Hawn and Sarandon are terrific together, but the hoary plot is predictable and contrived.

For some folks, the 1960s never really ended, and one woman still cheerfully stuck in the Summer of Love discovers her one-time best friend has left that decade as far behind as humanly possible in this comedy.

This is the directorial debut of Bob Dolman, who got his start scripting WKRP in Cincinnati, and as one might expect, he handles the comic material with aplomb and falls on his face whenever the story turns serious.
Hot idea. Tepid execution.
So insipid it may turn even superannuated hippies into raging neocons.
There's a good movie to be made about fifty-something former groupies, but The Banger Sisters is not that movie.

A lame script ruins a potentially good premise.
Watching movies like this, it's easy to understand actresses' common complaint about the quality of roles for women of a certain age.
The Banger Sisters is not a terrible film but ultimately a missed opportunity, an opportunity to show the outcomes of those deluded Band-Aids from Almost Famous, or even as a demonstration of the inevitable paths of people whose experiences peaked when th
As performances caricaturais do trio principal comprovam que até mesmo atores talentosos podem ser derrotados por roteiros pavorosos como o desta produção.
Despite its rock 'n' roll trappings, The Banger Sisters is like an After-School Special with better actors and more swearing.
The performances are easy to love while the story is not.
It might have been fun, but [director Bob] Dolman focuses on all the wrong things.
