The Book Club

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

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.

To have four female actors of this calibre in the one place and not give them something less mediocre is a lost opportunity.

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