Critics Consensus

Book Club: The Next Chapter's leading quartet remains eminently watchable, but they're underserved by its corny jokes and somewhat patronizing tone.

It’s the kind of film that exists for the sole purpose of entertainment, which it provides consistently.

Sara Michelle Fetters

MovieFreak.com

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Australian

What do you get when you put three Academy Award winners in a movie that has almost no plot and just a skerrick of a script?

Rated: 2/5

Book Club: The Next Chapter seems more focused on cashing in on the success of the first film than really investigating the lives of the women they had the audience invest in the first time around.
