Watch: The Banger Sisters 2002 123movies, Full Movie Online – In West Hollywood, Suzette, now on the far side of middle age, has always been a party girl, leading a life solely for the here and now. When the here and now leads to her without a job, no money and thus no sense of whether her partying life has gotten her anywhere, she decides to go into her distant past to visit in Phoenix an old friend, Vinnie, who she has not seen or talked to in twenty years. In their shared past, Suzette and Vinnie were Los Angeles groupies coined the Banger Sisters for their penchant to sleep with any and all rock musicians who came through Southern California. Suzette does know however that Vinnie’s life has changed, she married to Raymond, a lawyer who has political aspirations, the two who have two teenaged daughters. It is in part the reason she decides to visit now well off Vinnie, to see if she will lend her some money. Suzette reconsiders when she finds out just how far Vinnie has changed. She now goes by her full given name Lavinia, and is not only the model of conservatism and respectability, but will go to extreme lengths to control this respectable agenda, which probably does not include a friend from their wild past. Suzette guesses that Vinnie’s family may not know about her past life. If Suzette does decide to see Vinnie, she may upset Vinnie’s apple cart for good or bad. Suzette’s life is also mutually affected by Harry Plummer, a man she picks picks up on the way to Phoenix. With an extreme case of OCD, fifty year old Harry is failed Hollywood screenwriter who is returning to his hometown of Phoenix to conclude some business regarding what he considers his failed life..
Plot: 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.

Remembering You Were Once Cool Comes in Handy
There is a good deal of decent dialogue in this movie, and Goldie Hawn and Susan Sarandon know how to make the most of it. As a fan of old movies, I could never fault a script for being “formulaic.” Let’s face it, if you’ve seen a thousand movies, you’ve seen it all. As long as the writer gets it right, a movie can, at the very least, be admired. In this case, it can be appreciated. This movie is fun, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and there are some important messages: remember the importance of being supremely sure of yourself, of having a best friend, and of hearing Led Zeppelin in concert. It shouldn’t be relegated to the category “chick flick.” It is about a person who seems to drift aimlessly through life, and winds up portraying someone who makes a positive impact on many peoples’ lives. Watching Goldie’s/Suzette’s face as she and Susan/Vinnie start to dance for the first time in 20 years also made me remember something important: when women friends dance together, it’s different than men and women dancing. They enter into a partnership that says, for the next few minutes, we will do something cool together, and, sometimes, that’s an important thing to do.
