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.
Movie Review: Trading Places
Summary: 4 Stars
I find it fascinating that Shelley Long quit "Cheers" to make movies like this. Because unlike TV actresses like Suzanne Somers, Shelly Long had real talent. In "Hello Again" Shelley plays the somewhat boring Lucy Chadman, a bored suburban wife who finds herself brought back to life; thanks to her sister. Despite the foolish plot, this really isn't that bad. It's one of those silly 80's movies that you have to laugh at because it is such a far fetched story. The supporting cast was pretty good, I especially liked Judith Ivy as Zelda the fun-loving psychic and Sela Ward as money-hungry Kim.Movie Review: You Can Go Home Again (Sort of)
Summary: 4 Stars
This is Shelley Long and Judith Ivey at their comical best. A little bit slapstick, a lot paranormal, silly fun. When her sister dies suddenly, Judith Ivey who owns a new age bookstore, is determined to bring her back by evoking a centuries old chant. However the life she led is not the life she returns to and chaos ensues. There are also a lot of more subtle "messages" about life's choices and what's really important along the crazy ride.Movie Review: thanks

I have been looking for this movie and now that I found it, I can throw out the VHS.
Movie Review: silly film?
Summary: 3 Stars
Shelly Long plays the wife of a doctor who chokes on a Korean
Chicken ball and dies, to be raised again by her occult
practicing sister. She falls for another doctor in her
second chance at life. There isn't a lot of serious
material in this script. It is a light hearted
romantic comedy with a few laughs about face lifts
as compared to child care in modern society?
The dog "flippy" seems to be as important a character
as many of the main players?
