Overview

In the late '60s, the self-proclaimed belles of the rock 'n' roll ball, 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.

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.

Hot idea. Tepid execution.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

So insipid it may turn even superannuated hippies into raging neocons.

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten

There's a good movie to be made about fifty-something former groupies, but The Banger Sisters is not that movie.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

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.
