Hanging Up (2000) - Father's Day Special

A heart-touching movie about Father Daughter relationship that emotionally overwhelms you in the climax when father (Walter Matthau) dies and Meg Ryan later on is shown lost in flashbacks of her days of childhood,warm memories of her life with two sisters Diane Keaton and Lisa Kudrow and her Father.

Movie focuses mainly on Meg Ryan looking after her eccentric boisterous father whose wife left him few decades ago.Sisters are shown visiting their old house and discovering their father in bed with Edie McClurg.Walter Matthau later on invades Meg Ryan's home on her son's Birthday,calling his friends midgets and ruing his Birthday party,leaving his grand-son in tears and departing on bitter terms with Meg Ryan.

Lisa Kudrow plays the youngest sisters and delivers her best.Diane Keaton plays the eldest sister and directs this movie.Its a lovely watch on any day or especially on Father's Day. This was Walter Matthau's last movie he died on July 1,2000.
