Summary: Great Light Movie With A Lot Of Laughs!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie! It was very funny! Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon made a great pair in this movie! It's about two women who were friends in the 60's, and Suzette goes to Phoenix to see her friend, Lavina and changes her world around. It's a movie about life not too be too uptight and to have some fun every once in a while. This movie was great. I would recommend it for all ages! The R rating is for a few cuss words. Go and laugh away!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice little film
Review: Besides the pornographic title, this movie is a nice, quaint movie. It's especially fun if you're above 40 years old. The only bad part is Rush's American accent. It's horrendous.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I actually liked the movie...
Review: I really did enjoy this movie. Goldie Hawn is just awesome. They couldn't have chose a better person for her part. She's what made the movie so great for me. The teens in this movie gave me several laughs & I thought they were really great. Although the story line was a little different I wouldn't put it in the dumb/silly comedy category like the Adam Sandler or Jim Carey movies. If you are not big on a little sexual humor I probably wouldn't recommend this movie but for anybody that can handle some sexual humor then I recommend this movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Weak Plot ,but Geoffrey Rush Gives a Good Performance!
Review: I like all of the actors in The Banger Sisters, Geoffrey Rush, Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon but the movie isn't very good.

It was the weak plot and the fact that most of the characters were unlikeable and far fetched that makes this movie so unenjoyable and the only likeable character is the sad sack played by Geoffrey Rush who does a great American accent and I would recommend this movie only for his superb performance!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Give Me A Break! This Unrealistic Movie Is So Lame
Review: This movie is great! I wish the movie would of been longer though! Once the two get to know each other, the movie almost suddenly ends. The script is cliched at times. They didnt describe the charcters fully, but it was still a good movie. I liked it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: FIRECRACKER FIZZLES
Review: THE BANGER SISTERS ultimately says that if you are a former groupie from the 60s and 70s and you continue living in this facade, you'll be a happy, fulfilled person. However, if you sell out and become a community/family oriented mommy to two spoiled brats, you'll never be happy? I don't think so, but the message here seems to be that if you go back and live your life by the minute (drinking, having sex with rock band members, sitting on billboards, getting high on marijuana) you'll feel you're being true to yourself. Today's loose moral standards give this movie it's boost, as we find mommy Susan Sarandon smoking a joint and doing things that make her seem "cool" to her daughters. Hawn's lascivious behavior is justified because Rush hasn't had sex in ten years, and she gives a good hand job. Morally questionable, THE BANGER SISTERS nonetheless gives a few laughs and the performances of Hawn, Sarandon and Rush are fun to watch. However, the message in this one is not one I find a worthy one to promote.

Summary: Predictable Chick Flick
Review: "The Banger Sisters" is everything I expected it to be: formulaic, undemanding, and fun. Vinnie (Susan Sarandon) lives a beige existence in a tony Phoenix suburb where she and her staid attorney husband are raising two teenage girls; she is the suburban matron to beat all matrons. When her long-ago fellow groupie friend Suzette (Goldie Hawn) arrives on the scene, all Vinnie's careful layers of respect are peeled back to reveal a rock 'n roller at heart, and she begins to see what she has sacrificed to arrive at her middle-aged life. Of course there's a sisterhood message - live true to yourself - but it becomes pathetic in the hands of these fifty-something year old actresses. The real fun comes in the chemistry between the actresses. Sarandon's transformation from repressed housewife to a straight-shooting woman is surprisingly nuanced. Hawn's Suzette is more ridiculous, both visually and in character, as her hippy attitude and floozy dress seem more worn than wise. Eva Amurri, who plays Vinnie's goofy daughter Ginger is charming in her small part while Erika Christiansen as her older sister Hannah is more lackluster. Geoffrey Rush as a man Suzette rescues from his own blandness is adorably enthusiastic, although his character's function in this thin screenplay is questionable.

This predictable chick flick is saved from complete obscurity by its stars who lend just the right element of fun to self-discovery. This is a good mindless flick that I'd recommend renting instead of buying. It simply does not have enough substance to warrant a second or third viewing.
