Is it really possible for a film to turn out bad that has both Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn in it? Normally, I would say that there is no way, but I now have to change my opinion after sitting through the mind-numbingly stupid 'The Banger Sisters.'
Why'd you do it, Susan and Goldie? Why?! I love these two gals; they are two of my favorite actresses of all time. Unfortunately, they can't save this film. The previews that I saw led me to the conclusion that 'The Banger Sisters' would be a funny, good-natured, amusing film. Well, it wasn't funny at all, the writing was pathetic, the characters were poorly written, as was the whole film, and it was simply a waste of time.
Sarandon and Hawn disappointed me. Not with their acting (because they both are wonderful actresses), but with their choice to take part in this dribble. Geoffrey Rush has a major role in this film for some unknown reason. You know, that was one of the main things that irritated me. I was under the impression that the two leading ladies would, in fact, be the leads. However, Hawn was on the screen for the majority of the movie, Sarandon's role was butchered, yet Rush had an incredibly big part. I was happy to see Eva Amurri play Sarandon's daughter; they really lit up the screen. I was just waiting to see Kate Hudson make a cameo somewhere, but of course, she didn't as I wished she would have. Erika Christensen was enjoyable as well.
The plot was all screwed up. I didn't like how The Banger Sisters' didn't even share the screen until about the middle of the film. The writing was simple and too generic.' I had heard beforehand that it was outrageously funny. I ended up laughing approximately five times while the person I was watching it with chuckled approximately seven times. I was that bored that I actually resorted to counting the number of times laughs were produced.
So, The Banger Sisters' was a huge disappointment. I had been wanting to see it ever since it was playing at the cinema, but now I wish that I never had watched it at all. Performances didn't let me down, but I was just not amused by the casting (Rush), or the setup of the acting. I shall not recommend this to anyone.
