‘The Fabulous Four’ Review: An Incoherent Girls-Trip Comedy in the Vein of ’80 for Brady’
Surely better material awaits Susan Sarandon, Bette Midler, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally than 'Fabulous Four.'
A huge misfortune befalls “ The Fabulous Four ” right out of the gate: its resemblance to the delightful and far superior “80 For Brady,” the 2023 comedy in which four aging women reclaim their youth and friendship on a Super Bowl misadventure. Rather than a Houston football final, the destination is a wedding in the Florida Keys, which sees four older women (played by stars in their 60s and 70s) reuniting despite a past fallout — whose details trickle out slowly over the course of 98 minutes — and meeting a few handsome gentlemen along the way. This basic premise, along with the characters’ broad outlines, has oodles of comedic and dramatic promise, made all the more potent by the fact that Lou is fighting a ticking clock, fearing that her age might force her into retirement.
