What to Know

Critics Consensus

Book Club: The Next Chapter's leading quartet remains eminently watchable, but they're underserved by its corny jokes and somewhat patronizing tone.

Rex Reed Observer It’s the kind of film that exists for the sole purpose of entertainment, which it provides consistently. Rated: 3/4 May 19, 2023 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Much like the first film, Book Club: The Next Chapter is another easygoing lark that does zero that’s unexpected yet still generates just enough genuine laughter to make its sitcom-level simplicity bearable. Rated: 2.5/4 May 19, 2023 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian What do you get when you put three Academy Award winners in a movie that has almost no plot and just a skerrick of a script? Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2023 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk The chemistry between these four fantastic leads fizzes throughout and almost, almost makes up for the rest. Rated: 2/5 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Andrew Galdi Movie Bitches Its a fun watch but its not a good movie Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org Book Club: The Next Chapter seems more focused on cashing in on the success of the first film than really investigating the lives of the women they had the audience invest in the first time around.
