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 03/16/2020 Stale jokes and cringe-inducing sight gags punctuate this creaky romantic comedy. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 09/14/2018 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. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 09/08/2018 To have four female actors of this calibre in the one place and not give them something less mediocre is a lost opportunity. Go to Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film 03/06/2024 The result is a rather dull and monotonous affair that shouldn’t have been made. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 02/16/2024 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. Go to Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut 08/16/2022 Book Club made me want to give up reading altogether. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Susan 05/20/2023 fantastic and funny movie See more Brenda 05/14/2023 The movie had great comedy and a a story to tell. Great actors! See more Katie D 03/15/2021 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... See more Janet D @DrJanet Nov 23 It started well, but then got slow and predictable. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 26 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 See more 03/22/2025 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. See more Read all reviews
