For an hour and 44 minutes of fun, go ahead and watch Book Club, the spoof about four fifty- to sixty-something friends who venture off the track of their lives when they experiment with late-in-life romance.

Watch Diane Keaton coping with her two daughters in their thirties who want to protect and control her by moving her into the basement of one of their homes.
There's a lot of humor in that generational conflict and in the freedom Diane and Candice Bergen find as they become widows--and also in the the love Jane Fonda finds after a lifetime of keeping men at arm's length.
The fourth woman, Mary Steenburgen, gets into trouble trying to revive her husband's interest in sex by slipping a Viagara pill into his drink.
For Diane, love comes in the form of a handsome airline pilot she stumbles over in an airplane.
For Jane, it's an old flame, while Candice (a skeptical judge) tries her hand at on-line dating.
If nothing else, this film will prevent you from thinking about our disastrous president for 104 minutes--and that's worth the price of admission.
The sound track is fun too, especially Carole Bayer Sager performing "Living in the Moment" --the theme song for Book Club.
