Is Book Club: The Next Chapter worth watching? ›

Critics Reviews

Much like the first film, Book Club: The Next Chapter is another easygoing lark that does zero that's unexpected yet still generates just enough genuine laughter to make its sitcom-level simplicity bearable. Content collapsed.

Four best friends take their book club to Italy for the fun girls' trip they never had. When things go off the rails, and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure.

Book Club: The Next Chapter / Film synopsis

Jane Fonda, at 85, is the matriarch of the group, followed by Diane Keaton and Candice Bergen at 77. That would make Mary Steenburgen, at 70, the ingenue. All of them appear as vital and vibrant, sassy and saucy, as they did 20 years ago, which is a testament to whatever lifestyle routine they've embraced.

Production. In May 2022, Variety announced that Book Club 2: The Next Chapter, began production with Keaton, Fonda, Bergen, Steenburgen, Garcia, Johnson, and Nelson reprising their roles from the first film. Production occurred over the course of two months in Italy, including 10 days in Venice.

The plot is supplemented by a good cast who make the film a charming experience. I was just happy to see the likes of Keaton, Fonda, and Steenburgen working together even if it came decades after they were ever present in Hollywood. Perfect film to just sit and enjoy with a glass of wine.

Four friends' lives are turned upside down when their book club tackles the infamous "50 Shades of Grey." From discovering new romance to rekindling old flames, they inspire each other to make their next chapter the best chapter.

Book Club / Film synopsis

Don Johnson plays Arthur in the Book Club: The Next Chapter cast. In Book Club, Johnson's Arthur convinces Vivian to take a chance on love again, and Book Club 2 finds them planning to marry.

Keaton has never married. She has two adopted children: a daughter Dexter Keaton (born 1995) and a son Duke Keaton (born 2000).

"Book Club: The Next Chapter" (in theaters) reunites Bergen with co-stars Jane Fonda, 85, Mary Steenburgen, 70, and Diane Keaton, 77, as the friends head for a long-delayed bachelorette party trip throughout Italy.

At 85, Jane Fonda is still taking on romantic leads in blockbuster films. I also couldn't help but notice that it is 73-year-old Don Johnson who plays Vivian's lovesick fiancé.

Is Diane Keaton related to Michael Keaton? ›

“I must've gone, 'I don't know, let me think of something here.' And I went, 'Oh, that sounds reasonable.'” Reasonable enough. Alas, Keaton has no blood relation to “Annie Hall” star Diane Keaton, whose real name is actually Diane Hall.

Book Club: The Next Chapter, a comedy movie starring Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, and Candice Bergen is available to stream now. Watch it on Prime Video, ROW8, Fandango at Home or Apple TV on your Roku device.

Fresh score. One does not go to a film like Book Club: The Next Chapter for Shakespearean drama that tests the morals of humanity itself, one goes to Book Club: The Next Chapter for innocent and heartfelt fun which the film delivers on excellently. Fresh score.
