The premise for Book Club involving
four senior friends who take new chances with their lives after deciding to
read Fifty Shades of Grey together sounded like something formulated by
studio heads. This low-brow high concept relied entirely on the cast of veteran
actresses, who most were just excited to see on the big screen without having
to be delineated to a supporting role. But other than providing entertainment
for an often-ignored demographic, Book Club was little more than sitcom
material repurposed for a feature film. Book Club: The Next Chapter
serves the same purpose, while also feeling like an excuse to reward these
legendary actresses with a European vacation in place of an improved script.
