Long time friends
Diane, Vivian, Sharon and Carol have been reading selected books and then talking
about it later. This time they are
reading the bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey written by E L James.
Everything about this
film is lukewarm!! The acting is
OK and all the actors are professionals.
It must be the writing?
There isn’t one thing that is new or anything that causes any excitement
or stirring of the emotions!! The
choice of hair color for Diane Keaton is terrible and that’s all I can say
about it. The other women look
good in the colors chosen for them and Jane Fonda looks nice as a redhead. 2 ½* (This film is so-so)
