The Banger Sisters

    The Banger Sisters
    2002

    Synopsis

    In the late '60s, the self-proclaimed belles of the rock 'n' roll ball, rocked the worlds of every music legend whose pants they could take off -- and they have the pictures to prove it. But it's been more than two decades since the Banger Sisters earned their nickname -- or even laid eyes on each other. Their reunion is the collision of two women's worlds; one who's living in the past, and one who's hiding from it. Together they learn to live in the moment.

      Sarandon's motherly sexiness is appealing, but it's Hawn, in a warm and deep performance as the hapless but free-spirited Suzette, who walks away with the movie.

      A lot of fun, with an undeniable energy sparked by two actresses in their 50s working at the peak of their powers. Juicy roles for older women? Let the revolution begin.

      Hawn mows down everything in her path with a giggle. It's great fun to watch her just eat up this movie.

      A too-pat but very funny comedy.

      Washington Post

      The sexual frankness is refreshing. As Suzette and Lavinia banter, their dialogue often suggests how "Sex and the City" might sound 20 years hence.

      Watching Sarandon and Hawn sashay through their paces is its own reward.

      New Times (L.A.)

      It has its moments, but they never add up to a record you'd want to play again and again in its entirety.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      Could have taken a witty scalpel to baby-boomer posturings. But Dolman, whose instrument of choice is the rubber mallet of smarm, just isn't the man for the job -- he ends up enshrining the very hypocrisy that should be dissected.
