Hello Again Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Lawbolisted Powerful

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
wes-connors Accident-prone Long Island housewife Shelley Long (as Lucy) chokes to death on a South Korean chicken-ball, then comes back to life after a spell cast by her kooky sister Judith Ivey (as Zelda). To avoid being sent back to her grave, Ms. Long must find true love with either her doctor Gabriel Byrne (as Kevin Scanlon) or widowed husband Corbin Bernsen (as Jason Chadman). "Hello Again" appears to be an update of "My Favorite Wife (1940) and "Move Over, Darling" (1963). For added fun, Long's "Lucy" is given some physical comedy which recalls the famous comedienne. Lucille Ball lost her dress in "Yours, Mine and Ours" (1968) and had several eating mishaps like those herein, but she wasn't clumsy. Long and director Frank Perry can't quite get the staging and situation to make for maximum laughter.**** Hello Again (11/6/87) Frank Perry ~ Shelley Long, Judith Ivey, Gabriel Byrne, Corbin Bernsen
entrapment27 Hello Again isn't getting the recognition it deserves.It's a funny relaxing movie that does indeed leave you sighing with contentment.It always does for me. It's about a housewife, Lucy Chadman married to an upscale doctor and is unhappy with her present career and comes to an untimely end while eating a south korean chicken ball. Her wacky sister Zelda dabbles in magic and manages to bring her back to life. Now Lucy must piece back her life with help from her handsome doctor and find true love within the next full moon or she has to go back. The movie is memorable because of the quirky story , Gabriel Byrne's admiring eyes for Lucy and the nonstop comedy.Don't listen to most of the reviews, this movie is definitely worth watching!my rating: 10/10!
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.
lastsea All right, so it's not the great epic of our times, but it's pretty cute. Gabriel Byrne gives a good performance as Kevin Scanlon, the workaholic doctor who falls in love with Lucy Chadman, a nonsensical suburban housewife resurrected a year after her death. Byrne combines wry humour and determination nicely - and is the reason I've seen the movie as many times as I have. Shelley Long bubbles as usual, in the role of Lucy, a woman who must choose between her old life, and her second chance for happiness. It's a cute 80's romantic comedy, and an enjoyable anecdote.
