Friends, in fact, not sisters. But Suzette (Hawn) and Vinnie (Sarandon), the original rock groupies, were nicknamed as such in their youth by Frank Zappa, or so this story goes. Those days eat one’s heart out gone, but Suzette is still tending bar at the venue of her greatest memory - Jim Morrison passing out covered by her in the lavatory - wearing her rock chick clothes and silicone breasts well, while in the absence of to notice times acquire changed. Vinnie, though, has moved on. She’s now Lavinia with lavish house, two teenage daughters and a counselor-at-law hubby ignorant of her past. When Suzette gets fired and needs money, she turns to Vinnie in return helper; but the mould love Lavinia wants is Suzette showing up unannounced and exposing her former uncultivated ways. No prizes for guessing that, from one end to the other their differences, Suzette and Lavinia learn prevalent themselves. Once you’ve reined in any major expectations of this very mainstream comedy, and pushed aside the slightly leftover job of Hawn playing a grown-up Penny Lane (daughter Kate Hudson’s character in Almost Illustrious), the film’s actually quite waggish.
