The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
没想到是家庭喜剧……以为真的是讨论养老问题的我还是太天真🥲一地鸡毛的中年失业生活，这么欢乐也就是电影拍拍了……
没头感觉到温馨，也没有被笑到。没有钱，也从来没想过攒钱，就这么解决了问题。
简介能不能别瞎写？400万明明是一开始支付公公葬礼的好嘛，另外哪里借用女儿结婚的钱了？？？
中间那段我与婆婆的诈骗段子真的好好笑😂😂😂
结局鸡汤、避重就轻什么的都是标配了。虽然蜻蜓点水，但问题还是都点到了——论东亚人的家族之苦。题材挺有趣的。所以终极解决方式不就是万代屋嘛……不生病的话确实是最优解
中年双双失业，又遇各种需要花钱的事，仅有的一些存款快要告罄，剧中主角夫妇瞬间经历人生中最令人恐惧的时期。电影以相当夸张的喜剧形式，表现了日本社会对于养老的恐慌。不过，影片的结尾，以共享式的公社生活，作为一种理想化的解决方式，只能说太过乌托邦也太幼稚了。
这部电影大概会戳中现在很多人的软肋吧，养老不止是电影里人的难题，更是社会以及所有人的。
天海佑希演中年 家庭女性没啥说服力，看到五郎就会自动脑补洗锅以的画面~~~虽然形式挺轻松的，但是越看越闹心，没有一个顺心的，人到中年真的是很多时候有够无奈的，鸡毛蒜皮一地鸡毛，只能硬着头皮顶着上
前半段的喜剧感拉满，最后又转向政治式的缓解焦虑工具，成为了四不像的宣传片。
这种养老金现实题材的电影，就算偏欢乐温情向的，看的也有点气人，女主丈夫的行为好真实，坏人妻子当，丈夫还要逞强负责一些费用，不肯告诉妹妹自己失业。笑点没有想象中那么多，不过还是不错的电影
好看得嘞!这么有个性的人物设置，如此现实主义又阳光温情的作品实在是很好!其实现实中合租屋应该也是会有各种各样的问题的，人与人之间其实没那么好相处。但是编剧已经尽力了，传达出来的气质很温柔向善
日式浪漫，糖里裹着玻璃碴。最后的结局太圆满了看着很假，但是似乎也只能这样，连点希望都没有的话，就太痛苦了。
松重丰演的好像个傻瓜哈哈，别说天海佑希，我都想打他了蠢货。不过剧情充满可爱和温暖，人应该任性一点，感觉就是鼓励看电影的人卖房养老，是不是有什么阴谋哈哈。
“人生百年，只要活着，就得花钱。”“牡丹饼吃不下三个。”“人生百味，挑贵的体会。”
有些点还是很幽默的，比如说像你就进不了宝冢。年近60还要再出发真的不是另一个版本的从头再来吗？太难为人了，不犯众怒嘛。
盼盼今天的反复叮嘱，是我好像已经淡忘了很久的职场对于女性的残酷，35岁前一定要安顿好自己。是这样吗？是这样吧？该怎么做呢？又是这样的循环，逃不掉的吧？嗯？嗯？
所以五郎叔不成家，成了孤独的美食家；天海佑希成功进入宝冢，还是男装当家
找一队明星拉大旗，但这个掩耳盗铃的结局只会让人更焦虑吧？
所以五郎叔不成家，成了孤独的美食家；天海佑希成功进入宝冢，还是男装当家
无限夸大了一个个花钱大事件的喜剧效果，呵呵一笑之余也就没有了其他。现实中随便一个落入脆弱的中产阶级身上恐怕都是一座难以逾越的大山，那时还能笑着选择中年夫妻合租生活的恐怕不是乐观通达而是脑子不好。
