is a hilarious new comedy directed by Olivia Wilde(actress/director) that transports you back to those days of ole and gives you all the nostalgic feels of what it felt like to make the transition from a teen into adulthood.  Packed with an incredibly funny script, great directing, and some pretty memorable cast performances, BOOKSMART is a film you’ll be talking about for years to come

BOOKSMART

The movie follows the ingenious story of two middle-class teenagers named Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever). The two are not exactly what you would call the popular kids in their school but they’re somewhere caught in the middle. They always kind of hold themselves above their classmates and have spent the last four years of school ditching parties and avoiding fun to focus on their studies so they could get into Ivy League schools. Their hard work pays off as Molly is heading off to Yale and Amy to Columbia.

But, on the last day of their senior year in high school, they realize that all the kids who partied and never took school serious also got into really good schools. Molly fed up with the fact that they’ve missed out on four years of fun decides that they need to get it out of their system the night before graduation. They decide to attend an end of the year party being thrown by one of their popular classmates but don’t know his address. The rest of the film takes our two young beauties on a hysterical journey of antics that includes using their hair as masks to intimidate a pizza delivery driver.

Is It a Good Film?

The movie is a fun, engaging time at the cinema and an instant classic. From the moment the opening scene starts, you know this is going to be a wild ride. And, what makes it such an incredibly entertaining flick besides the brilliant directing by first-time film director/actress Olivia Wilde is its leads, Molly and Amy. Feldstein and Dever’s chemistry couldn’t be reinvented in a lab, the moment they step on the screen you instantly fall in love with their friendship towards each other.

It manages to avoid the gender stereotype of just checking off a box that says we made a new high school coming of age comedy movie about two teenage girls instead of boys. But rather the writer’s tell a compellingly funny story about friendships, discovering who you are, and the sometimes life-altering changes that life brings after high school. The film also does a great job of diversifying its cast to reflect the real world. And Amy’s storyline in the film talks about her sexuality as a lesbian but what’s great is how the writer’s give it the same normality that you would any other character.

The Cast

In addition to Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, Olivia Wilde and writers Sussana Fogel, Emily Harpern, Sarah Haskins, and Katie Silberman put together a stellar cast of talented young actors. First, there’s Skyler Gisondo as the wealthy kid who’ll virtually do anything for friends. Then, there’s Austin Crute and Noah Galvin who play a couple of gay theater students. Diana Silvers is the girl with a chip on her shoulder and Molly Gordon who’s known throughout the school as Triple A. (You’ll have to see the flick to know what that means)

Photo Credit: Annapurna Pictures/Francois Duhamel

Each cast member kills it in their performances but it’s Billie Lourd (Scream Queens) as Gigi that takes the comedy to a whole other level. Her character is kind of a free-spirited hippie type that shows up at the most awkward of moments and does crazy things like dive head first off a cruise ship. There are some other noteworthy brief but humorous moments with Jessica Williams(The Daily Show, The Incredible Jessica James) who plays Molly and Amy’s teacher. Lisa Kudrow (Friends) and Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth) play Amy’s adorable but oblivious suburban parents and Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses) as the school principal.

That’s a Wrap

Overall, BOOKSMART is a fun adrenaline filled high school comedy that is totally worth watching, see it in theaters if you get the chance. I’m sure that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever in the future as their performances easily garner 11 out of 10. Olivia Wilde’s first film directorial debut is a huge success and it’ll be interesting to see what project behind the camera she tackles next. Booksmart has set a new bar for coming of age high school comedies and has joined my own personal favorite films of all-time list.
