	The Banger Sisters
		The Banger Sisters is a light piece of nothing, for the most part devoid of any substance, but moderately amusing to watch, mainly due to its two stars, Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon.
		She was just fired from the venerable Whiskey, and doesn't know what to do, so she's off to Phoenix to visit her best friend from the day, "Vinnie." Suzette and Vinnie were the notorious Banger Sisters, companions to many rock stars and the occasional roadie.
		The Banger Sisters may be enough to put a smile on some people's faces, but is a little too in substantial to make any sort of permanent impression.

	The Banger Sisters (2002) Movie Review
		In the character of Suzette, a past-50 former groupie who is still desperately holding on to her old life and her old sexuality even as she is finally learning that she is becoming obsolete, Hawn taps in on a depth of emotion and pain that makes it obvious this role has touched her deeply.
		Lavinia's perfect existence becomes complicated when free-spirited Suzette blows back into her life after twenty years apart, and Lavinia is forced to confront the wild past that she has hidden for so long from her husband (Robin Thomas) and daughters (Erika Christensen and Sarandon's real-life daughter Eva Amurri).
		You also have to give The Banger Sisters credit that it is the very rare film that will actually seriously look at the sexuality of two women who are over 50 without making a gross Farrelly Brothers joke of it.

	Top Box Office Movies - The Banger Sisters
		But The Banger Sisters is a relentlessly lightweight and underdeveloped vehicle that wants to evoke the feminist frivolity of Thelma and Louise (interestingly enough a previous Sarandon cinematic vehicle) with the introspective loony touch of the wistful aforementioned Almost Famous.
		The Banger Sisters only scratches the surface as a tawdry examination of mature females trying to identify with their true inner selves as a sense of feminine fearlessness.
		The Banger Sisters occasionally exhibit a raw sense of sexuality that compliments the alluring maturity of bombastic babes Sarandon and Hawn.

	dOc DVD Review: The Banger Sisters (2002)
		I thought of this while watching The Banger Sisters, a film in which two ex-groupies meet up after one has become prim and proper while the other still keeps up with the manic lifestyle of her younger days.
		In their younger days Suzette (Hawn) and Vinnie (Sarandon) were legendary rock groupies, nicknamed The Banger Sisters by Frank Zappa; they hung out with rock stars in the sixties and seventies and have the Polaroids to prove it.
		Suzette still works at the bar in which she spent so many nights as a Banger Sister, that is until she is fired and faced with eviction.

		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.
		"Banger Sisters" is not laugh out loud funny, but there are priceless funny moments, as Suzette and Vinnie are caught with a toke in Lavinia's basement, while browsing through the Polaroids they took of memorable "parts" of their affairs with rock icons.
		Vinnie (Susan Sarandon) lives a beige existence in a tony Phoenix suburb where she and her staid attorney husband are raising two teenage girls; she is the suburban matron to beat all matrons.

	Banger Sisters, The (2002): Reviews
		What The Banger Sisters offers in place of an eloquent statement is the charm of two actresses at the top of their game in flashy roles and a smart script that's decidedly more coarse than sentimental.
		The Banger Sisters stands as proof that no movie is so bad it can't be redeemed by a single stellar performance.
		The Banger Sisters so frequently features Hawn running around in revealing attire, tossing instructions at exhausted people that I'm inclined to think of it as a workout video.

	The Banger Sisters : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		This is a shame, because Sisters introduces unusual characters that deserve to be explored, starting with Suzette (Hawn), a former groupie and by-product of the “free love” era who refuses to admit times have changed.
		Fired from her bartending job at the famed Whisky A Go-Go, Suzette hits the road to Phoenix to rekindle her fizzled relationship with her former cohort, Lavinia “Vinnie” Kingsley (Sarandon), the other half of the infamous Banger Sisters.
		Sisters spins its fascinating characters in a circle for two hours, then unceremoniously dumps them into a tidy resolution.

		The eponymous sisters are a couple of girlfriends with a groupie past who haven't seen each other for years.
		On the DVD: The Banger Sisters is presented in widescreen with a throbbing Dolby soundtrack.
		In THE BANGER SISTERS, Goldie Hawn doesn't giggle as much as she did thirty-two years ago on "Laugh-In", but, under that unruly mop of blond hair, she can still give that crooked little grin that's just so darned appealing.

	DVD REVIEW: "THE BANGER SISTERS"
		Yet, it never manages to be the insightful or hilarious comedy that it wants to be and thinks it is. A great deal of that's due to the filmmaker taking both the easy and safe way out of what could have been some intriguing, explosive and rather funny material.
		It doesn't take a film degree or much more than common sense to realize that the repressed "sister" will loosen up, remember and return, at least in part, to her more carefree ways.

		The Banger Sisters tells the story of two sisters.
		One sister, now a punked-out waitress, is only too happy to wax nostalgic about the good old days, while the other, a prominent socialite, is desperate to hide her past.
		Erika Christensen, currently on screen as Michael Douglas' drug-addicted daughter in "Traffic," is in a lead role in “The Banger Sisters" playing Susan’s daughter, a seemingly perfect girl who, under constant pressure to meet her mother's high standards, begins experimenting with drugs and sex.

		It was nice to see the sharp contrast between Suzette and Lavinia and see how, after all those years, Hawn was still clinging onto her groupie days.
		I couldn't' help but notice how Hawn's daughter Kate Hudson was a rock groupie in "Almost Famous" and could have been the same character her mother portrayed in "The Banger Sisters".
		"The Banger Sisters" is one of the brightest comedies of the year and I would recommend it to just about anyone.

		The expected oomph of the stars of "The Banger Sisters" stopped short with a clank.
		Overall, I was very disappointed with "The Banger Sisters".
		The movie is rated R for language, sexual content and some drug use, so leave the kids at home if you are brave enough to see this film.

	"The Banger Sisters" - Salon
		"The Banger Sisters" is a highly entertaining and refreshingly nonjudgmental movie about that rock-and-sex daydream 20 to 30 years after the fact.
		But as with so many Hollywood pictures, there's a subtler, better movie lurking within the crowd-pleaser, and in the case of the "The Banger Sisters," it's not so hard to tease it out.
		Goldie Hawn is Suzette, a 50-ish rock 'n' roll fun girl who, even though she still looks pretty damn good, suddenly realizes she has to reckon with the fact that times have changed.

	THE BANGER SISTERS - DVD
		By any rational standards, The Banger Sisters is a terrible film: it's ugly to look at, riddled with inconsistencies, stuffed to bursting with hoary clichés, and completely unencumbered by anything resembling intellectual rigour.
		And yet, it's so sweetly lacking in malice that I forgave a lot of its sins--not enough for me to recommend it as anything other than a rental, but enough to say that those who dread the thought of a heartwarmer starring Goldie Hawn are in for a pleasant surprise.
		Given a project in Harry and a mission in Lavinia, she arrives only to discover that "Vinny" is now a well-propertied hausfrau who fears her former Sister's disclosures--and leading us to (rightly) fear that a life lesson for Lavinia is on its way.

		Much of the mood of "Sisters" is orchestrated by Suzette (Hawn), a big-hearted honey who never settled down.
		Sarandon's daughter in real life, Amurri in "Sisters" plays a much shriller sibling than the charmingly upbeat daughter she plays in the upcoming "Made-up." Here, she's loud and physical and almost steals the show.
		As for the big sisters, Sarandon goes through a bigger transformation, but she has less raw charisma than Hawn, who dominates the film.

		The Banger Sisters is a crowd pleaser, with a bland, feel-good story spiced up with some funny lines, frank sexuality and terrific performances by Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon.
		In The Banger Sisters, she's equally adept in a far lighter vehicle.
		Instead of digging more deeply and drawing more complex characters and motivations, he skims along the surface, plays to the mass market, and delivers a sitcom which will be forgotten a week after it is seen.

	The Banger Sisters
		The Banger Sisters is one of those rare movies where women over thirty-five are still viewed as sexually desirable and still get a happy ending without being punished like those arty-farty European movies tend to do.
		More than twenty years ago, Suzette and her best friend Lavinia Kingsley are dubbed the Banger Sisters because they are wild and hot groupies of rock stars everywhere.
		What I really like about this movie is that it doesn't offer any apologies for Suzette and Lavinia being the Banger Sisters in their youth.

	The Banger Sisters (2002) Movie Review by John Sylva at The Movie Insider
		Bob Dolman's The Banger Sisters proves quality adult comedies are still something of a possibility in an industry that's becoming increasingly youth-oriented with every airing of MTV's 'Total Request Live,' with each release of films like the Tom Green-starring Stealing Harvard.
		The unlikely duo's personality and image clash gives The Banger Sisters a surprising significance in regards to modern society, leading viewers to question what those self-absorbed PTA soccer moms spent their weekends doing a decade ago.
		Short and sweet, The Banger Sisters, speaking in both terms of Hollywood actors and the timelines of people's lives, proves that old can be every bit as good as new.

		Every once in a while, as I watched "The Banger Sisters," starring Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn, the thought went through my head: is this what might've happened to Thelma and Louise if they'd never driven off that cliff?
		Anyone who, at this point, doesn't realize Suzette will learn to let go of some of her past while Vinnie will learn to reclaim some of hers has probably found many similar surprises in a lot of Lifetime movies.
		But to anyone who remembers the skill with which Lawrence Kasdan dissected boomer dreams 10 years after college in "The Big Chill," "The Banger Sisters" is a wince-inducing disappointment.

		Two old pals -- groupies who snapped pix of the rock-star members they caressed in the '60s -- Suzette (Hawn) and Vinnie (Sarandon) were dubbed ''the banger sisters'' by, we're told, Frank Zappa (a slander on the dead, since Zappa invented a much better term for such women in ''Suzy Creamcheese'').
		''Sisters'' could have explored how female counterculturalists were exploited and liberated by hippie sexual freedoms, but instead, Dolman reduces Sarandon to an uptight suburbanite and writes Hawn as a bigger bubblehead than she ever was on ''Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.''
		Sarandon handles the initial embarrassment of introducing her friend -- and by extension her past -- to her husband and children with aplomb.

		"The Banger sisters" is a horrid and contrived piece of shit directed by a hack.
		During the scene where the leads look at the Polaroids, the actresses thought they would be blank pictures and when they turned out to be real photos, they were surprised and much of their dialogue during the scene is ad-libbed.
		"The Banger Sisters," as a name, may be somewhat based on the real-life Plaster Casters, a group of San Francisco groupies who, in the 60's and 70's, made plaster molds of rock star's cocks.

		In the pairing of Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon as best friends, the former as Suzette, a middle-aged woman who refuses to abandon her immature values, and the latter as Lavinia, a middle-aged woman who has cultivated the suburban lifestyle, The Banger Sisters feels like a private high-school reunion between two women.
		The two had slept with everyone from Jim Morrison to Frank Zappa – who gave them the moniker of “The Banger Sisters”.
		Even Christensen and Amurri, whose spoiled brat-like performance is the film’s standout, ease us to believe they’re lifelong sisters.

		When Suzette's world comes crashing down, she sets off in search of the one friend who might be able to rescue her, or at least give her a few thousand bucks.
