Paramount+, the streaming service with plans that start at $4.99 a month, on Tuesday (April 4) will add the theatrical comedy movie, 80 For Brady, which stars Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Rita Moreno and Lily Tomlin as four lifelong friends who set out on a journey to watch their favorite quarterback, Tom Brady, play in the Super Bowl.

Before you run under the covers, or go into a Cover 3 defense, Rottentomatoes.com, which tracks critical reviews, gives the movie a score of 60, sufficient to get the old ‘ripe tomato’ symbol as a decent flick. And with old hands, sorry, like Fonda, Field, Moreno and Field let loose, it can’t be too bad. (It might even be good.)

Below is the press release from Paramount+ with more details, and a movie trailer. Enjoy!
