Trivia
The quote at the beginning, "How does a woman in her 70s end up getting married? It all started when the world shut down.", is Diane narrating, not Carol.

Quotes
Sharon: Life is what you make of it. So do something. Do something brave. Do something unexpected. But do something, because you have four women in a jail cell who are desperately hoping for a reason to believe there's still a reason to believe. So do something, goddammit, because this isn't the end of the freaking story.

Crazy credits
The first half of the credits represents the whole movie in a nutshell in drawings. The 2nd half of the credits presents a slideshow of photos of behind-the-scenes footage. Mary Steenburgen's real-life husband, Ted Danson, appears in a couple of them.

Sad on so many levels

I don't see how this film could be much worse, and it saddens me to watch four of the most talented, dynamic, personable female actors of their generation in this cringeworthy mess. Lame jokes about being old, silly and non-romance (I celebrate any well done late-life love story, but come on!), cliche upon cliche and basically phoned-in performances all around. Sorry to be so negative, but these women deserve better, beginning with a better script. I couldn't bear to watch all the way through, so I will hope that somehow I am wrong and just stopped watching too soon. The first Book Club movie was entertaining, and I thought the characters were interesting and funny, but this one left me cold.
