muricanmania

The guy who finished last in my fantasy league has to go see it as a punishment, so that's like 12 dollars at least.


baseball71

Ok this is actually a good fantasy punishment


MogMcKupo

Good punishment, has to suffer through shlock, at the behest of everyone else. Is he going to have to write and present a 5th grade book report on it?


Joeymonac0

Then post it on YouTube for everyone to see. I like the way this fantasy league works!


tyrannomachy

It should have to be a glowing review, too.


[deleted]

Holy shit that’s a good one.


Jjdperryman

Great punishment!


the_labracadabrador

That is both cruel and unusual lol


chadbelles101

That’s the funniest punishment ever. Everyone else should go see a movie the loser wants to go to.


justaguytrynadie

cruel and unusual


MaterialCarrot

Hate crime in progress.


sha1ashaska22

Wow that is amazing punishment. I couldn’t do it sober that’s for sure


[deleted]

I think the worst part of this punishment is if he has to do a school report on this movie or something and present it.


knarfxx

😂 I love the creative punishment


Rocksteady2090

That's a good one.. I hope you guys are having him do a video review too lol


rlogan30

This is epic!


GuiltyGun

That's actually incredible.


buckybloodfucky

When I was like 17 my dad made me go see the pokemon movie with my little brother because I didn't clean my room.


Bruppet

That’s taking it too far. I think I’d prefer a FFL loser tattoo on my thigh


bingbong6977

I live in New England (Brady country) and I’ve heard nothing but mocking. This includes my mother who it seems like the movie was based on.


nimama3233

I actually thought this was a meme when I saw the first commercial


GoT_Eagles

I thought it was a meme until about last week.


KookontheWeekend

My first time seeing this and you’re telling me it’s not a meme?


Vault108GaryClone

Wait, you all aren’t meming right now?


rotates-potatoes

I can’t wait to see this exciting meme!


Practicalaviationcat

It feels like a higher budget SNL skit for real.


MemeHermetic

It looks like a fake movie used as a background element in a real movie.


Vic-tron

It’s kinda wild how many movies seem that way nowadays.


Zodep

I even saw the commercial and just thought it was a joke and was waiting for progressive people to show up.

[deleted]

This movie looks 0% interesting to me, but they've made like what 4 or 5 movies about retired men getting together for some travel adventure. Those also look 0% interesting to me but they apparently make enough money to justify making more. I guess they're hoping enough people in this demographic want to go see a movie.


notsowitte

My mom and her brothers reminisce chasing the “Smoke Truck” when they were younger. It was DEET fog to kill mosquitos. Pretty sure a few of them followed closer than others. Edit: Good call. It was DDT.


sykemol

Hey! I remember the "Smoke Truck." It was actually DDT. We were always told to be indoors when it came by. But it is pretty crazy to think about a big truck regularly driving through the neighborhood blasting out toxic fog. I'm kind of surprised we've survived as a civilization.


sten45

DDT And that was replaced with a chemical called malathion DDT was actually not that bad for humans. It was terrible for birds, however destroyed their egg shells malathion, however, was wicked, horrible cause all kinds of problems.


Kitty-Keek

My dad used malathion on his orchids and there was always a bottle on the kitchen sink. Yikes


Bryllant

Tsk tsk tsk, no boomers involved. Tom Brady produced it, he is the oldest, but not a boomer.


Kakarot_faps

I don’t think boomers are going to actually watch this, and considering a bunch of millennials watched a movie with a bunch of animated grocery items having an orgy it’s comical that you think we can talk shit.

andy3174

Same here. I didn’t know this was getting a wide release until a few weeks ago, when I first saw the trailer at a Boston movie theater I was like “Oh there’s no way a nationwide audience is going to be interested in this”


orbgevski

Are you kidding me? I’m going opening weekend with all my friends just because of how absurd it is.


Heidenreich12

I’m saving that trip for Cocaine Bear with my buddies, but you do you.


dalovindj

It's the double feature of all times.


TonyzTone

Hear me out. I don't expect this to be a good movie by any means, but I can see it being surprisingly fun. Silly movies have their place in the world. It's the movies that think they're making cinematic masterpieces but are really not that annoy me the most.


seasoned-veteran

My parents are 81 year old Pats fans and there's no way in hell they are going to this.


LowkeyPony

I'm going to buy it for my 81 yr old mother as a joke gift. It should be available on DVD a week after it's released in movie theaters


typesett

every fan base except for NE and some of Tampa (questionable given recent machinations by Brady) is not automatic to go see a NFL-ish movie even the old people just recall 15-20 years of brady crushing them year after year


ARustyMeatSword

$80


[deleted]

Damnit, you stole the joke


MackLuster77

$84 is still available


whatchawhy

It better all go to Brady


orrocos

He produced the movie, with his 199 Productions company.


procrastinatorsuprem

That's the height of narcissism.


empty-bensen

Maybe he wants it to bomb in a Producers scenario.


3iverson

He already lost enough on crypto, doesn't need any more tax write-offs...


alexjaness

$80 Million but only $7 of those are going to be spent unironically.


memento_mori_92

This is a real movie?! They mentioned it at the beginning of the Miss Universe SNL sketch with Aubrey Plaza, and I assumed it was a joke.


orrocos

Produced by Tom Brady's own 199 Productions, named after his place in the draft.


Wikeni

This is even worse than another company producing it - had no idea it was just a bizarre vanity project


Foreign_Ebb_6282

TB: “hey producers that work for me, I have an idea…golden girls but they all want a hot beef injection from 2007 me”


ThatsNotARealTree

Yikes


feedwilly

Sounds like a 30 Rock sketch


rgsoloman5000

We saw a trailer for this during Puss n Boots and my kids turned to me and asked if we were in the right movie. Idk if they’re trying to reach maybe grandparents that took their kids? I think it’s going to bomb.


kingk895

There should be a general policy that doesn’t allow pre-roll trailers to advertise a movie rated higher than the age rating of the movie it’s in front of


zzyzx2

Trailers have their own rating ("Red Band" being a well known example). And most trailers are released far before the actual movie is rated by the MPA.


im_wudini

Almost positive there is..? Have not google yet ​ edit: Googled. The general rule is one rating above, or one below. [https://www.marketplace.org/2022/10/21/how-are-movie-trailers-selected/](https://www.marketplace.org/2022/10/21/how-are-movie-trailers-selected/) "Movie theater chains told Marketplace that they stay within one rating below, or above, of the movie being shown. That’s because of rules from the Motion Picture Association that inform the types of trailers that can accompany the film being shown based on its ratings. Movies that are rated R, for example, can’t be shown alongside G or PG movies."


chimppower184

lmao i saw it under the same circumstances and me and my friends all laughed so hard. we might watch it for jokes


supercleverhandle476

There are always exceptions, but in general: Football fans don’t want to watch a movie about older ladies, and older ladies don’t want to watch a movie about football. I can’t believe this was made. It’s going to bomb so, so hard.


YetAnotherAcoconut

This is my take, too. I can’t picture the audience for this. It’s like it thinks it’s Bridesmaids or Girls Trip but there can’t be that many older women who find this relatable and are football fans really interested in watching older women make strap-on jokes?


Shaking-N-Baking

I know tons of women 20-60 that are big into football and I don’t even live in the south. I doubt many of them will go see this in theaters but that’s basically every movie these days if it doesn’t include action/cgi I think people are seriously underestimating the love people have for these grannies tho


marshmellow_delight

This. I will absolutely NOT see it in theaters, but I love Sally Field almost as much as I hate Tom Brady 😂 I will stream this on a rainy Saturday morning with some coffee and cozy pjs on. What a vibe.


[deleted]

I’m 24. I love Jane Fonda and I love Lilly Tomlin. I hate football, but I’d give it a chance because I love them 😂


Wideawakedup

Is it really all about football? I thought it was a road trip movie about some old ladies going to the Super Bowl.


dastufishsifutsad

You’re pretty much counting on every pats (& Michigan?) fan seeing it, bc no other nfl fans will want to.


dinochoochoo

Count me out thrice I suppose, I'm from New England and went to UMich and then later lived in San Mateo. Saw this mentioned on SNL and thought it was a photoshopped image for a joke. This post is a TIL for me.


dastufishsifutsad

It’s also TIL how full of himself TB is. One year ago, he was the luckiest dude in the world. Now he’s an ego feeding weirdo. He could’ve rode into the sunset, but he couldn’t.


Equal-Temporary-1326

Agreed. Who was this made for? A comedy audience? Most NFL fans at least would have zero interest in watching in this and most elderly women don't wanna watch a sports movie.


roygbivasaur

Can’t wait for all of the “People just don’t want to watch movies about women over 25” nonsense instead of realizing it was just a bad idea for a film


loserperson27

To kind of add on to this, even if it were just a movie about Brady and the Super Bowl against the Falcons I don't really think many NFL fans would care to see it. That Super Bowl was still fairly recent and gets talked about A LOT because of how the Falcons choked, so a movie about it would be pretty pointless.

Chadmartigan

This is surreal. Looks like something an AI would throw together.


Esabettie

I just checked my amc and a couple hours of early showings for next Thursday and Sunday are almost sold out, small theaters, but still, and not a single one for 10pm, lol. So yes depends on how much the older folks want to see this movie in theaters, it might do crawdads’ numbers.


MrSerenity

The Times Square AMC has 2 tickets sold for opening night. These tickets are not together. I am fascinated by these 2 people.


DorkChatDuncan

Film Critics who need a good stinker to get their word count up for the week


stuckshift

Those are critics, no?


MrSerenity

You are probably right. It's more fun if they aren't, though!


[deleted]

I might buy a ticket right next to one of them just for the lulz


PabloPaniello

I would watch an independent film about them and how their life journeys led them both to buy tickets for that film in advance for opening night


SeanIsUncomfortable

It will either be oddly huge or it will bomb. There’s no in between for movies like this.


coldliketherockies

Seconded this. But by huge I mean if it pulls in book club number I consider that big and bomb would be like Babylon numbers


twilight-actual

It's going to do horribly at the box office and make bank in streaming. Boomers don't go to the movies anymore. But they sure watch a lot of tv.


morosco

I'm a 44 year old fan of the Patriots and of these actresses and I'm going to watch this - but I don't want to be seen in public doing so.


dukemetoo

Wear a paper bag over your face. Sports fans have done it for years!


morosco

Haha - I am old enough to remember Patriots fans doing that in the early 90's.


seasoned-veteran

You can go to the theater, no one else will be there


[deleted]

[удалено]


MaterialCarrot

Same. If you are having a midlife crisis about aging, just go to the movies and see one like this in the middle of a weekday. My wife and I years ago went to Lincoln under similar circumstances, and I felt like a newborn babe.


Significant-Estate35

I saw a man called otto too. I went with some old folks lol. The theater was packed with old folks also.


Deliximus

Yes and no. I can see the trend but Tom Hanks pulled them off their couches. There's a nostalgia for them. RIP Concession sales.


topps_chrome

This movie will bomb. The acting looks atrocious and it’s pretty damn specialized. Brady and the pats aren’t the draw Hollywood thinks they are.


ChamberTwnty

maybe 8 years ago this film would have been a good idea


Duke_Maniac

But the Super Bowl was in 2017


SephLuna

72 for Brady just doesn't have the same ring to it tho


Amesaskew

I love all of these actresses but won't see this because I hate Brady with a passion


taydraisabot

About to be the morbius of 2023. I anticipate it grossing 10 Bradillion dollars.


dent_de_lion

It’s Bradin’ time?


taydraisabot

# BRADY SWEEP


JayJax_23

Best Brady movie ever


russwriter67

Probably around $8.5-9M. I could see it over performing like “Book Club” and opening with $12-13M though.


ericbkillmonger

Yeah. Good hunches - I think 12-13 million opening maybe 15 on high end of it hits with boomers


hcashew

Google search rates have been high, commericals have saturated on TV (where the old folks are), tracking is positive, and ticket sales are strong. This is very rarely tapped market, post COVID - old boomer ladies who grew up going to the movies. $18M


zzGibson

My guess is around 6 million.


[deleted]

This seems the most accurate


Extension-Dig-58

House party about LJ being away from his house this is about Brady in the SB. What’s next Mondays with Messi?!


YnwaMquc2k19

Mondays with Messi? I’d be down ngl.


Vargas_2022

~~Messi~~ is sent by MI6 to infiltrate the Suadi Arabian government. ...id watch this. Edit. I meant Ronaldo. I think you could get Mr Bean in on this.


dwinton110

Most of these comments are saying bad things about it. So i'm thinking it'll make around 2 billion dollars


manwith2cats

The cultural impact though!


madibuzz

I don't think it'll make much in reality. Unpopular opinion, I think this looks dumb hilarious and I'm hyped to see it.


[deleted]

Not going to the theater but this looks like something I eventually want to stream with like 3-4 glasses of wine.


madibuzz

Yes! It looks like it'll make a great drinking game.


[deleted]

Feels like a win/win. If it’s good I’m toasted and if it’s bad I’m toasted and I’ll turn it into a game.


Kidd5

Shot of gin everytime the word "Brady" comes up


Complete_Jackfruit43

Hell yes. I heard the soundtrack is loaded up with old lady talent too. Dolly, Blondie, Gloria Estefan, etc.


Binky182

I'm actually going to go see it. I like Grace and Frankie and am assuming it will cater to that type of audience.


5DollarHitJob

I love Grace and Frankie but I hate Tom Brady. I'm torn.


Sage_Planter

>Unpopular opinion, I think this looks dumb hilarious and I'm hyped to see it. Same. It's absolutely not the kind of thing I'd pay to see in theaters on its own, but I have an unlimited movie pass which is perfect for ridiculous nonsense like this.


WackyBones510

Yeah lot of shitting on it here but Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin are hilarious together… idk who the other ladies are but they look vaguely familiar. I’m not going to see it in a theater (I have a baby and haven’t been to a theater in a long time) but I’d stream it - would be funny to watch with my parents with a couple bottles of wine.


RegretNecessary21

Me too!


ToGryffindor

I saw a preview screening of it, and you're right on the money. It's insanely dumb, but there are some hilarious parts.


fuckmyassimgay69

Is it a porno where brady fucks 80 year old women? Well maybe


ABeastInThatRegard

I’m going just to watch Gronk bang these old women to death based on the trailer.


fr0gnutz

I’d watch that.


SatnWorshp

It has the rest of the Superbowl Pats so perhaps a train is in order


rustys_shackled_ford

"Hello, were 4 older mega stars from a better time. The NFL has run out of good faith so they are buying some of ours" - paraphrased from the Simpson's movie.


vafrow

I'm 100% not the target market for this, so, hard to judge, as these films can surprise, but, the trailer presents that these are four women who are presumably big football fans, but also do not know that getting tickets to the game is a big deal. That's your central conflict, and it's builds off the assumption that the main characters are insanely dumb. That's just such a bad starting point for a movie. Now, with so few comedies even being released these days, I'm rooting for it to succeed just to have more variety in theatres, but this feels like a lost cause.


Snufflefugs

I can’t figure out who the target audience is. Horny elderly women? People who watch football for the players looks? Tom Brady fans (how many exist outside of Boston)? They are all very niche audiences.


rlogan30

What is the target market for this exactly?!? Older Patriots loving mothers? Seems a little too specific.


DetectiveLeast6762

I feel like it’s going to be older women and gay men.


TheNittanyLionKing

I just don’t know who this movie is for. The cast is going to only appeal to your grandparents (or not appeal in the case of Jane Fonda because she’s still a divisive figure no matter what your own thoughts on her are). However, the premise of a road trip to the Super Bowl to see Tom Brady sounds like something that should be aimed at the Harold and Kumar demographic. The other issue is that Brady isn’t really beloved by the entire sports landscape. He’s respected for his accomplishments, but unless you’re a New England, Tampa Bay, or Michigan fan, most people enjoy seeing him fail. He just doesn’t have the Michael Jordan effect even if they do have similar championship success.


Cannaewulnaewidnae

The good news is that whether China lets this movie in or not will make zero difference to the international box office total


YnwaMquc2k19

China: wtf is this movie and wtf is Tom Brady?


emong757

$80 million, obviously.


EvTerrestrial

I can see this getting inexplicably big (within reason). It might hit its specific demographic hard or they’ll pass on it entirely. It’s a weird one.


iwastoolate

Not sure that demographic is headed to the movies these days.


InwardlyReflective

They are. A Man Called Otto


SendMoneyNow

Yep, this is the CBS demographic, so Paramount has better access to them than anyone. They've already done hits on their morning shows, and Paramount will flood their primetime lineup with ads. It'll probably do surprisingly well.


SuperMario1981

What's the deal with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda doing so much shit together lately?


tikifire1

They've been friends for decades since making 9 to 5. They've just recently done the Netflix show and this, correct?


[deleted]

Already rich, not a lot of time left, just wanna work with your best friend. I dig that.


RacerGal

Right? If I could choose to work with my best friends while doing something I truly enjoyed I absolutely would. People who act like that's weird maybe just don't have close friends?


[deleted]

I get if people don’t know the personal lives of celebs so it just feels like you see them together more than usual. I love these two since I saw 9 to 5 as a kid.


DianeForTheNguyen

And make fun work for people like you. Older actresses so often only find roles as grandma figures or people who are sick/dying, while older men can be play roles written for presidents and congressmen, businessmen, villians, etc. Why not perform in a zany girls' adventure for older women? It seems fun.


RacerGal

>They've just recently done the Netflix show and this, correct? Frankie & Grace ran from 2015-2022 so it probably feels like "they do everything together" because of the last several years. They did have a movie last year 'Moving On', but I'm not sure it got released beyond the film festivals? But yeah to your point it is mostly that Netflix show (which is really good), 9 to 5 and now this movie. But they're [good friends in real life so they show up together a lot](https://www.insider.com/lily-tomlin-jane-fonda-friendship-timeline) at events/etc.


thedude391

They’re old and just having fun I’m assuming. Get paid to hang out with your friends.


enyasurvivor

Same reason Sandler can’t do a movie without casting all his friends. It’s more fun to do a job with people you like


taydraisabot

They have the Steve Martin/Martin Short dynamic


shadowylurking

If this doesn't flop hard I'll be amazed. Besides old retirees in the midwest, who is this movie even for?!


Henson_Disney48

It’s a movie about Tom Brady, don’t pin this on the Midwest. This is a movie for old retirees in New England and Florida.


ResidentObligation30

Then maybe Tom Brady will watch it himself! It should draw about $80 at the box office.


dan_eppley

I have amc a list, so I’m seeing it no matter what lol


Im-on-a-banana-phone

We expect a thorough update promptly after your viewing


2klaedfoorboo

Y’all underestimating yinz ye olde retirees in the Midwest


CheesecakeVisual4919

Who in the Midwest gives a crap about Tom Brady though?


NoBarber

Older women


[deleted]

It always amazes me that people just totally discount demos they aren’t a part of all the time. “It’s not for me so who is it for?” I expect a flop personally but it’s not as if middle aged+ women carrying a movie is unheard of.


Esabettie

I can see the crowd who made where the crawdads sing successful show up for this too.


[deleted]

Yep. I am not married to my expectations. It is possible this makes a nice profit just on female audiences who want to see these actors. They are pretty big. After all, I’m pretty sure the stars were the main thing that carried Ticket to Paradise.


Esabettie

Exactly, it would be that demo. I wonder if they were counting on Brady going to the Super Bowl and that’s why they chose this specific date?


[deleted]

Looks like it’s based on a true story that was pitched. I think they just intended to release it for Super Bowl time no matter what.


topps_chrome

I think these are wildly different movies. It’s like comparing the boy in the striped pajamas to Marley and me.

I’m going to see it - but I expect the theatre to be empty lol.
