As always, Keaton has been keeping busy in the film world, grabbing roles in projects like Pixar‘s “Finding Dory,” HBO‘s “The Young Pope,” and everything in between. Last year, she starred in the ensemble movie “Book Club,” a romantic comedy starring Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen. However, despite the star-studded cast and good box-office numbers, the film received mixed reviews from critics and the public alike. But new year, new ensemble comedy; alongside Diane Keaton “Poms” will star Jacki Weaver (“Animal Kingdom“), Pam Grier (“Jackie Brown“), and Rhea Perlman (“Cheers“). Let’s hope this one will charm the critics a little more. Keaton will also be the executive producer on “Poms.”
