Opera House pages ‘Book Club’ showing

Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Diane Keaton and Mary Steenburgen star in “Book Club: The Next Chapter.”

The next film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center is the romantic comedy “Book Club: The Next Chapter,” starring Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Diane Keaton and Mary Steenburgen. It will be screened on Sat., June 24, and Tues., June 27, at 7:30 p.m.

This highly anticipated sequel follows four best friends (Keaton, Fonda, Steenburgen, Bergen) as they take their book club to Italy for the fun girls trip they never had. When things go off the rails and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure.

Collider calls the film “a raucously funny movie that will leave audiences ready to grab their gal pals and set off on an adventure to Italy.” The Toronto Globe and Mail says “the best thing about ‘Book Club: The Next Chapter’ is seeing these remarkable actresses do what they do best.” Film Critic Rex Reed says “it’s the kind of film that exists for the sole purpose of entertainment, which it provides consistently.” Rated PG-13 for some strong language and suggestive material, “Book Club: The Next Chapter” runs one hour, 47 minutes.

Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.
