Movie Reviews of Hello Again

Movie Review: The Love of a Sister is Strong
Summary: 4 Stars

Lucy ( Shelly Long ) is a mild mannered housewife who gave up all to help out her husband ( Corbin Bernsen ) to become the plastic surgeon of his dreams. They had a son, who was a joy to his mom and who, inspired by his mom's herbs and cooking, loved to cook and create as well. Lucy's sister, Zelda ( Judith Ivey ), is a bit out there with her mystic beliefs and chants, but the 2 sisters love each other deeply. Lucy is the odd-man-out at most high society, "snob" parties, as she trips, gets parts of her clothes drenced in soup, and assists in the burning of a prized tuna on a spit for a meal. She always feels like she doesn't fit in with her husband's friends and colleagues, nor her glamorous friend Kimmy ( Sela Ward ), who goes through rich husbands like kleenex. Kim's last husband, unfortunately, didn't leave her any money, as he died shortly after he...had his "moment of passion", so to speak. ( If ya know what I mean ). Lucy goes to her sister's shop and takes a bite of Zelda's lunch, which is a chicken ball, and promptly chokes and dies from it ( gets caught in her throat ). The last thing she sees before she passes away is a friendly pair of caring eyes--the examination Dr's ( Gabriel Byrne ).

A year passes and many things have happened....Kimmie married Lucy's widowed husband, Lucy's son is a chief at a famous restaurant, and Zelda has found a way to bring Lucy back to life! After Zelda says the magic words and waves her crystal ball while at her sister's grave, Lucy comes back to life, but must adjust to the media scrutiny ( she did come back to life, after all ), the loss of her marriage, and the loss of her sense of self, i.e. wife and mother. She is sort of a fish out of water, all the while the media hounds after her. She begins to fall in love with the doctor whose eyes were the last thing she saw before she died a year ago, as he helps her with tests to see if she actually is alive and well.

Lucy's former husband has told her that he enjoys his new life with Kimmie and all the excitement she brings, but he likes all the attention Lucy is getting and wants to be a part of that, as well, but Lucy wisely rebuffs his advances. Kimmy sees her husband give a peck to his former wife's cheek and her jealousy rears its ugly head. She holds a press meeting telling everyone that Lucy is a fake and that she took some drug to slow down her heart and breathing rate, but she was still really alive. Lucy, wanting the press to get off her back and off of those that she loves as well, says nothing. Now the doctor that she has fallen in love with will be digraced as a nut, and Lucy feels terrible, as she was only trying to help. Together with the help of Zelda and Zelda's most interesting rich boyfriend, they prove the nay-sayers wrong and get a confession out of Kimmie that clears their names.

This is happily-ever-after type of movie and once in a while, ya just need one of these, especially after a downer day at work or whatever. The clothes/music/art are vintage 80's, but that's one of the things that just makes it so light hearted and fun.

Hope you enjoy it.

Summary of Hello Again

Housewife Lucy Chadman (Shelley Long of OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE and TV's CHEERS) comes to an untimely end while nibbling on an oriental chicken ball ... but says HELLO AGAIN when her wacky, mystical sister Zelda (Judith Ivey) brings her back from the great beyond! Only one year has passed but oh, how things have changed. Lucy's miraculous return creates laugh-filled pandemonium with everyone she re-encounters ... especially with her upwardly mobile husband (Corbin Bernsen, L.A. LAW) who is now wed to her "former" best friend! Suddenly solo, Lucy must piece together a new life -- in a riotous odyssey that bewitches her handsome doctor... bewilders her ex-husband ... and bedazzles both press and public alike!
