Movies: The Banger Sisters

Back in the 1960s, Suzette (Goldie Hawn) and Vinnie (Susan Sarandon) were rock-‘n’-roll groupies. You know–lots of sex, dope and bad hairstyles. An increasingly disheveled Suzette still hangs on to the old lifestyle, while her pal–they aren’t really sisters–has gone rich, suburban, uptight. Suzette visits Vinnie, looking for a loan, and manages to loosen up both her and her family. Writer-director Dolman’s comedy isn’t exactly a barrel of emotional surprises, but its great cast underachieves admirably. There are worse ways to pass 94 minutes. –By Richard Schickel
