Four longtime friends and book club members--Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen--have their lives upended when they aim to spice up their mundane routines by reading the provocative bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey. With newfound confidence, they each begin to come alive as exciting romances are ignited and old flames are rekindled. Through it all, the ladies inspire one other to make this next stage of their lives the best and steamiest thus far.
When Mitchell steps out of the cockpit to talk to Diane, he commits several violations of the Code of Federal Regulations. Since shortly after 9/11 there has a requirement to follow a security protocol which includes verifying that there is no one besides the crew near the door and blocking the aisle in some manner. In this case, Mitchell simply steps out into the cabin. When he returns to the flight deck, he knocks on the door and they immediately open it for him without any sort of verification. To make matters worse, the flight attendant walks away leaving no one there to block the aisle as he re-enters the cockpit. Additionally, a flight crewmember is only allowed to leave his seat for operational or physiological reasons, neither of which is the case here. See more »

Fun, fun, fun movie - I'm going to see it again. So many laugh-out-loud moments. I would have loved to see more of Candice Bergen (a favorite!) and Richard Dreyfuss. Nevertheless I enjoyed the entire cast, movie and especially the music!
