How it feels

Two women who used to be best friends and rock groupies in the 1970s have not seen each other for decades. One of them is still living a wild and carefree life, while the other has settled into a conventional family life in the suburbs. The free-spirited one shows up to reconnect, forcing them both to confront their past choices.

What happens

The Banger Sisters is a 2002 American comedy drama film written and directed by Bob Dolman, and produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film stars Goldie Hawn as Suzette and Susan Sarandon as Vinnie, two women who were best friends, and famous rock groupies, before they lost touch and went their very separate ways. After being fired, Suzette decides to crash back into her former friend's current, and radically different, conventionally respectable life. Released on September 20, 2002, the film was Dolman's directorial debut, and Hawn's last acting role until the release of Snatched in 2017, fourteen and a half years after the film's release.
