What the Critics say | ||
| Die Burger Mariana Malan  Vonke spat toe oues '50 Shades' lees. | 15 |  |
| 24.com Gabi Zietsman Book Club can really be watched by anyone, although it may lean a bit more towards a feminine audience, many of the male critics laughed just as hard as me in the cinema. | 15 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Yes, I realize the film is about the ladies and is for their gender in the audience, but that shouldn’t stymie depth and dimension for all who appear on the screen. Perhaps if the film is enough of a hit, those who ultimately make Book Club 2: Twilight will step up their game and take better advantage of having a talented cast at their disposal. | 8 |  |
