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

Hollywood could've done something different with the casting, we talk about inclusion and diversity but if there was a different way of casting, it wouldn't change the film at all but how we feel about it.

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.

It's great to see these veterans working in major roles, but a shame that the characters they play aren't more interesting.

It's not so much the reductive message that the path to happiness must be walked alongside a man; more that the writing is wincingly awful.

Aug 25, 2018Could have been better. 4 books mentioned at the book group and three of them are the 50 shades of Grey trilogy. Borderline insulting, actually and such a cliche. The actresses are all good, but the storyline does them no favours.Nicki M Super Reviewer

Aug 16, 2018While the material was thin at times, the veteran actresses make you care because how talented they are. THe story is slow but it's realistic and not too sugary sweet. Keaton, Fonda and Steenburgen have some fine moments but Bergen was the strongest in my mind and the men who supported them in Garcia, Johnson, Nelson and Dreyfus were just as strong. A nice rental but nothing much more! 08-15-2018Christopher O Super Reviewer

May 27, 2018Hey Diane Keaton 1976 called and wants its Annie Hall routine back. This mediocre movie's message in these days of female power enlightenment is that they must have a man to lead a fulfilling life. Maybe their choice should have been Moby Dick. (5-26-18)John C Super Reviewer
