Fun Stuff

Trivia:
During the "Rock Cock" sequence, the girls were shown Polaroids of the crew who had volunteered to be photographed especially for that sequence. The surprise on Susan Sarandon's face is quite genuine when she saw who the photographs were of and recognized the faces. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: While Suzette and Harry are driving to Phoenix, the El Camino's transmission is clearly in "Park". more
Quotes:
Suzette: Ever heard of Frank Zappa?
Harry: Sure. The Mothers of Invention.
Suzette: Wow. Very good Harry. Well, he named us. The Banger Sisters.

Not Funny At All, 6 October 2002
1/10
Author: Rami from San Francisco, CA, USA

No, sorry, didn't work on any level for me. Not funny in any way. The script felt like it as it was written from the male perspective about the way 2 male buddies would act if they had been put in the same situation as Suzette and Vinnie in this film. I am a big fan of both Susan S. and Goldie H. and find that these roles were embarassing for both of them. I thought G. Rush did a great job as did Susan S.'s daughter. But there was very little resolution and very little depth to all the events that took place. Why is it that Suzette is such a positive influence on everyone around her yet can't hang on to a loser job and an apartment? What makes Vinnie decide to finally accept Suzette in her world? What makes Vinnie decide to go back to the way she used to be? What makes Vinnie's family decide to "be true" all of a sudden? What make her husband suddenly accept that the woman he married had personal interaction with all of the genitalia in the rock world? Maybe it will all be explained in "The Return Of The Banger Sisters."
