Review by Mike Szymanski
You’ve driven past those snooty country clubs with those grand estates, high bushes, elite dress codes, impenetrable cliques and membership fees that mere mortals cannot afford. Maybe you’ve even eaten at the overpriced, over-rated restaurants at the club (there’s even a joke about how bad they are in the movie.) Inevitably, it’s obvious the club spends more time and money on the upkeep of the grounds than they do on the menu.
Writers/actresses/sisters Fiona and Sophie Robert captured the mood of such an uppity locale in the farcical comedy “The Country Club.” The movie is both endearing and irritating and will elicit laugh-out-loud jokes as well as groan-worthy moments. It’s the best example I’ve ever seen of an American teen comedy mixed with the absurd…
