Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
后面戴墨镜那里贤二还挺帅的，结果立马破功😂整部剧都荡漾着淡淡的温情，伴随着年华逝去，贤二和史郎之间的一桩桩小事，一顿简单的料理更让人觉得平凡又弥足珍贵。史郎妈妈说的那句“你要最珍惜你的家人”以及贤二妈妈发出“那他能一直陪你吗”的疑问，都让这部片得到了更好的升华和解答。看完之后好想立马做那个焦糖苹果然后铺在烤面包上！！“我想向这里的所有人炫耀你的好！”
甜哭了，爆炸级别的含糖量并不会让我不适，来吧全世界的美好一起涌来。一段关系里顾及对方家庭，更考虑自己需要，为对方吃醋担忧想一直陪伴的心情，浪漫而不脱现实。共度生日时一起戴对戒，想向全世界介绍对方的心情，樱花树下执住的手，都太美了！
希望你和你爱的那个人能有如此平淡而生机的生活。
有些爱情不轰动也不缠绵，多了陪伴和习惯，客气有距离，和常见的戏剧性的普通恋爱不一样，但是不一样不代表不存在或者不是爱。年轻的时候热烈的爱过，被辜负被伤害，如果有一天真的有个人能陪伴到老，他们这样的爱情是我能想到最美好的样子了。
依然克制，叔总算学会了表达爱意。kenji太可爱了我哭
Sandra Bullock演技依旧扎实，值得一座奖杯。对于前科犯的理解，人们可以对罪与罚的理解达成一致，却很难对人性做到充分的体谅。犯罪行恶固然是不正确的，但是他人的人生还真不是旁人一两句话就能定论的，我们至少要努力不让自己成为别人或让别人成为自己恶的来源。
真好真温暖真治愈啊🥺🥺🥺
一万次被西岛秀俊笑出一脸褶子的脸迷死！一百次想把家里装成同款厨房和客厅。这一次，有认真的回看菜谱。

这更像是综艺而不是电影.............脑回路很黑人问号，西岛叔很帅，大叔很努力，但场景并不是很美，看出来成本并不高
喜歡，日劇裡的每個角色都有出現，真好，也希望每隔幾年能有新電影看到這些角色，尤其是賢二跟史朗的近況。
七顿饭，把面对面一起吃饭的人，变成肩并肩地感叹“真美啊”的人。老成这样真不错啊！
搞笑又温情。剧本是有在好好写的，探讨的主题也比剧里深刻不少，史朗和贤二亲密互动也变多，终于「室友」变情侣了。
3/5 剧情真的太拖沓罗嗦了，新加入的小鲜肉演技尴尬到爆炸。想看美食做法结果就四个，不过瘾。
开头差点就拍成剧集流水账，好在后期捕捉回来那种温情
PS 最近很吃这种亲情片。年纪大了的原因么?
这是什么理想主义现代童话爱情模板？所有人都太温柔了，能做到设身处地为他人着想，能温柔地拒绝，温柔地爱人。温柔不是自私地和稀泥，两位主演很好地诠释了我以为的“温柔”。（希望能一直拍下去，跟剧一样好看，给人小小而又坚定的力量与希望）
完全是drive my car后时代追着西岛秀俊刷的餐间剧。男男主题似乎在亚洲文艺圈已经过时，虽然一餐一饭拍的那么厨房、爱风格，架不住跳出火爆聚集拼凑式的剧场版。评论都在说西岛刷爆国际频道还能回来演琐碎日常剧，非常不可思议。我觉得很好呢！
还行吧。。不过还是太商业片了，感觉拍摄手法我一整个不能接受。
就是开头kenji陷入迷思后绊倒在竹林上演歌舞伎剧目的时候我差点笑背过气去
