Book Club

— Mildly humorous film most likely designed to appeal to an older, female target audience. Sadly, the characters are more stereotypic than anything, and the emphasis on “Fifty Shades of Grey” and Viagra humor was about as entertaining as a barrage of teenage “fart jokes.” What a shame too, since the cast us (Keaton, Fonda, Bergen, and Steenbergen) is capable of so much more.
