Hanging Up

Hanging Up is a 2000 American comedy drama film about a trio of sisters bonding over their curmudgeon father, with whom none are close.

All three sisters are still wounded by their parents' divorce after many years of acrimony, a split that resulted in their mother Pat essentially abandoning them all.

Lou has a history of alcoholism and womanizing, and, despite a hurtful incident years earlier, Eve takes charge of her father's care.

Flashbacks show Eve, Maddy and Georgia visiting Lou one Christmas after he attempted suicide after Pat left him.

Overwhelmed with caring for her father, her siblings and an especially demanding client, Eve disconnects all the phones in her house on the advice of Omar's mother Ogmed after they talk to discuss what to do about the car crash.

Georgia and Maddy begin to playfully throw flour at each other, and Eve takes a moment to enjoy being together with her sisters before joining the fun.

"[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 33 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.
