New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
婆婆假扮笃子朋友爸爸那儿笑抽了，三姑演那个到家里调查的政府职员，也太搞了哈哈哈哈哈 一个窘迫的实际问题被拍成了啼笑皆非喜剧 再合适不过了。
没想到一部看似沉重题材的片子拍得那么轻松，笑点十足，特别是调侃天海祐希进不了宝冢那段还有冒充别人父亲那段，也没想到看似轻松当中却反映了很多现实问题，影片的结尾也为解决养老问题提出了一种可能性。天海祐希演技太可了。
前半段紧张，后半段轻松愉快，还不错。一些细节能看出日本虽然萧条了还是比我们发达
那晚下班回来躺在沙发，打开电视慢慢享受，海哥演的很好，剧本比较简单，每次选题都是贴近社会的，有意义
挺轻松好笑的，如果中年生活真的这么好解决就好了
表面是反应现实剧，实际用超清新治愈的叙述讲离谱故事……
没有养老的资金，养老需要准备上佰万，不然你将只能过低配戚苦的晚年世界，当下的你，准备好了吗？
这也没有借鉴的余地呀，就咱这医疗和养老状况。日本至少医疗和工作平等性方面还有得权衡。
可惜最后更像个生前葬和合租屋的大型cm，女王本人怕不是心里对这种操作嗤之以鼻
整体很轻松诙谐，疫情居家第二日看的。合家欢去焦虑化的开导喜剧。推荐！很温暖，特效也做得不错！
刚开始看没多久就诧异：天海佑希跟松重丰都能演一对了吗？！结果一查年龄，好吧，两人也就差4岁而已……但是女王这哪里像是50过半的人啊！而且即便是演这种家庭主妇的角色，也是信手拈来，太棒了。回到电影，其实还挺好玩的，全程也基本都在咯咯傻笑，但多少也对一些情节稍有不满。比如为啥只有女主人才着急啊，连个包都不舍得给自己买，男主人还有孩子们至少前半程完全没有要让人省心的样子。实在是太窒息了，这种生活焦虑以及对女性的束缚大概只有东亚人才能懂吧！编导可能自己也解决不了，所以最终还是把焦点转移到了所谓“婆媳关系”以及“分享租房”这样的社会议题上，倒也不是不行，但毕竟那个压力还是在的啊，太美化了现实了吧。看完除了更恐婚恐育，好像也没有别的办法。
很轻松治愈的电影，松重丰这角色也好呆萌搞笑啊哈哈哈！
全部换算成人民币后感觉他们这养老还行啊，不怎么贵。
菲薄储备频告急，中岁失业愁难眠。
看完觉得自己要好好存钱了。share house模式并不让人感冒
看天海佑希为了钱而发愁还是第一回，把葬礼和家庭纠纷以一种轻松诙谐的方式呈现，还是能从中得到一些启示。
1022.06.03 是个温馨的理想化的小喜剧
有点点好笑但看完又挺失望的，最后轻轻松松的happy ending有点太理想化了。有没有一个严肃的电影来讨论这个社会问题呢？
养老焦虑被拍的好笑又心酸，看来自己的晚年生活也要走这种合租房了。
感觉前面铺垫了那么多，都是为了最后那几分钟的合租生活公益广告。
