Overcoming an icky concept and title – Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon star as former rock groupies who reunite decades later – The Banger Sisters uses
genuine humor to explore the ways we deal with our former selves. Both Hawn, as the barmaid still living in the past, and Sarandon, as the uptight suburban mom trying to live past it, are perfectly cast, while Geoffrey Rush has a nice supporting turn as a writer haunted by the domineering father of his youth.
