BOOK CLUB(2018)
If you look up women's movie, this will be the response! While
not terrible, it is quite boring really! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Best friends Diane (Diane Keaton), Vivian (Jane Fonda), Sharon
(Candice Bergen), and Carol (Mary Steenburgen) have been meeting
for their book club every month for forty years. Their next book
is Fifty Shades of Grey and it unleashes the sexual beasts within.
Successful single hotelier Vivian reconnects with old flame Arthur
(Don Johnson). Federal judge Sharon is pushed into internet dating
after 15 years of sexless divorce. Carol is happily married to
Bruce (Craig T. Nelson) but their sex life has stalled. Widower
Diane is being pushed by her overprotective mommy daughters
(Alicia Silverstone, Katie Aselton) to sell her home and move
in with them in Arizona. She reluctantly accepts but starts
secretly dating airline pilot Mitchell (Andy Garcia).
This is fine. It's fine. It's perfectly fine. It's nothing to
write home about but it's perfectly fine. It's great to see these
veteran actresses doing solid work. They've drag along several
of the old veteran actors with them. Diane has the most compelling
plot. Her daughters add a real external hurdle unlike the others
although it gets overblown when they catch her in the swimming
pool. It needs to be something more. Maybe they bail her out of
jail for something silly or catch her naked in public. It needs
to be more or else they are way over reacting to a ridiculous
degree. Carol is the next compelling character. Her problem with
Bruce is realistic. They have real tension and they have one
fun scene with a lady cop. Sharon's story is less compelling
until we meet her ex. Finally, Vivian has the least interesting
relationship. The self doubt is empty and the relationship has
no real road blocks other than the self-imposed ones. The women
are perfectly fine and their friendship seems genuine. That's
all.! - SnoopyStyle B-
