2. Book Club

It's the chemistry between Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen that really keeps this one afloat, while a sprinkle of Andy García never hurt anyone either.
It's light fluff of the most unapologetic variety, and even if you're far from the OAP demographic, you might find yourself surprised by how shockingly watchable this Old People Need Sex Too comedy is.
