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.
可看性还是挺强的，是那种轻喜剧的讽刺手法。整个故事很连贯，从头到尾，所有事情都串联在了一起，一个看似其乐融融的天秤厂其实在老板的龌龊手段下补了一个又一个窟窿。哪有老板和员工如父如友的企业，只有利益相互纠葛取得双赢的企业。被电焊戴耳机涨了知识，我见过的厂子再吵也没有给人戴降噪耳机的。
虽然我无比讨厌开心麻花，但相比韩寒的恶心程度，这部电影至少让我开心一些～#大过年的，就不要添堵了
讽刺资本家是一件事，电影好不好看是另一件事
别跟原版比也还好，想那么多干嘛，怪费脑子的。。。
《李茂扮太子》与《这个杀手不太冷静》，马丽、其他开心麻花系演员与谐音梗片名是相同的，控制了变量，或许开心麻花出品确实是更好一些的。
。表面清清白白良好模范企业家，高贵邀请函随手送人。你把我当兄弟，我当成你女婿。
三谷幸喜的原作有些硬伤，但情感核心是很真挚的，主题是对电影事业的热爱，而表演只是其中的一部分。《杀手》后半段基本把这个主题颠覆掉了，角色被接管，“拍摄”中断，最终落点在小人物历险记，情节逻辑其实更偏向《喜剧之王》，追求的是个人成功。所以哪怕特别明显地加了《教父》《雨中曲》《赌神》的迷影梗，片名也化用了另一部著名电影，电影都只是他们用以自我实现的工具。当然不能说这样的改编不可取，只是同样没能让这个荒诞设定切实可信地落了地。也不怎么能笑得出来，开心麻花真是从未令我失望。
编剧很卖力地抖露各种迷影梗，魏翔很卖命地秀“演技”，玛丽很卖弄风情地扮性感，全都透着一股心虚，唯恐别人说自己“不行”。可惜，不行就是不行，你就算把三谷幸喜绑架到片场来也还是不行。
任命女性主管、阿拉伯裔主管，甩锅假面表演，讽刺值拉满了
I'm good at what I do, I do my job well. You pay me, end of story.
这招其实不新奇。应该说，很难得开心麻花在用脑子而非段子搞笑。舞台式布景打光做得不错。而既然他们演的就是烂演员，夸张就不足挂齿了。
不喜欢。《魔幻时刻》我看得很认真 以至于这里要发生事我大概能知道 可能就是这个原因导致我全程都没笑吧。魏翔演得是好 知道真相后捧着箱子哭那一段演得是真好 但前面当卡尔时又浮夸得让人出戏 特别是去当意大利翻译时车里那段。对标绫濑遥的居然是马丽有多失望我就不说了 马丽在这里演得也不真是真失望。倒是场景特效还行 结合这个原版栽树让后者能乘凉的好剧本 勉强给个两星 不能再多了。
没有什么会完全是我们预想的那样 我们不是我们 我们是变化的 这取决于我们面对的是谁
不像《魔幻时刻》那样聚焦于对电影的热爱，但比原版笑点更密集，和剧情结合紧密，在春节档尤为讨喜。其实并不比麻花其他烂片强太多，只是有了一个好剧版保障了下限。
原版《魔幻时刻》剧本非常扎实，只要不乱改就不会差。整体及格线以上，没有屎尿屁等低俗笑点。本片做了很多改编，时长缩短，简化故事，节奏更加紧凑，删减了几个角色，把原版的两个帮派相争也改成了内部争斗。前半部分几处笑点还是照搬的原作，最出彩的就是舔刀子的段落。而后半段的改编和原创的结尾明显不如原作优秀，毕竟三谷幸喜是日本顶级的喜剧大师。笑点不少，但电影感明显不如原作。马丽这个选角十足的败笔，颜值hold不住这个风情万种的万人迷角色，换成万茜不错。片中令我最喜欢最惊喜的就是迷影元素。车牌23333来自猫扑的捶地大笑表情。两个商会英文名合起来就是《魔幻时刻》，还有致敬《教父》《雨中曲》《天堂电影院》，海报致敬《黄金三镖客》《历劫佳人》《疤面煞星》，还有《夏洛特烦恼》里的茴香打卤面。优缺点明显，6分。
挺真实的，主角演的太好了。一切都为了生意，不要看他嘴上说了什么，要看他究竟做了什么
哈维尔巴登yyds，和骚潘去年都奉献出了职业生涯又一个高峰，如果戈雅奖的最佳女主是骚潘就好了
哈哈哈哈…好老板的秘诀就是公司表面的平衡被打破后想尽办法摆平所有问题，这电影应该叫老板的烦恼…
資本主義向社會主義傾斜的天秤，註定能醫不自醫；白朗科就是歐洲小國政府，事無巨細都把好人卡貼在臉上，換來的是越趨平衡越難管的擰巴社會，在信以為好人有好報的因果論中養出一群無賴⋯
男主所经营的天平仪器厂是本片最讽刺的一个设定，工厂上下的所有员工都以努力，平衡，忠诚为工作理念，巧舌如簧般的赋予了这个职业责任感。《好老板》是一部极具讽刺意味的影片，男主的扮演者将其身上唯利是图、衣冠禽兽的本质演绎得活灵活现。但是个人感觉这部影片没怎么有吸引人的地方，平淡无奇，没有想要看下去的欲望。
