The basic plotline for the upcoming comedy film “80 for Brady,” coming to theaters this week, sounds like pure torture for any die-hard Atlanta Falcons fan: four 80-ish female Tom Brady acolytes travel to Houston to have a little fun in 2017 during that Super Bowl when the New England Patriots rallied from a 28-3 deficit in the third quarter to vanquish the Falcons.
Legendary actress and social activist Jane Fonda, who lived in Atlanta for 20 years but now resides in Los Angeles, plays one of those four women. She’s Trish, a former TV personality who became a popular author of romantic fan fiction around Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski, a Patriots tight end in 2017.
Trish is also gorgeous, falls in love easily and dons a dozen different wigs in the movie. “You know how much it costs me to look like this?” Trish tells her friends in the opening minutes of the film. “A fortune!”
