Book Club (2018 Bill Holderman & co-scr)

There's really only one reason for watching this: the cast. Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen, Candice Bergen, Richard Dreyfuss; plus Craig T Nelson, Andy Garcia and Don Johnson.

Four ladies' romantic lives change because they read the 'Fifty Shades' books. Yeah, right.

The opening photos have been badly Photoshopped, and that's indicative of a lack of care right from the off.

Particularly annoying are Keaton's two daughters who keep making out she's going to have a stroke any minute where she seems as hale and hearty as all the others. In making out it's celebrating romance in an older age it's actually pretty ageist. And I mean wasting Dreyfuss like that...

It was shot by Andrew Dunn, if anyone's interested.
