Hanging Up

Running Time: 94 minutes
Rated: PG-13

The breakdown:  Three sisters try to bond after their father gets put into the hospital.

I tried to watch this movie, I really did.  I knew that the actresses in it I didn't like, and I knew the storyline sounded boring.  I knew it got terrible reviews and usually, I can stick with a movie, no matter how bad to later make fun of it.  But this one was so bad, I fast forwarded through 7/8th's of it and still felt like I wasted too much time.
Basically, these three sisters live far enough apart where they are constantly on the phone with each other and bickering.  They seem to not like each other and only start to rebond after their dad gets put into the hospital, where it seems, he will die soon.
They reconnect, he dies, the end.
Bland, bland, and annoying.  I got through the first 10 minutes where it showed just people talking on the phone, and they lost my interest.  I didn't care about anything in the film.  Skip this absolutely.
0 out of 5 for utter boringness.
