A lame script ruins a potentially good premise.

Hawn never stops surprising me at how truly talented she is...she's just a good actor, with an uncanny ability to own the words her character speaks.

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...

A story about the attempts of Baby Boomers to recapture their youth.

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

December 24, 2002

Not the greatest film, but nice to watch the clash between arrested development and nouveau establishment be smoothed out by something as great as love.

Talk about getting bangs for your buck! The Banger Sisters is a wonderfully observed, freshly inventive human drama told as a grown up comedy with some uproarious moments and outstanding performances.

Long Island Press

A wild, wicked and sad, before and after homage to rock groupies and how they age far from gracefully.

Cincinnati Enquirer

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

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

Aisle Seat

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.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

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.

Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)

Just another fish-out-of-water story that barely stays afloat.

Entertainment Today

A 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.

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide's Movie Guide

A 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.

Worth seeing for [Goldie] Hawn alone, and this is, by far, the juiciest role she has been blessed with in ages.

Marshall Fine
Journal News (Westchester, NY)

A giggle-inducing comedy with snappy dialogue and winning performances by an unlikely team of Oscar-winners: Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn.
