Book Club

Most of the reviews I read said it was dreadful but there was one which was quite complimentary. Given what everyone on here has said, it makes you wonder how such a dreadful film got even one good review.

Oh dear, my sister-in-law in Canada phoned on Sunday saying she had seen it with a friend and I should see it too. I will have to ‘forget’ to .look out for it.

We went to the Senior Vue yesterday to see Black Panther, and they’d changed the film. Yes, The Book Club. I was pleased...until I saw it. Oh dear. We just wondered how they decided which of the four actresses got top billing (Diane Keaton, as it happens) and how Mary Steenburgen (amazing figure/legs still btw) came last.

We saw it as a Times freebie. I totally agree, it’s terrible. How four excellent actresses could demean themselves to be in such rubbish, I don’t know.
I can only suppose they have some hefty tax bills to pay !
Jane Fonda has so much plastic surgery, her face is stuck in one position, she was playing a woman of 60, I believe she is 80. Sadly, she’s becoming doddery, and it showed.
I would have walked out, but was in the middle of a row, and didn’t want people to think I was being a prude and disapproving of the constant, rather than the acting!

DD said much the same.
