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.
亲测:1.徐帆演技没有特别夸张，还好，值得一看2.女儿的线让我很气愤，真的想冲进荧幕打郑毅3.李文舫的线也让人很气愤，明明最开始对老婆很忽略，得病了就一直说老婆不要死不要死啊。4.徐帆让我很有代入感，我讲话也是这样的，像幼儿园老师。
故事有些平，其实导演私人的情感表露少了。也就是，我的存在，对妈妈的讲述力度不够。
虽然演员都还不错，但实在不想看到歌颂为别人奉献自己的一生转过头来被问值不值得的时候还要说这是我自己的选择。选择你爹啊选择，有得选吗？更想看到自驾游到处跑的那种妈妈和阿姨，想做就去做，别操心别人了。
世上就只有一个人让你任意撒娇也不会讨厌你只会更爱你—妈妈
破大防……边看边哭。知道它的目的就是让你流泪但还是忍不住。只能说作为亲情催泪电影，它成功了。电影整体平平淡淡，剧情其实没什么新意叙事也中规中矩，却赢在真情实感的流露上。很喜欢首尾呼应的白色气球。想妈妈了，我的妈妈也默默为家付出了很多牺牲了很多，想回家。愿妈妈一直平平安安，身体健康。
就他爹的无语，季佩珍你图啥啊，扶弟狂魔，扶了几十年，照顾阿尔兹海默症的婆婆，女儿也不省心，丈夫跟没有一样…泪点在最后小美看语音
是个不错的广告导演，镜头利索，但只会拍情节，不会拍人物，更遑论故事。妈妈是每个人的哭点，哪怕是这些不那么连贯的碎片，差不多从妈妈去车站接女儿我就开始痛哭，我妈基本被照搬了70%，好多情节我都经历过😭。不管是妈妈还是爸爸，不管多久没见，多久没说过贴心话，家人之间的向心力是永恒的。😭导演再多读点书，再多些文学性和深意，就是《女人，五十》了，
这妈妈脸上带着光芒，照亮了他人。坚强乐观地像个完人。
剧情老套的令人窒息，演出做作的令人不适，煽情煽的突如其来莫名其妙。
如果抛开生老病死，为什么我们一定要与中国式亲情绑架强行和解？
剧情如此老气横秋+顺拐也就罢了，母女的人设也都不讨喜，还不如刘玫出彩。。。
五分。“已偏航，请重新规划路线”。人生也是这样，有很多岔路口，我觉得导演目前就不适合拍电影这条路，可以尝试重新规划人生路线。
剧情无新意，开头就猜到结尾，倒是，还是感动感同身受。。。
想到我的爸爸，偶尔在家也当着甩手掌柜，在外面努力赚钱的医生爸爸，有点固执但是又有点浪漫的我爸爸。和许亚军老师一样帅气又会唱歌跳舞的爸爸。爸爸妈妈能不能永远年轻，我能不能永远做你们的小孩。我已经长得太大了，再缩小好不好，再做睡在爸爸妈妈中间的小孩好不好。ps.徐帆说话好别扭…
1.故事情节有点老套，属于看了开头就大概能猜到故事走向和结果的（尽管事先已知这是一部基于真实故事改编的电影）。2.老戏骨许亚军的表演最稳，徐帆其次。
女儿+绝症+扶弟+阿尔兹海默症，所有能催泪的题材都集齐了，被拖累的季佩珍的一生。
在徐帆前40分钟高昂娇嗔和低沉严肃音调切换中，耗尽了我这对这部片的所有忍耐力，以至于后面它再怎么煽情，我都无法配合落泪，一滴都没有。
有感触，但还是觉得这个妈妈太亏了，她选择为家人过一辈子，最后和女儿说，你不一样，妈妈希望你过自己想要的生活。对工作了的女儿还有那么强的控制欲，太让人窒息了。徐帆的演技好生硬。
可别再歌颂母亲的伟大了，身而为女性看着着实累。
每次到感动的点，都会被导演接下来的情节设置冲破，比如爸爸和老友在饭馆倾诉，突然女儿跑进来狰狞大哭，我妈妈是不是要死了？还有母女在桥洞争执，女儿瘫坐在地上很伤心。母亲突然高亢来了一句，站起来！我仿佛看到了赤壁里小乔让萌萌站起来的画面，过分诡异了。
