Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe roles of Diane and Vivian were written for Diane Keaton and Jane Fonda right from the start.
- GoofsWhen Mitchell walks out of the cockpit while acting as Captain, he has several days' beard growth. Pilots are not allowed to have facial hair except for a mustache that does not exceed the corners of their mouth. This is due to the tight-seal requirements while using a rapid-donning oxygen mask in the event of the loss of pressurization in the cabin. Any sort of a beard prevents a tight seal of the mask and, thus, is not allowed.
- Crazy creditsDuring the end credits the black and white snapshot of the four ladies as young girls is seen again. Then the four leading ladies re-create the photo, the shutter clicks, and a black and white still frame of the four aging ladies is seen.

If This Were a Graph It Would Be a Straight Line
With such a stellar cast of favorites from my own generation, I expected this movie to be enjoyable. It wasn't! It was like watching an operation where the patient flatlines. I kept looking at the clock and wishing it was over.
I just adore Jane Fonda, and her show Grace & Frankie is one that I always find funny and unpredictable, and that I can hardly wait for the next episode of. Unfortunately, such was not the case with Book Club. There was nothing fresh or exciting about it in the least. I wonder if it was written in a hurry, or by a novice. I am not hard to please when it comes to movies; it has to be really dull for me to want it to hurry up and end. A lot of people said they laughed all thru it; makes me wonder if they have been living in a cave where they had few opportunities to watch a film.
The only redeeming aspect of this film, for me, was getting to see Fonda, Bergen, Keaton, Garcia, and Don Johnson (holy shades of pastel, he's aged well!); It's not their fault that the story was about as interesting as a trip to the grocery store.
