An elderly woman at an assisted living center and the driven, nearly divorced director -- switch bodies, forcing them to face their prejudices and fight to keep the home from being closed by the corporate bosses. Freaky Friday with 80 for Brady.

SYNOPSIS:

During a time when the elderly didn't have easy access to the Internet, I developed for my Science and Technology group a program called Web on Wheels. Weekly, I'd go into assisted living centers and help residents send and receive emails with their busy loved ones. I became came close to one lady, Lily, in her 80s. I envied the fun things she did - dancing lessons, crafts, and bingo. She envied me; a busy mother - running my own software company. She'd joke that all of them were in "God's waiting room," getting ready to die. That gave me the idea of Time for Lily - a body-switching movie like Freaky Friday - but with a twist. What would it be like to wake up tomorrow and be like the ladies in 80 for Brady? Would that be worse than being 13 again? I entered it in Stage32's 2nd Annual Grown Up Movies Contest with results in late March 2024.

Our story begins with LILY (80s,) who complains to her gorgeous and attentive son, Jason (40s), about the new phone he got her and that he doesn't have the time to spend with her. By contrast, we next meet MEGAN (30s,) a single mother with two darling daughters who runs Lily's assisted living center. This is a lower-budget film with not many locations. The inciting moment happens when Megan gets handed divorce papers by ROBERT (30s,) which makes Megan realize that she has to fix her life - right at the time when Lily needs to help her friend, FRANK (90s,) who suffers from Alzheimer's by getting approval for a drug trial. After a mixup of the drug, the computers, and a storm - they end up in each other's bodies.

Baby Boomers hold 53.2% of the wealth in America or nearly $60 trillion in spending power. They are 10 times wealthier than millennials and twice as wealthy as Generation X. They are the first generation to grow up watching TV, and they love "grown-up" movies like this.
