  • Condition: New
  • Format: DVD
  • Closed-captioned; Color; Dolby; DVD; Widescreen; NTSC
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.For a movie focused on the lives of two adult women who were groupies during the golden age of classic rock, it's the modern artists on the Banger Sisters soundtrack that steal the show. Buckcherry snarl and spit their way through spirited punk romp "Crushed"; Black Crowes vocalist Chris Robinson pours his heart out on a soulful piano-brushed 1970s rock emulation; and Ben Folds's Jackson Browne cover bounces with warm pop nimbleness. Vintage rockers fare rather well, too, especially ex-Yes guitarist Trevor Rabin's prog rock-meets-ethereal world music Animals cover, Peter Frampton's guitar acrobatics, and Steppenwolf's gritty hip-shaking. The only real eyesore here is Tommy Lee's abysmal take on Dav! id Bowie's "Fame," a stuttering rap-aggro-electro amalgamation that sounds like a robot falling apart at the seams. Otherwise, for fans of classic rock--or modern spins on the originals--the Banger Sisters soundtrack won't disappoint. --Annie Zaleski The last thing Phoenix wife and mother Susan Sarandon expected was for former best friend Goldie Hawn to show up at her door. And for Hawn, still embracing the hedonistic ways that made them legendary rock groupies in the '60s, it was to see Sarandon's prim suburban lifestyle. The now-mismatched duo's clash of values and ultimate reconciliation give this buddy comedy its bang. With Geoffrey Rush, Erika Christensen, Eva Amurri. 98 min. Standard and Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital Surround, Spanish Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles: English, Spanish; audio commentary; featurette; bloopers; theatrical trailer.For thinly scripted fluff, The Banger Sisters sure is a lot o! f fun. With Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon as former groupies! now set tling into their fifties, this predictable comedy gets a zesty boost of vitality and unsentimental nostalgia. Trouble is, Lavinia (or Vinnie, played by Sarandon) is an uptight Phoenix housewife with a lawyer husband, two spoiled daughters, and a calendar full of charity benefits. Free-spirited Suzette (Hawn) remained true to their past as the notorious rocker-lovin' Banger Sisters, and when she visits Vinnie after decades apart, it's not long before Vinnie rediscovers the lively self she'd buried under her drably expensive wardrobe. It's conspicuously formulaic, with Geoffrey Rush as another buttoned-up character liberated by Suzette's fun-loving wisdom. And yet, as Goldie channels the "Penny Lane" vibe that her daughter, Kate Hudson, brought to Almost Famous, this light and laugh-worthy movie reminds us that it's never too late to indulge a bit of rock & roll abandon. --Jeff Shannon
