Reviews for The Banger Sisters
Top CriticHot idea. Tepid execution.
09/26/02
Top CriticSo insipid it may turn even superannuated hippies into raging neocons.
09/26/02
Top CriticThere's a good movie to be made about fifty-something former groupies, but The Banger Sisters is not that movie.
09/23/02
Top CriticThere are many things that solid acting can do for a movie, but crafting something promising from a mediocre screenplay is not one of them.
09/22/02
Top CriticFrom opening to closing credits, there isn't a single genuine moment.
09/20/02
Top CriticLike those to Rome, all roads in The Banger Sisters inevitably lead to a joke about Hawn's breasts, which constantly threaten to upstage the woman sporting them.
09/20/02
Top CriticIt's an audience flattering Hollywood movie about the redemptive powers of vulgarity and joy of letting it all hang out. Even if it isn't yours.
09/20/02
Top CriticWhat 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.
09/20/02
Top CriticThe script? Please.
09/20/02
Top Critic[Sarandon] and Hawn click with a lovable, kinetic kick -- much as Sarandon and Geena Davis did in Thelma & Louise.
09/20/02
Top CriticHawn, Sarandon and Rush are, quite simply, a fabulous trio of originals. They bring far more to The Banger Sisters than it deserves.
09/20/02
Top CriticA shrewdly observed, relatively subtle and gentle satire that exudes genuine empathy and understanding for all its varied characters.
09/20/02
Top CriticPlays like a television pilot.
09/20/02
Top CriticIt's both sitcomishly predictable and cloying in its attempts to be poignant.
09/20/02
Top CriticDolman confines himself to shtick and sentimentality -- the one bald and the other sloppy.

Top CriticHawn and Sarandon hit the ground running, and are so funny and goofy that they distract and delight us.
09/20/02
Top CriticWatching the two women rekindle their relationship is the great pleasure of the movie, particularly since it looks as if Sarandon and Hawn had a blast together.
09/20/02
Top CriticHawn 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.
