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

| Original Score: D | Mar 6, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2024

Book Club made me want to give up reading altogether.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

What's most disappointing about these ladies reading Fifty Shades is how uncritical they are of it.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 5, 2021

It's refreshing to see an adult rom-com with well-written characters, good acting, and one that focuses on an older demographic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2020

[I]t's just something none of [the stars] deserve.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 24, 2020

I loathed this movie -- every scene, every joke, every performance, every idea.

Geriatric Sex and the City.

It was exactly as advertised.

Jane Fonda has a blast playing a boozy Samantha-like hotel owner who flees from intimacy. Her Vivian may start out cartoonish, but Fonda can't help but show us the fear and desire hidden under her hard and abrasive veneer.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 26, 2020

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

| Mar 16, 2020

The best reason to see this film is to see these legends act and interact.

| Aug 13, 2019

As has become the norm these days, screen legends are brought together not for an instant classic that deserves all the awards but for a frothy comedy that, frankly, is far beneath their collective talents. Yet bless them all for signing those contracts.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 18, 2019

Come for the effortless rapport of the stars, but don't expect the film to fully deliver on their promise.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 3, 2019

The film proves entertaining enough to pass the time with a quartet of women, who even when saddled with mediocre material, rise to the occasion time and time again

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2019

Book Club underscores why the romantic comedy remains a viable genre.

The chemistry between the leading ladies is a virtue. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2019

Hollywood could've done something different with the casting, we talk about inclusion and diversity but if there was a different way of casting, it wouldn't change the film at all but how we feel about it.

| Mar 21, 2019

The first entry in the 50 Shades Extended Cinematic Universe brings nothing new to the table or the genre but sets up plenty of avenues for the inevitable Book Club 2.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 20, 2019

More book club movies please!

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 27, 2019
