Reviews for The Banger Sisters
more than anything a disappointment, given its strong cast and interesting premise
10/02/02
'The Banger Sisters leaves you with a smile [but]...loses its imaginative bite...when all the ugly loose ends are neatly and unnaturally tied in a Hollywood bow.'
09/27/02
It's a movie that delivers a few good laughs and that's about it.
09/26/02
Hot idea. Tepid execution.

Top CriticSo insipid it may turn even superannuated hippies into raging neocons.

Top CriticThis movie is almost as sex and drugs free as its progenitor, Almost Famous.
09/25/02
There are few more gratifying moments in recent movies than Hawn forthrightly telling Rush, "I'm going to smoke. Endure it," as she plops down into a chair, crosses her legs, and lights up.
09/24/02
It's a shame they couldn't have put Hawn and Sarandon in a better movie than this.

Eva Amurri should have been wearing a sign that read, "My mom got me this job."
09/24/02
Just another fish-out-of-water story that barely stays afloat.
09/23/02
A quesy and overhashed films that could have been easily called: Almost Famous 2: Penny Lane's Last Dance
09/23/02
There's a good movie to be made about fifty-something former groupies, but The Banger Sisters is not that movie.
09/23/02
Top CriticA film not without its flaws, but with a great lead pair of actresses and a smart and fun story, these Sisters have enough sass and verve to make an afternoon or evening with them worth your while.

What we have in The Banger Sisters is half of a good movie struggling to fit into half of a mediocre one. The scenes between Hawn and Rush work best.
09/22/02
There’s something with potential here, but the movie decides, like Lavinia, to go the conservative route.
09/22/02
The Banger Sisters occasionally exhibit a raw sense of sexuality that compliments the alluring maturity of bombastic babes Sarandon and Hawn. Still, these ravishing relics just couldn't pull off a noteworthy tune to the same old song and dance
09/22/02
There 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 CriticA post-feminist fable of growing up and getting your groove back, and more importantly, a showcase for the mature charms of Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn.
