Director Bob Dolman was at least smart enough to cast two actresses capable of finding the note of truth in this story and playing it beautifully.

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

Reviews for The Banger Sisters
The performances are easy to love while the story is not.

When the groans outnumber the laughs, you know you're watching a bad comedy.
09/20/02
Hawn and Sarandon manage to pull off the transition back into party girls, if barely. I'm just glad Bea Arthur and Betty White passed on the script.

Top CriticThe movie wavers between Hallmark card sentimentality and goofy, life-affirming moments straight out of a cellular phone commercial.

...a dirty little comedy about two former rock groupies reconnecting after decades apart.

Silly? Yes. Soppy? Yes. Fun? Oh yes...

Promising but disappointingly moralistic and superficial film.
09/09/02
Dolman ambles toward the obvious ending like an old mare returning to a barn in anticipation of oats, and no feathers get ruffled.
09/20/02
Hawn and Sarandon hit the ground running, and are so funny and goofy that they distract and delight us.

Top CriticA lot of fun, with an undeniable energy sparked by two actresses in their 50s working at the peak of their powers.

Top CriticHawn lets it all hang out in this film and I have to admire her guts. Sarandon is equally bold and daring in her portrayal of a woman who has lost her way in a closet full of beige suits.

Shot through with belly laughs and bawdy energy, it boasts Goldie Hawn's best performance in years.

As performances caricaturais do trio principal comprovam que até mesmo atores talentosos podem ser derrotados por roteiros pavorosos como o desta produção.

...what point is there to a film about friendship when you don't have a clue as to where the friendship should actually go?
10/03/02
Diversión que no pretende innovar o dar respuestas, una de esas cintas que puede verse sin mayores culpas en la sala de cine. Goldie Hawn vale por completo cualquier precio que pueda pagarse por la entrada...
