Hanging Up dvd
Added 8/7/2008
This is classic Keaton and Ryan, study of realtionship between alcoholic ailing dad and daughters, funny and sad. Definitely a keeper in my dvd library!

Tries...but misses
Added 11/12/2007
With this cast, I really anticipated this film to be interesting and funny. It made an attempt, but it failed. Most of the characters are self-absorbed. The story is weak. The only funny part is how the boy laughs--my son is going through that stage right now, too. However, that certainly is not enough on which to base a movie.
The acting by some of the cast is good. It is a waste of the talent that was in the movie. As much as I would like to, I just can't recommend this movie.

It's not that bad!
Added 9/20/2007
Hanging Up has gotten some horrible reviews but I think this film is quite good. Starring Meg Ryan, Lisa Kudrow, and Diane Keaton who also directs this film, is the story of three sisters who are very different from each other but unite and ultimately let go of some old age resentment through their father's illness. Ryan owns this film, she carries every scene and I think her dramatic side as an actress never gets the credit she fully deserves. Some of the scenes are a bit wacky but underneath is a warm and engaging family drama/comedy.

Please sort by lowest ratings first... that's the real deal
Added 4/25/2007
I must have read only the latest reviews which gave this movie high ratings is the only explanation I can think of as to why I rented it. I agree with all the low raters. Please do not waste your time as I did mine. Thankfully, I had enough sense to stop watching it halfway through and so didn't waste my whole evening but even still I felt I had been robbed. Pure junk. Nothing whatsoever redeeming. I usually like Meg Ryan and Diane Keaton but I just found myself feeling totally irritated with both of their performances.

going thru the experience
Added 4/15/2007
this really hit the spot with all true emotions. i went thru this with my mom and the emotional and physical caretaking can be so overwhelming and depressing and yet so rewarding. this should be seen in the begiining of a caregtaking task for everyone. the ups and downs and reponsiblity of the whole thing. i could relate to the whole challenge and the whole movie. now i am going thru it with my dad for his loss etc.
