Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.

原版ghostbusters之一Egon Spengler的孙辈开始出来捉鬼了，不仅主角低龄化，从原来四人团均是男性三白一黑，到如今二男二女两白人一黑一亚裔，这很美国2021。
场面调度不错，阿金斯演得也很卖力，小成本场景局限但瑕不掩瑜。
基本上可以作为一部儿童片，充满了对之前作品的致敬，以及现在好莱坞充满的ZZ正确。
03.12.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | 并不是部完美的电影，但是这是部完美的Ghostbusters的续集。请收下我所有的尖叫和眼泪！可惜我儿Finn真是以肉眼可见的速度在长残。
好莱坞擅长一个IP炒冷饭，多冷、多久也能拿来翻来覆去炒了，能不能炒热，还是炒糊，反正炒了再说。这种套路看多了，实在是激不起兴趣，何况翻炒的手段也就那几手，比如增强特效，死的活了，老的有子孙等等，好点说是有情怀，往不好里说就是拿老套子继续圈钱。
就一镜到底吧，我觉得也就还行，算不上很好，但也不是很糟糕。
女儿漂亮又聪明。剧情无聊。但是女演员真的，彩蛋1，喜欢的她。也就看看女儿和场景道具，配乐可以，最后那段电流搞的跟HP扶弟魔对决一样。给现代小学生们放鬼娃电影。现代鬼佬们的小镇小孩都开始玩播客了
finn and mckenna are such pretty creatures
看完觉得抓鬼也太容易了吧，仪器在手，万事大吉。
一击 One Shot (2021) 美国
第一二幕都稍显无趣，如果不是对这一IP有情怀，可能没法找到什么代入感。
19/11/2021 @ K11 Art House IMAX。我就是想看這種情懷啊！
除了老人出来的几分钟以及片尾响起的主题曲，这片子跟ghostbusters有什么关系？骗我情怀是吧？
剧情只能说，致敬为主，其它的都是不重要的，毕竟，连故事都没有脉络清楚，于是情怀加持，成了最主要的。
老版导演亲生儿子亲自下场继承（而且他当年还在过片场）客串过角色，经典角色全部下场站台，这是一部拿情怀就会值回票价的电影。但是要是没那个情怀，这部电影真的趣味不足。这样的阵容味儿还能不正吗？好像现在的人都没有人想要以前的味儿似的。前半段边缘人不被爱的人破产了的人的那种丧感是挺好玩的，后面的打怪有点过于写实没有了之前那种调侃的味道。显然这是一部缅怀Egon的片子，调调也偏向科学家的勇敢和坚毅，也有可能也含有导演对那个工作太忙了的父亲的怀念。but你插科打诨的太少啦主题略沉重了离开纽约吐槽大城市也少啦这比尔默瑞摸鱼得有点明显啦真的不好看啊。
颇有《怪奇物语》认真讲故事的态度，被各种致敬元素以及老演员集体出镜感动到了。怀念战友Harold ramis。80年代的巨型棉花糖，到这里居然变成了迷你棉花糖战士…
天才少女，蚁人，怪奇物语少年。情怀满满，复古怀旧，系列粉丝看到了满满的诚意
7分。情怀致敬之作，比所谓的性转重启版还是要好一些。尽管主角是孩子，但电影刻意去致敬老传统，各种80年代风的玩意儿玩的飞起，最后老一辈出场还是挺令人感动的~~~
