| AARP Movies for GrownupsTim AppeloIt's 50 times better than the Fifty Shades flicks. |
| NPRScott TobiasIt's a pleasant, no-stakes affair, as numbing as a two-glass buzz. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonFour legendary leading ladies can only do so much to elevate a flat and predictable comedy with a generic message about sassy seniors making the most of their golden years. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)John LuiWhile the movie is a romantic fantasy on one level, it makes an honest attempt to deal with the problems that older women face, both physical and mental. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyThe story may be cheesy and contrived but it's still great to see four terrific actors working together and creating comedy gold. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamIt's a comedy with heart and a message of friendship that goes beyond its simple, somewhat contrived premise. |
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Pamela PowellThe film captures an element of female friendship that perhaps most films typically don't. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIf Nancy Meyers were injected with some late stage, ensemble-theme-movie Garry Marshall, the result would be something like "Book Club." |
| Consequence of SoundCaroline SiedeA smarter film would’ve more deeply explored the interpersonal dynamics between these four very different lifelong friends, but Book Club presents its central quartet as a blandly supportive girl group and mines drama from their far less interesting individual romantic storylines instead. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA feel-great romantic comedy that will warm your heart. It's the rare funny, charming and delightful Hollywood film that baby boomers can just sit back, relax and enjoy with a group of friends and some chardonnay. |
