What to Know

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.

Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Stale jokes and cringe-inducing sight gags punctuate this creaky romantic comedy. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au To have four female actors of this calibre in the one place and not give them something less mediocre is a lost opportunity. Rated: 2/5 Sep 8, 2018 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film The result is a rather dull and monotonous affair that shouldn’t have been made. Rated: D Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Book Club made me want to give up reading altogether. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan fantastic and funny movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review Brenda The movie had great comedy and a a story to tell. Great actors! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Katie D 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... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review Marla O It was boring and trite. A waste of actor talent Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Alex r This movie is not great but if your looking for a film about friendship among women you can do way worse. The plot is just an excuse to have four women of similar ages be friends. Now does the chemistry work kinda, Sharon is a bit stiff and Vivian comes off like the popular girl hanging out for some reason with the geeky girls. The romances kinda work but their relationships to their husbands/boyfriends are the only thing the sells good. Worth watching only if your in it for the experience of having a movie center around four female friends having fun in an adventure and don't care what its about. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Sara G Watched it on the plane. It was very cute and funny. Had a good time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
