The Banger Sisters

         

The MM - "Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon costar in this female buddy film about the reunion of two sixties Los Angeles music groupies. Hawn, show casing her plastic surgery, is still living in the sixties and bartending on the Sunset Strip but gets fired for having a lax attitude towards current house rules for employees. Hawn's untimely termination prompts a road trip to pay a surprise visit to Sarandon who has married rich, prim and proper, and moved to Phoenix. Sarandon's real life daughter Eva Amurri plays one of her thoroughly modern Arizona daughters along with Erika ChristensenGeoffrey Rush adds some comic relief but his role could be completely eliminated. The reunion in the desert provides laughter and nostalgia but this movie suffers irreparably from chronic superficiality. One positive note is that at least its better than its stupid title."
