hanging up

I was wondering if anyone has seen "hanging up" yet? I saw it today, and I actually liked it compared to most of the reviewers. I didn't think Lisa Kudrow added a lot to the movie, but it was a little bit of a depart from phoebe.

I havent seen that one yet. The next movie on my list is The Whole Nine Yards. Almost saw it last night..but instead I was dragged from the movie theater and forced to see another movie. I saw Angelas Ashes..very depressing movie. ~Act

Angelas Ashes, very depressing, but not as depressing as the book! For starters, the movie starts on like page 150...but then again, movies are never a very good depiction of a book. Good either way though, Frank McCourt's life must have been quite a horrible experience. I really like this comment he made about it though: "Looking back on it all I see what could have been. But am grateful for all that it was." I'm looking forward to having some free time to read 'Tis. I hear he's nominated for grammy though, that's odd.

In his head, sure. It's 50% blarney though, his brother Malachy keeps insisting Frank is painting the blackest picture imaginable and it "wasn't really like that". Artistic/dramatic license, I guess.

'Tis is not so gripping. It's ok...

(Read Seamus Deaney's "Reading In The Dark" if you want a different perspective).

No matter what the circumstances, losing several siblings can't be good. I'm sure there's exageration though.

I wasn't too concerned with the movie centering around Meg Ryan's character, I think she's cool. I did think Lisa was great though, not as departed from Phoebe as she's been in The Opposite of Sex, but definetely great. And it was amusing seeing her in all those different outfits during the flashbacks!

I went last night with my best friend and her sister. I thought the movie was fantastic. But I do love most Meg Ryan movies, and Diane Keaton was pretty good at portraying that type of person. Lisa Kudrow was perfect for her role. She was intelligent but immature when need be. I also loved the flasbacks when they dressed her in 80s clothing. Brings back the memories of the funny fashions...:) JRP
