Accident-prone Long Island housewife Shelley Long (as Lucy) chokes to death on a South Korean chicken-ball, then comes back to life after a spell cast by her kooky sister Judith Ivey (as Zelda). To avoid being sent back to her grave, Ms. Long must find true love with either her doctor Gabriel Byrne (as Kevin Scanlon) or widowed husband Corbin Bernsen (as Jason Chadman). "Hello Again" appears to be an update of "My Favorite Wife (1940) and "Move Over, Darling" (1963). For added fun, Long's "Lucy" is given some physical comedy which recalls the famous comedienne. Lucille Ball lost her dress in "Yours, Mine and Ours" (1968) and had several eating mishaps like those herein, but she wasn't clumsy. Long and director Frank Perry can't quite get the staging and situation to make for maximum laughter.
