Hanging Up
Every Family Has A Few Hang-Ups.
When Eve (Meg Ryan) isn't being pulled in a million directions by her own life, she's being sucked into lengthy phone conversations with her cranky father (Walter Matthau) or her two sisters, successful magazine entrepreneur Georgia (Diane Keaton) and career-challenged Maddy (Lisa Kudrow). As the family becomes and more dependent on Eve, transforming her into the human switchboard that connects them all together, Eve discovers that the ties that bind can also be the ties that gag! Her revelation doesn't sit well with her sisters, though, forcing Eve to realize that sometimes to be heard, you just have to, well, hang up!

This movie had some good moments, but it wasnt that great. Meg ryan is just plain annoying and lisa kudrow couldnt findherslef as an acctress. Diane Keeton played, simply said diane keeton. Not a bad movie about the dynamics of family life, but fun to watch when boredA nice movie.... - Cricri7
Not every movie that gets made ends up a blockbuster and this is one of them. On paper, everyone must have thought that this movie would be huge. It had all the elements to be: excellent actors and a top notch writing team. The end result was fun but not blockbuster material. I think that an experienced director would have made a better job than Diane Keaton. Meg Ryan and Lisa Kudrow need more guidance that Walter Mattau and it shows in the end result. A more experienced director would have guided them more.
It still is a nice little movie about a dysfunctional family that has to take care of an aging and difficult father. We can all relate to family situations like those. I enjoyed it.
