2023 Movie Journey #9: 80 For Brady

80 for brady. this movie was a delight, though not in a way that feels like i would watch it again. partly that’s because the plot is exactly what it says it is, it’s a story about a group of senior friends who are obsessed with football. and so even though i was pleased that it had a happy ending and i love the cast, i just don’t enjoy sports enough to make this a new fave.

i had to think about that, and i’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because this movie was the rare one i’ve watched that makes the sports at least as important as the comedy. whereas tv shows i adore like ted lasso and a league of their own used sports as the device for moving the plot along--those shows were primarily about the characters and their relationships and they were fully dramatic comedies.

compared to that (the version of sporting storytelling i like, it turns out) this movie was literally produced by tom brady. it has other famous players in it, too, and not just as cameos. the women in this movie do have lives beyond football, but this point of this adventure is that they run away from those lives temporarily to experience the superbowl. and through hijinks and movie magic, they get to be part of football history in their own small way, before they go back to the lives we’ve barely seen them living in their ordinary day-to-day.

so basically, it really is a fun romp, but now that i know what happens in it i don’t think i’d have as much fun if i saw it again because there’s just so much football. lol. great for football fans, i’m sure! alas i am not one of them.

however, i am a huge fan of lily tomlin and jane fonda and any project that puts lily tomlin with jane fonda, and i also love rita moreno. i feel like lily and jane are reliably good in this, i expected nothing less than comedic perfection from them. and while i also grew up with sally field to an extent, she’s not someone i’m obsessed with so i enjoyed her too in a more moderate way. it’s like, she’s good at comedy, so i knew she would be and she was, but this movie is really in-the-zone for all of its stars--it doesn’t give them things to do that they can’t handle easily.

which brings me to rita moreno! she was possibly the most fun part for me to watch in this simply because i know her from one day at a time, a bit of grace and frankie and multiple versions of west side story. even though odaat is a comedy, it’s a very specific kind that involves a lot of sincerity and tears and never too much snark. and she got to be a sort of moral center of the new west side story (she definitely made me cry) with some gentle humor there too.

but this is a much different kind of funny, ranging from broad physical comedy to drug humor and going-against-expectations jokes, especially regarding the characters’ ages. i never would’ve doubted that rita moreno could be good at that, because she is immensely talented. she’s an icon for a reason.

and that’s what made her role in this so interesting for me. because watching her go from other movies and shows to this, even when they’re all comedic...it’s like i can see the acting. not in a bad, ‘this seems fake’ sort of way. but like, i saw how she would play a character like lydia, in the world of odaat, and how she would be funny that way when funny was called for. and then watching this, where they’re asking her to play high or dance like she can’t actually dance, i could see her being funny in this slightly different, specific-to-this-story way.

it just made me appreciate her even more, because it reminded me that her work is a craft; with somebody who’s that iconic and talented i can expect the best from them and not always catch them working. but here, i can picture it like a dial she twists just a bit in a different direction so that embodying this character is distinct from embodying other characters she’s played, no matter how much they have in common. and that’s especially cool because this could be a movie she simply took on to have fun, an easy paycheck and a good time with the rest of the cast. but it doesn’t feel like that. it feels like she took this as seriously as everything else she does, and that’s what has stuck with me (so many months after actually seeing it, now that i’m finally writing this review).

billy porter was a fun part of this movie, too, though a brief one. mostly i’m just glad they assembled a great central cast, didn’t have anything too bad happen to them, and let them play. if you haven’t seen it, i would recommend it as a lighthearted watch.

Does Ronaldo need more money though lmao, unless he wants to be loaded for the rest of his life and do nothing but produce more kids

People wait the whole year to die at the end. Lmao so the royal family killers have a weird ass royal family obsessed aunt and she told then they were cursed, because of the coincidence 😭🔪

The bump on my head is gone actually! But I do have a small bump on my forehead cause I hit it... on the bottom of the balcony (don't ask 😅)

P.E. = PEPE alright big brain moment 😵

I didn't exactly catch-catch the puckers I just snatched them, but once a middle aged guy wanted to fight me, a 18 year old girl?! He wanted it more than I did, but with that behaviour??? Get fucked

I get you because I was often angry at Pepe and Ramos for sabotaging the team with their behaviour like REALLY?! I think most of Neymar's cards are for his questionable acting skills lol. The comment "Pepe/Ramos: if he's still breathing it wasn't a foul" jshsajshjsshnsjsjsjshdd

SM better does well for SuperM or else 💀💀💀💀 I was hoping for a live performance of Halazia to hear the actual vocals, but almost everyone lipped during Gayo (basically every artist)?! So I'm laughing at Atunas saying they were live, not even Jongho and the rap line. If you can't hear the difference you can even see the lips didn't match come on 🤡 Actually ZFP1 is my fave album! It's cohesive, even though I don't listen to GLB a lot and don't care for ODAAT, other songs are 👌🏻 but many people found the Fever series underwhelming and I kinda get it, like ZFP2 that album is... questionable imo. On the other hand those who became fans during that era say otherwise and don't necessarily vibe with their current sound. You can't please anyone, but I definitely prefer their music pre-Movement era, ngl. Treasure series my beloved 🥰

I'm glad Hwa is getting interested in producing though! But yeah can't have a normal discussion even with people who bias him 🔫

Seonghwa's Gayo fan cam dropped, I'm gonna camp there, he llooked like one of those fuzzy chickens, he said he liked that disheveled look, and he pulled if off.

2002-2009 liners?! Time to kill YG for real

PSG what are you doing omg. No way, the Al-Nassr guy is an icon already actually, jobless but iconic

IU and LJS such a hot couple, but these couples >>>>> there was another one and Seonghwa is dating someone from CLC?! I don't remember being a member of CLC, but okay 🤭

SEONGWHWHAHWHAHHAHA LEGO LIVE AGAIN, THE YEAR HAS BEEN SAVED 🥰

But there was no need to comment that OP and there was absolutely NO NEED for him to read it out loud. I'm having a normal reaction

Also, I'm watching the Youngjae show rn and is it just me or is Hwa looking extra beautiful and radiant recently 😭 also if MinHwaSang cut their hair it's on fucking sight, game over - DV 💖

I didn't exactly catch-catch the puckers I just snatched them, but once a middle aged guy wanted to fight me, a 18 year old girl?! He wanted it more than I did, but with that behaviour??? Get fucked

aHHH THE SAME THING 🔫 snatching it is more impressive bc u have to have the speed to do it 🤌🏻 LMFAOOO??? A WHOLE ASS ADULT??? NAAAAHHHHH BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME UNCLE FBFBBD

no cause ur fouling and risking u to skip the next natch and putting career threatening injuries on ppl 😭😭😭 but NOW??? DO WHATEVER U WANT I SUPPORT no ur right def the acting skills but when he fouls back it always counts </3 LMFAOOOO NO ITS RIGHT if the player is still breathing it is not a foul or the “u missed the ball pepe” “i wasn’t aiming for the ball bro” 😭😭😭 pepe is the reason VAR is invented 😭😭😭😭

NO CAYSE THIS DBDBD
