Book Club

On Tuesday, May 22, 2018, I went to the movie Book Club featuring Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen, Andy Garcia and Richard Dreyfuss.

The movie is about four friends, Diane, Vivian, Sharon and Carol (played by Keaton, Fonda, Bergen and Steenburgen) who have been friends for a long time.  They started a book club when they were young and have been doing this for a long time.  Each of them takes a turn to pick a book for the others to read.  This month, Vivian picks Fifty Shades of Grey.  Everyone seems reluctant to read the book, but they agree to do so because it's part of the book club.

And of course, each person in the book club has their issues romantically.  Diane is recently widowed.  Vivian was proposed to years ago, but she refused to get married.  She has instead had sexual flings with many men.  Sharon is divorced and sees her ex husband find her fiance online who's half her age and Carol is hoping to get her husband's attention, as they haven't been intimate in quite some time.

What happens in the movie?   You'll have to watch it to find out.  All I will say is that the book club does end up reading all three Fifty Shades books and they continue their lives and romance while it happens.
