Tom Brady’s First Movie Production Venture Gets Mixed Reviews as Critics Dub ‘80 for Brady’ to Be “Mediocre”

Tom Brady just ended his pro football career after 23 glorious years in the NFL. And although retirement wasn’t the foremost thing on Brady’s mind, his business commitments may have had a hand in pushing the 7x Super Bowl champion towards the decision. One of those ventures was his movie ’80 for Brady’.

The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback made his debut in the world of show business with a comedy-adventure multi-starer. And with a Friday release last week, and the box office numbers coming in, ’80 for Brady’ has had a good start. However, it is nothing like the success Brady enjoyed in his NFL career.

’80 for Brady’ does not get the full vote of the cinema world

According to Deadline’s viewer data, 47% of the ’80 for Brady’ crowd was above 55 and 69% of all spectators were women. For Brady and NFL fans, this movie was a breath of fresh air with their favorite star, Brady himself, and the comedic element involved. And Rob Gronkowski is also in it.

Brady, who was also present at the red-carpet premiere, is taking advantage of his free time and tweeted his plans for his movie. Co-star and iconic actor Lily Tomlin also tweeted in joy when women flocked to watch the movie.

However, the non-NFL population wasn’t quite pleased with the sports comedy flick. CinemaBlend rated the movie 2 out of 5 with an added insult in the review. “Shouldn’t have even qualified for training camp“. Other review houses have even described ’80 for Brady’ as “mediocre” and “a weird mushroom trip.” Rotten Tomato’s audience poll stands at a stellar 91%. However, the critics section on RT has only accumulated a 64% rating.

Tom Brady is still #1 after the weekend box office numbers

Tom Brady made his acting cameo as the protagonist’s co-star in ’80 for Brady’. The film is about the characters portrayed by Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, Sally Field, and Jane Fonda, documenting their crazy journey from Boston to Texas. They embark on a journey to witness their favorite NFL star, Tom Brady, take their very own NE Patriots to another Super Bowl championship.

And it is fair to say that Brady and Co. did not disappoint the women on a mission. In the now infamous ’28-3′ historic comeback, TB12’s Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in OT to clinch the Lombardi trophy.

And understandably, fans were excited to see the big screen adaptation. After Saturday’s box office collection, Paramount’s ’80 for Brady’ clocked around $13 million, following in a close second to M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Knock At The Cabin’. And looks like Brady likes to stay on top even after retirement.
