The Banger Sisters movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Plays like a television pilot. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Hawn, giving her best performance in a long, long time, and Sarandon, who is almost incapable of bad acting, are funny and believable. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: A likable, cheerfully off-color comedy. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: There's a good movie to be made about fifty-something former groupies, but The Banger Sisters is not that movie. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Hawn, Sarandon and Rush are, quite simply, a fabulous trio of originals. They bring far more to The Banger Sisters than it deserves. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: A lot of fun, with an undeniable energy sparked by two actresses in their 50s working at the peak of their powers. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: The movie eventually snaps under the strain of its plot contrivances and its need to reassure. Read more
Ted Fry, Seattle Times: Sets up a nice concept for its fiftysomething leading ladies, but fails loudly in execution. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The movie wavers between Hallmark card sentimentality and goofy, life-affirming moments straight out of a cellular phone commercial. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: The film's vision of the '60s is like a bland cover version of a once-vibrant song. Even if you're tempted to sing along, you know you're missing out on something. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: This is the directorial debut of Bob Dolman, who got his start scripting WKRP in Cincinnati, and as one might expect, he handles the comic material with aplomb and falls on his face whenever the story turns serious. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: [Sarandon] and Hawn click with a lovable, kinetic kick -- much as Sarandon and Geena Davis did in Thelma & Louise. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: A shrewdly observed, relatively subtle and gentle satire that exudes genuine empathy and understanding for all its varied characters. Read more
Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly: Dolman's directorial debut betrays his stars. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Dolman confines himself to shtick and sentimentality -- the one bald and the other sloppy. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: It glistens and even sparkles, courtesy of a top-tier cast headed by Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Sarandon's motherly sexiness is appealing, but it's Hawn, in a warm and deep performance as the hapless but free-spirited Suzette, who walks away with the movie. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: So insipid it may turn even superannuated hippies into raging neocons. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon are an inspired dream team. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: 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. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Hawn and Sarandon hit the ground running, and are so funny and goofy that they distract and delight us. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Watching 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. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: What 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. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: It'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. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: [Plays] in broad outline as pandering middle-age buddy-comedy. Read more
