DVD Synopsis

Writer Susan Isaacs and director Frank Perry of Compromising Positions re-team for this unsuccessful resurrection fantasy comedy. Shelley Long plays Lucy Chadman, the accident-prone wife of plastic surgeon Jason Chadman (Corbin Bernsen). When she chokes to death after eating a South Korean chicken ball, a funeral is held and she is mourned, but then everyone goes on with their lives and forgets about her. Everyone, that is, except her sister Zelda (Judith Ivey). Zelda runs an occult bookstore and as she peruses one of her books of incantations, she discovers a magical chant that can raise the dead. Obeying the rules of the incantation -- it has to be performed a year after the person dies and the resurrected person must find love within 30 days or the person will die again -- she brings back Lucy to life. Lucy immediately proceeds to her husband's home and finds that he is married to her best friend Kim (Sela Ward). She now has to deal with the changed circumstances of her husband, along with a burgeoning love affair with Kevin Scanlon (Gabriel Byrne), the emergency-room doctor who had tried to save her life. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

The 1987 fantasy comedy Hello Again stars Shelley Long as a woman who chokes to death but is resurrected by her witchcraft-savvy sister. However, there's one catch to the second coming: If she doesn't find love within 30 days, she'll end up dead again. Also starring Gabriel Byrne and Corbin Bernsen, Hello Again is featured on this DVD in widescreen. The soundtrack comes in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo and optional closed captions are also included. The disc is rounded out by the original theatrical trailer. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
