Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
mrb1980 Shelley Long is very appealing and cute in this harmless movie. Long plays Lucy Chadman, a young woman who chokes to death, then months later is brought back to life by her wacky sister Zelda (Judith Ivey). Chadman's life has changed radically since her death, and she spends her time falling in love all over again.The film has an uncomfortably goofy atmosphere, as if it's spoofing something that isn't really identified; these sequences are interspersed with very romantic scenes in which Chadman is again falling in love. It's definitely a mixed bag, but the ending--which appears to have been tacked on after the writers couldn't come up with a story resolution--is so awkward and unconvincing that it ruins the entire film. In all of my years, I don't think I've ever seen a film with such an unbelievably dumb story resolution. I really felt sorry for the cast when I saw the ending.Long is good and Sela Ward is beautiful, but the goofy feeling the movie conveys irritated me somewhat, and the ending just left me dumbfounded. Proceed if you like Shelley Long, I suppose.
whpratt1 If you like Shelley Long and enjoy her great acting skills, you will enjoy the role she plays in this film. Shelly Long,(Lucy Chadman),"The Adventures of Ragtime",'98, is married to a doctor who performs plastic surgery and is very content with Lucy's slap stick ways of doing things. Lucy attends fancy parties with a bunch of stuffed shirts and manages to destroy her dress and the entire dinner party. There is a great deal of this comedy through out the entire picture. Judith Ivey,(Zelda),"What Alice Found",'03, plays Lucy's sister and owns a book store in Manhattan and at the same time deals with the Spiritual World and manages to perform an unusual act of Witch Craft! This is a very funny picture and if you like COMEDY, this is the film for YOU!
kirstymd Shelley Long... ugh!!! The female Steve Guttenberg of the 1980's. Hello Again is merely playing on the ideas that were already washed up in the 1930's screwball comedies, but had least had clever writers and fresh ideas. This is like watching the rejected pages for "Blithe Spirit" or "Move Over, Darling". Corbin Bernsen is just a smarmier Guttenberg.
909 Tripe of this sort never ceases to amaze me. What's worse, though, is the presence of good actors such as Gabriel Byrne. I hope that everyone was paid well for this film because I don't think they were doing it for artistic acclaim! Shelley Long has no business on the big screen...just as she had no business on television - and THAT'S saying something considering the sub-par acting that usually goes on in the world of TV actors. I have no problem with silly movies and cute story lines. But when a film is so obviously leading in one way with characters drawn with the largest strokes...it becomes a cartoon...and not a very funny one at that.
