Instead, she accidentally conjures the spirit of her former lover, a dashing but penniless pastry chef from 1890s Vienna. The two begin a whirlwind romance, but soon find their relationship threatened by the realities of Lucy's modern life and the meddling of her pragmatic sister.

Hello Again received a mixed to negative reception from critics, with many finding its premise intriguing but its execution lacking.

• Praised for its whimsical premise but criticized for a lack of comedic payoff.
• Shelley Long's performance was noted, but the romantic storyline felt unconvincing.
• The blend of fantasy and romantic comedy did not coalesce effectively for most reviewers.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available suggest a general disappointment with the film's execution of a potentially interesting concept.
