In the late '60s, the self-proclaimed belles of the rock 'n' roll ball (Goldie Hawn), (Susan Sarandon) rocked the worlds of every music legend whose pants they could take off -- and they have the pictures to prove it. But it's been more than two decades since the Banger Sisters earned their nickname -- or even laid eyes on each other. Their reunion is the collision of two women's worlds; one who's living in the past, and one who's hiding from it. Together they learn to live in the moment.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hawn and Sarandon are terrific together, but the hoary plot is predictable and contrived.

Sheila Norman-Culp Associated Press No Oscar performances in this bunch -- just a string of funny moments in a film that accepts our flaws. Rated: 3/4 Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media A lame script ruins a potentially good premise. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2010 Full Review 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. Mar 18, 2010 Full Review B.L. Panther Paste Magazine But now, 20 years on, The Banger Sisters has a salty bittersweetness...The road becomes open-ended, a prescient suggestion that there’s more to the journey, more to herstory. Rated: B Oct 2, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...generally fares a whole lot better than the viewer might’ve initially anticipated... Rated: 3/4 Dec 3, 2022 Full Review Felicia Feaster Creative Loafing Suzette and Vinnie's wild girl reunion... is as dispirited and distinctly unmagical as the rest of this lame effort.
