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.
一个ABC一家三代其乐融融的搞笑片竟然被定为R级，下三路真没必要。
不知道为什么评分会这么高，明明各方面都很一般，演员都像是横店的群演，服装道具场景乱得一塌糊涂，剧情也是想一出是一出，一开始好像是要拯救世界，到最后竟然是最老套的亲子和解……不是以为扯上多元宇宙就一定会火吧？各种梗尬得不行，片子时间还扯得那么长，真是快坚持不下去了。60岁高龄的杨奶奶苦苦支撑，看着真累……
在那些眼花缭乱、恶趣味、飞来舞去的里面，其实还是那个亚裔家庭的美国故事，我甚至觉得它跟青春变形记如出一辙。
见自己、见天地、见众生。诸行无常、诸法无我、万象归宗、唯此常在。观照得成，吾心光明。
就这 就这 就这 就这 就这 就这
哎……你说骂也不是夸也不是，本来是挺好的创意和想法，相信在电影院加上3Dmax视觉效果应该也是很不错的。但是回归剧本，回归电影本质来讲，真的，啥也不是。原本优秀的创意和想法都被那些低俗自作聪明的小情节毁的是体无完肤，开场节奏就没有掌控好，世界观的构建完全没有成型导致从一开始就无法被带入以及与人物共情，这么讲并不是说给高分的各位没道理，只是真的不是我的口味，另外也是真的觉得惋惜。愿以后不再被高口碑欺骗……
大概猜到了是大饼夹一切，可没想到是移民视角的八九十年代港片夹了个索拉里斯
等不到下辈子了，可能某个宇宙里的我正在当微生物，和大自然安静的共存。
和《瑞士军刀人》一样的幽默感，不太get到，个人觉得很低俗。设定也没觉得多有创意，太沃卓斯基了。大部分中文台词很西化，可是《花样年华》那段台词又出奇的好，很诗意，不像是同一个编剧写的。
2022年至今最佳院线观影体验。在技法上依托了平行宇宙这个题材的壳，电影在剪辑和摄影上都可以保证足够的趣味性，尤其是多个时空下通过画幅、景别、滤镜甚至学港式老电影抽帧的手法来体现各时空的差异性，中段更是糅杂了各种类型电影元素，话说关继威某几个角度也太像成龙的吧，耍起腰包的那个功夫喜剧劲就既视感更强了。但真正让本片获得如此高的评价的地方还得是其文本上剧本编排的精妙，这部作品中通过一个让人啼笑皆非的平行宇宙故事让主角完成了与父辈、爱人、子女以及自己的和解，其中最动人的场面莫过于关继威扮演的丈夫在维护失心疯的妻子时，默默地扫去地上的玻璃残渣并轻声哼唱《恭喜恭喜》，相信所有中文文化圈的观众都能真切的感受到那个瞬间丈夫展现出的隐忍、包容和善良。
"Asian lesbian will destroy the world if she is not getting along with her mom"
渺小而愚蠢的人类衍生出的情感千丝万缕。宇宙之大，人如蜉蝣，而其爱却能有超出身体数万倍的能量。爱是管束，爱是给予，爱是谨慎，爱是狭隘，爱是自由，爱是宏伟。最喜两块石头在荒无人烟之境或是史前生命形式未定的空间里的那段字幕对话。宇宙这么大，我们要探讨的问题有很多，世界这么大，我们的人生有无数种可能。或许彼时一个不起眼的决定便走向了人生另一条道路。在平行宇宙中纠正曾经耿耿于怀的后悔事，在此时此刻，试着去接纳、去理解、去释怀、去成长、去弥补、去感恩。
剧情走向能够预估一半，嗑high程度完全超出预期。粤语区东亚女观众共情直接拉满。看到影评分化出三种类型，可以看出三种小孩：幸福家庭小孩，大家长控制欲弱于影片理想化描述的小孩，以及受到多倍摧残的小孩，还真的是笑不出来…PS：贝果真的让我联想了无数次库尔贝的《世界的起源》…
不是很满意，主要是主题太浅薄，所以感觉是高高抬起轻轻放下，看个热闹吧。
我泪点很高，最后都还是绷不住了。
创意是有的，服化摄影也很棒，勉强给个四星。讯息量很大的一部电影，多重宇宙设定外加超感猎杀的混合。每个宇宙都想要说些什么，但是说教意味实在太重太白太满喷洒而出，没有超感猎杀安排得一切刚刚好，不多也不少的精彩。我就一直听他们看他们几个最后不断表演打脸、打脸，再打脸。
等不到下辈子了，可能某个宇宙里的我正在当微生物，和大自然安静的共存。
2022年到现在为止最喜欢的一部电影，所有的奇思妙想天马行空光怪陆离到最后还是回归到了亲情的层面，上午看朋友圈有人说哭湿了三个口罩我还想有没有这么夸张，到最后也是哭了十来分钟，有些点真的很戳人
不能说非常喜欢，但主创人员请受我一拜orz，结构严谨，要素齐全，面面俱到，左右逢源，致敬各种电影，穿插各种梗，还很疯狂不算油腻。每一句鸡汤后面都还能给出一个具体的操作。这一切都是怎么做到的？最难的是一开始的部分，有点无聊，之后渐入佳境，把女儿的怨念转向外公的控制，一个老套的核心故事，但能装进这种新瓶子里我是服气的。。。
伪英雄片（真英雄片突出社会性）+伪cult片（真cult片突出反叛性）=传统家庭片。大多数电影都用寻常角色讲非常事，这片子里的爹味妈和妈味爹，太不典型了，代入感很差。同题材的红熊猫虽然也烂，至少把我看哭了，只能说性转强扭改过的剧本确实没办法甜，爱蹭热度的男导演果然不行。希望有朝一日真正的大女主戏，她的爱情和亲情部分可以淡化到大男主戏一个比例。
