Watch The Banger Sisters For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

In First Wives Club, Goldie Hawn said: 'There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: "Babe", "District Attorney", and "Driving Ms.Daisy."' Goldie Hawn was for three decades the eternal babe. However, even for Goldie Hawn there came a time, when 'babe' was no longer possible. With Banger Sisters she is for the last time 'babe' and is also saying good bye to this role, as she realised that she is too old for this. Consequently, she never appeared again in any other movie after Banger Sisters, evidently as she does not want to become "District Attorney". Banger Sister is about two women looking back on their lives. They were friends when young but developed in different directions after separating. Suzette (played by Goldie Hawn) stayed 'babe' and worked as bar tender in music clubs, while Lavinia (Susan Sarandon) married a lawyer and politician and became mother of two daughters. They also meet Harry(Geoffrey Rush) who also looks back on his life and on missed opportunities. The film is not perfect. The speech of Lavinia's daughter at the end is just embarrassing. Otherwise it is sometimes funny, sometimes sentimental. The film is also about friendship and how friendship can develop (here between Suzette and Harry) and how friendship can survive over decades.

The Banger Sisters (2002): Dir: Bob Dolman / Cast: Goldie Hawn, Susan Sarandon, Geoffrey Rush, Erika Christensen, Eva Amurri Martino: Offensive title with sexual undertones regarding the term "banger." Goldie Hawn plays a rock music groupie fired from the bar she worked at so she sets out seeking financial aid by rekindling a friendship. She picks up an unstable screenwriter with a gun with one bullet purposed for his dominating father. She encounters her friend's drunken daughter after a prom party. She escorts her home and reunites with Susan Sarandon who gave up groupie life for motherhood. As predicted they struggle through differences but the biggest problem is the permissive attitude towards this behavior. Sarandon is outraged upon catching her daughter having sex in the pool but Hawn dismisses it. Director Bob Dolman does well with the flat material aided by the two stars. Hawn clearly running the show going from a life she never outgrew, to a life she feared facing. Sarandon surrendered to home life and is now refacing her past. How this is played through is not necessarily encouraging. Geoffrey Rush as the screenwriter serves no purpose. Erika Christensen recites her rebellious role from Traffic to a far lesser degree. It is unfortunately that a comedy featuring leads such as Hawn and Sarandon would be so dull, but that transpires here quickly. Potential theme warped by degenerate writing. Score: 2 ½ / 10

A movie that in a great and funny way brings us the message that it is always better to be true to oneself.I really enjoyed the movie. I like friends/bro kind of comedies and it was great to see a similar topic but with females over 50 in the main characters.The two were best friends in their youth and famous groupies. Then life has taken them apart and Suzette stayed who she was while Lavinia became an uptight lawyer's wife. When they meet again they get Lavinia back to what she enjoyed.I like the characters. Suzette is still a party girl but she is different from the young ones. One can see that she has experience in life and learned a lot from it. She is also a bit more thoughtful than one would imagine somebody like this to be towards the weird guy she picks up on the road or towards her friend. And Goldie Hawn does a great job. I am actually surprised this was her last big role, so she didn't make a movie over 12 years now! How Sad. Susan Sarandon also does a good job with Lavinia. Sure, the movie is too short to make her transition more complex, but she does the best with it. One believes her in all her moments.Besides the main characters the movie is also good with the supporting ones. Harry, greatly played by Geoffrey Rush, is a very unique and interesting character. His story adds a lot to the movie and one kind of wishes it was longer to see more. It was also fun to see Eva Amuri, Sarandon's daughter, playing her daughter here as well.All in all a great movie. It deserves a greater rating than it got here. A fun story, great acting, fun jokes and special moments. There should be more of those.

In Los Angeles, when the bartender Suzette (Goldie Hawn) is fired from the club where she works, she decides to travel to Phoenix and visit her friend and also former groupie of twenty years ago Vinnie (Susan Sarandon) to borrow some money. While on the road, she runs out of gas and without any money, she accepts to bring the stressed loser writer Harry Plummer (Geoffrey Rush) and in return he would pay for the gasoline. When she meets her old friend, now Mrs. Lavinia Kingsley, she finds a very conservative and traditional housewife, married with the successful lawyer Raymond Kingsley (Robin Thomas) and mother of two complicated teenagers, Hanna and Ginger. Their interaction along a few days improves their lives."The Banger Sisters" has a good premise, that some people never change while others repress their feelings, but it is badly executed. The idea of how people change their behavior when raise a family could be deeply developed based on the past of the two "banger sisters", but the way the forgotten and unknown past of Vinnie is disclosed to her family is absolute shallow and without any purpose. I believe Bob Dolman was lazy or afraid to shift to a profound drama, and preferred the easiest and most superficial way to make the confrontation between two exaggerated sides: the one who lives in the past and the other that does not use her experience to improve her relationship with her daughters and husband. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Doidas Demais" ("Too Crazies")
