Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Pretty Good

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I'm a big Hawn and Sarandon fan but this movie was a mistake for both of them. It's just got nothing going for it. The acting isn't particularly bad, it's just not that that special, the performances realty aren't memorable. The script is lazily written, I was so immensely disappointed that it was so lazy because this film had so much potential to be a fun, entertaining film that really worked. But I'm sorry to say that the potential the film had was wasted big time. The characters are boring and there isn't nearly enough time devoted to developing them well so that we can feel more about them. The film also has little to no chemistry between the characters, it just doesn't work. The dialogue is weak and unimportant all throughout the film. I really wanted this film to be a funny, sweet, entertaining movie exploring the wild friendship between Sarandon and Hawn. The movie just doesn't do a very good job at accomplishing that. It explores it to do a degree, but lazily. The one single scene I liked in the entire movie was when the two were looking at old photos and reminiscing. That was the one scene that worked, nothing else. 2/10 for The Banger Sisters. I wanted to like it but it was just so bad.

This film is about a middle class wife having to face her unconventional past when her best friend from her past shows up at her doorstep uninvited.I find "The Banger Sisters" funny, genuine and heartwarming. The plot is about being true to yourself, and not be the person other people want you to be. Vinnie's changes in her personality is well portrayed in the film, making it a believable and satisfying change. Her journey of self rediscovery maybe clichéd, but it is heartwarming, affirmative and thought provoking. I enjoyed "The Banger Sisters" a lot, as it is positive, entertaining and fun.

Well i was surprised by this movie. I thought it was going to be a boring movie that was just about the past and how they friends grew apart. Well i guess i was wrong and i judged how the movie was going to be wrong. This movie was a nice fun movie. It shows you cant always change yourself for something else and sometimes yourself is better than who you wanna be. I think Goldie hawn acted very well in this movie. It showed another side of her. I would encourage you to watch it or have a different mind set while watching it. It also shows high school fun and sometimes you need to have the drive yourself and not others while they should just be guider's.

When fifty-something rock chick Suzette loses her bar job she heads out to Phoenix to beg some money off friend and fellow former groupie Vinnie, despite not having seen her for about 20 years. On her way there, Suzette runs out of cash and offers neurotic coach passenger Harry a lift if he pays for petrol. Once she gets to Phoenix she finds that "Lavinia" is now a respectable member of her community, married to a lawyer and a mother of two teenage girls and the unannounced arrival of Suzette is not something she appreciates. Despite Lavinia's attempts to politely reject Suzette, the latter settles back into the former's life.Even as much as an hour into this film I still hadn't really worked out what it was trying to do or what it was trying to achieve. The narrative was a strange mix of comedy and character drama that didn't really come together that well for the most part and I found this pretty off-putting for the first half. I think the problem was that I was actually interesting in the different paths that the two friends' lives had taken and I liked the contrast and was hoping it would produce a good drama. However after a brief flirtation with something interesting the plot falls easily into the obvious direction of the free-spirited Suzette helping Harry, Suzette and Suzette's family to "lighten up" and be better for it. In doing this it is never better than reasonably amusing and produced a few laughs and a pretty solid atmosphere of returning friendship but unfortunately it doesn't do anything that interesting. I would have liked if it had done something more interesting with the characters and questioned Suzette's life as harshly as it does Vinnie's.Hawn does the best she can with the character and produces a nice simple block but isn't able to search within herself due to the limitations of the script. Sarandon undergoes an obvious transformation but works well with Hawn in the later scenes. It is a shame that such a talented actress isn't allowed more to work with but if you only want the film to be a chick flick comedy then she is good enough. Likewise with Rush, he is better than the bookend of a character that he is given and I'm not sure why he even bothered. Christensen is pretty natural but Amurri is annoying while Thomas is just plain stiff.Overall then this is a so-so film that is amusing but doesn't do anything of interest with it. The very obvious "be true to yourself" plot is rather sullied by the suggestion that Suzette is "right" – a problem that could have been avoided if the script had been braver and placed her equally with Vinnie, instead of having her as the catalyst for everything good happening to the other characters. Amusing fare for some but it is difficult to overlook just how uninspiring and unadventurous it is.
