Shelley Long, in one of her post-'Cheers' failures, plays Lucy Chadman, a klutzy and basically likable Long Island housewife who is brought back to life - by her kooky new age sister Zelda (Judith Ivey) - one year after choking on a chicken ball. Naturally, she learns that she will have to start a new life as everybody else has moved on.
It may not have been a commercial or critical success, and I admit it's really no more than an average comedy (in terms of laughs) - but at the same time I found it so sweet and endearing that I still rather liked it. I have to admit that I do like Shelley Long - no matter how many detractors she's got, she still rates as a good performer in my book. The only character I've ever seen her play that was really intolerable was Diane Chambers. "Hello Again" is a good starring vehicle; her performance is enjoyable and supporting actors Ivey, Gabriel Byrne, and Austin Pendleton also do a good job.
Not a bad way to spend a little over an hour and a half.
7/10
