Consensus: Though the screenplay and the novel it's based on were both written by the same person, critics say Hanging Up is an unsuccessful adaptation. The acting is praised as solid, but is ultimately unable to save the film.
Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins
Genre: Comedies
Synopsis: Daddy's favorite daughter is over-extended in this Diane Keaton-directed comedy about loving, laughing, and learning to let go. Meg Ryan plays party-planner Eve, a streched-too-thin mother, wife,... [More]
Starring: Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton, Lisa Kudrow, Walter Matthau
Director: Diane Keaton
Three of Hollywood's most beautiful and talented actresses, Ryan, Keaton, and Kudrow, are totally wasted in this shamelessly sappy meller that bears the schmaltzy sensibility of Nora Ephorn, its inept producer and co-scripter even though Keaton is helmer

Top CriticLike people who compulsively giggle whenever they tell you bad news, the movie runs for cover in lame, comic shtick.
Top CriticShrill and unsettling.
Top CriticTen minutes into it, you're making low moans. Fifteen minutes into it, you have plucked out all of your hair. Gone! You're bald, you're unhappy, and the movie's only just begun.
Top CriticA decent, often entertaining yet ultimately disappointing film.
Top CriticMeg Ryan, Lisa Kudrow, and Keaton ... each is naturally funny and has superb timing.
Top CriticIt's hair that matters most here, and it's hair that rises above everything.

Top CriticToo scattered and insubstantial to be as funny and moving as it could have been.
Top CriticA depressing, trite and mawkishly Hollywood story about the death of a creepy old man and its effect on his spoiled grown-up daughters.
Top CriticHanging Up has all the ingredients of a success -- a stellar cast, a promising premise, a strong production team -- but nothing comes together in satisfying fashion.
Top CriticA smug, self-serving, charmless exercise in niche-marketed sentiment.
Top CriticThis movie is witty, spry, even touching.
Top CriticToo phony to be anything truly heartfelt.
Top CriticThe only possible excuse for the new film Hanging Up has to be that it looked great in a deal memo.
