Disappointing

I waited for this movie with great anticipation. The actors have done fine work in the past, and the previous Book Club movie was nicely done.But this Book Club: The Next Chapter is so flimsy it is embarrassing, mainly to women in general. As if women live in a world of teenage dreams and have no way of solidifying their identity without resorting to superficial concerns and external validations.For instance, the constant emphasis on clothes, or on how men love or do not love the women, or on the ideal, magical trip that is supposed to liberate you, or on what the fates want for you, or on what signs you are being given about your "destiny" - all this is just so tiresome and empty.The characters never seemed to be concerned about anything except their own private selves.And the ending was preposterous. It made the women seem as if they were completely inconsistent.

Easy and smooth

It has scenes that make you smile like in the first episode. You can choose to watch if you want to spend a pleasant time. Watching Italy through Bill Holderman's eyes is a different pleasure. Diane Keaton and Andy Garcia go well together. I wish they would come together in a different movie. It is a great chance for us to still see these beautiful people on the cinema screen despite their ages. If I come to Don Johnson's age, I want to look good like him. It is a great pleasure to be able to watch Giancarlo Giannini in this episode. Long live Giancarlo. Thanks to this movie, I realized how much I miss Italy. Wait for me Italy, I'll be there as soon as possible.By the way, I hope the same cast can make another episode.

Travelogue

A vastly disappointing film which ended up being a travelogue to promote visiting Italy post lockdown rather than being any actual story. They spent their whole budget (funded by Italian tourism no doubt) on dress design (which was quite good) rather than hire any writers who might have constructed an actual storyline between new outfits. Humour was confined to infantile sexual innuendo rather than any real response. They had here four consummate actresses and wasted their undeniable talents on fluff and advertising copy. Avoid at all costs (unless you like looking a clothes for two hours straight).
