    For thinly scripted fluff, The Banger Sisters sure is a lot of fun. With Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon as former groupies now settling into their fifties, this predictable comedy gets a zesty boost of vitality and unsentimental nostalgia. Trouble is, Lavinia (or Vinnie, played by Sarandon) is an uptight Phoenix housewife with a lawyer husband, two spoiled daughters, and a calendar full of charity benefits. Free-spirited Suzette (Hawn) remained true to their past as the notorious rocker-lovin' Banger Sisters, and when she visits Vinnie after decades apart, it's not long before Vinnie rediscovers the lively self she'd buried under her drably expensive wardrobe. It's conspicuously formulaic, with Geoffrey Rush as another buttoned-up character liberated by Suzette's fun-loving wisdom. And yet, as Goldie channels the "Penny Lane" vibe that her daughter, Kate Hudson, brought to Almost Famous, this light and laugh-worthy movie reminds us that it's never too late to indulge a bit of rock & roll abandon. --Jeff Shannon

    If you love Goldie Hawn & Susan Saradon, you will love this comedy about these 2 ladies. It's highly entertaining and witty. Take a chance, add this movie to your collection & enjoy.


    5 out of 5 stars movies for housewives   April 14, 2009

    This movie is great, we get so wrapped up in being a Mrs, a mom and others that we lose sense of ourselves.


    2 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure or Just a Weak Film? You Decide.   August 10, 2008
    Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA)
    At best, "The Banger Sisters" is a guilty pleasure. A really guilty one. At worst, it's a weak film with a truly questionable message about family and acceptance. The actors and actresses all deliver passable performances, but the script, in this instance, is what is lacking. The beginning of the movie had promise, and I felt that we were truly supposed to sympathize with Suzette (Goldie Hawn) who has spent her entire adulthood pining for her rockstar-groupie past, which is truly sad. She was a sympathetic character with, what I thought at first, had a few layers... and she was interesting to watch. But then, when I discovered that writer/director Bob Dolman wanted the message to be that Suzette is RIGHT to live in the past and that when her former-group, current stuck-up mother Vinnie (Suzan Sarandon) should dress up in ill fitting pants and join her, I began to feel a bit queasy.

    I think Dolman messed up a bit in scripting this movie. He could have written a cute little film that showed Suzette teaching Vinnie how to cut loose, and at the same time, Vinnie could teach Suzette some responsibility. But instead, Vinnie became a Suzette clone fifteen minutes into hanging out with her, and began to act like a... well, a groupie. And when her husband and daughters react to this instant and drastic change, Dolman seemingly wants us to sympathize with VINNIE, not the family. So this somewhat promising concept deteriorated into a script with weak, weak writing with absolutely no understanding of how people interact with each other and what makes a relationship healthy.

    This movie could have been entertaining. Perhaps if it were told through Harry Plummer's (Geoffrey Rush) point of view, it could have been an inspiring flick with a somewhat stable message. Because Harry had a nice little subplot that was truly engaging, and basically saved this movie from becoming a total dud by the end. Because truly, in the end, the only sympathetic characters in the whole film are Harry and Vinnie's poor husband.

    I'm not the kind of guy who really looks for a message in a film. Moral ambiguity is fine with me, and makes for some superbly written movies. However, if you're going to shove a message in your audience's face like this movie did, make sure it isn't a terrible one.

    4/10



    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Delightful!   April 15, 2008
    S. G. (IA)
    I caught this one by pure chance with the DVD - a sanitized version with commercials, no less! I still found this film absolutely delightful, and laughed out loud on several occasions! Not deep, by any means, but Susan and Goldie are perfectly cast in this roles. I absolutely loved watching Vinnie's (Susan) transformation to be true to herself and pass this on to her daughters. While the drugs and sex references - even in the 'clean' version - aren't acceptable for the younger audiences, I'd highly recommend this film for a 'Girl's Night Out' DVD with your best friends and a pitcher of marguaritas!


    2 out of 5 stars BOB DOLMAN, OPUS 1   February 22, 2008
    wdanthemanw (Geneva, Switzerland)
    ** 2002. Written and directed by Bob Dolman. Golden Globe nomination for Goldie Hawn. Twenty years after, two friends remember their debauched youth as groupies. If Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon's performances may please you if you're a fan, like me, of these actresses, you'll be alas horrified by the vacuity of the screenplay of this film.
