As this is a movie about the Superbowl it only seemed fitting that I watched it on the Superbowl weekend.

I am not a big sports guy myself nor do I have strong ties to these actresses but I did enjoy my time with this movie. We follow these four friends who have this ongoing tradition of watching the Superbowl every year. In 2017 they finally decide that it is time to actually go in person. As the movie unfolds we learn more about these characters and their motivations and although it is a comedy and I was having a good time there were many heartfelt moments as well.

On their journey to the Superbowl, they get up to many antics, like participating in a spicy wing competition, or having to dance to fool some guards. They also end up meeting many celebrities, like Guy Ferrari or Patton Oswalt.

They are Super big fans of Tom Brady and end up actually meeting him in the film. This makes sense because he actually is the producer of this film. This was really funny to think about though because every time they praised Tom Brady or said how much they loved him I just had to think about who produced this movie. Despite the overt love for Tom Brady, it was still a fun film with multiple jokes that made me laugh.

They showed this at the end of the movie but this film is actually based on a true story. Although I feel like they maybe embellished just a teensy bit on some of the moments I still think that is a really cool fact.

I would definitely say to check this out if you are looking for just a fun time it is nothing too insane but just a light-hearted comedy with some real feel-good moments and sometimes that all you need.

To whoever put together this trailer together, bravo! I would definitely give this a watch if you still want to find out more about the movie without getting spoiled on any of the major plot points.
