I just saw a very good, somewhat sad and funny movie. Not sure if you guys have heard of it, it's called 'Hanging Up'. Pretty good, if I do say so myself. The entire time it was on, I was glued to TV; sadly, few hollywood movies actually do that these days, don't you think?
Anyway, here's the description:
Diane Keaton directed and starred in this comedy/drama about a family brought together by potential tragedy. In her mid-40s, Eve (Meg Ryan) minds her house, runs a business organizing parties and events for others, and looks after her father (Walter Matthau), an alcoholic former writer who has grown argumentative and increasingly difficult to handle. Eve's sisters Georgia (Keaton), who is a few years older and the editor of a successful fashion magazine, and Maddy (Lisa Kudrow), a few years younger and a working actress with a spot on a soap opera have also had to deal with Dad, but only by long distance when he makes one of his frequent telephone calls. Dad now doesn't have long to live, and the siblings must pull together and make peace with their father and each other.
