Critics Consensus

Book Club only intermittently rises to the level of its impressive veteran cast; fortunately, they're more than enough to bring pedestrian material entertainingly to life.

Stale jokes and cringe-inducing sight gags punctuate this creaky romantic comedy.

There's a great sense of camaraderie in it all but it could have been so much better with a script that rejected the obvious.

To have four female actors of this calibre in the one place and not give them something less mediocre is a lost opportunity.

The result is a rather dull and monotonous affair that shouldn’t have been made.

To some Book Club will be inane and superfluous. To those with appreciative tastes for the talent involved, they will find satisfying enjoyment in watching these women shine as they do best.

laugh out loud funny, beyond the trailer. I was laughing out loud, to the point of almost crying at times. Diane Keaton's physical comedy were the best parts! I was glad that there were many funny scenes beyond what was in the trailers. I did catch at least one continuity error, but I'll let it go. I just wish I had seen it in one of the theaters that serve wine...

It started well, but then got slow and predictable.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Feel good sweet movie to sit back and relax with. Not quite on par with something as enchanting as Father of the Bride in the same genre, but we get so few of these sorts of nice movies nowadays.
