Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

James Mottram

The literature-loving ladies are back in this funny and charming comedy sequel. Best friends Vivian (Jane Fonda), Diane (Diane Keaton), Sharon (Candice Bergen) and Carol (Mary Steenburgen) decide to take a trip to Italy for Viv's bachelorette party, after she gets engaged to her old sweetheart (Don Johnson). Their destination is Tuscany, but they're soon convinced to take a detour to Venice, prompting a cross-country excursion full of dramatic incident. Inspired by Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and its proclamations about taking fate into one's own hands, the film contains plenty of surprises for the quartet. Returning director/co-writer Bill Holderman knows the characters intimately, and he crafts an effervescent story that will appeal to incurable romantics of any age. Even if it panders to a touristy view of Europe, this is a sharply written, frequently hilarious tale about lifelong friendship and taking what you want out of life.
