80 for Brady: Quatro Amigas e uma Paixão

To mix up my sports metaphors, I hope the box office hits it out of the ballpark and we get more female-oriented, age-defying movies like this.

...screen queens go wild in charming but slight comedy.

They deliver the flimsy material admirably, gamely indulging the cheesier lines of dialogue...

...positively depicts women over 70 as adventurous, gutsy, attractive, and necessary, which is all too rare in mainstream Hollywood cinema.

...it's pure joy to see these women we have loved and grown with over the decades. They still give their considerable best to make us laugh, dream of our own adventures, and wish they could be around for another two centuries.
