David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.

朴素真诚，李焕英像曾经的春晚，唐探三大概是这两年的春晚（疯狂拉踩！）
你不太确定那是不是感动，你为这样的自己感到厌恶
为什么表妹撕了你刚拿到的结婚证你都不生气。因为那是你女儿啊。
影片没有教育人，也没有强行升华主题，只是贾玲在寄托对母亲的思念。从我记事起妈妈就是一个中年妇女的样子，所以我忘了，妈妈也曾是一名花季少女。
知道是煽情，却没有被冒犯的感觉。我们每个人都有妈妈，在跟妈妈道别时我们都会哭得跟贾玲一样...
她们也曾在我们看不到的地方年轻过，灿烂过，耀眼过。
但这并不是电影想要表达的主题，电影想表达的是，你的母亲觉得有你这样的儿女，就已经很幸福了。
有一种“上当”了的感觉，第一次觉得豆瓣评分不可信
当然这个电影很多笑点是有点像小品，但是这不比隔壁屎尿屁好看多了？我就踩一捧一了，我就要高举李焕英大旗，赶紧给我冲冲冲！票房超过隔壁吧，要不然我会气死。
这次感受注定是感性压倒理性的，所以就不打分了。
每一帧都写满了真诚。绝大部分笑料停留在春晚级别，基础的预期违背以及偶尔的body shame和屎尿屁，最高级的算是二人转舞台的沉默，沾了点时代性差异和人文气息。我最喜欢的包袱是王小利宋晓峰的内部梗。整体观感如友邻言，看情感力量的冲击是否大到让你主动忽略诸多作为一部电影的不合理。恐怕是我到了一事无成、对家庭愧疚的年纪了，太容易对这种反馈亲情的作品共情，那句“我的记忆里我妈妈就是中年妇女的样子”一出来直接给我整破防了。btw，贾玲的导演之路就止于此是最好的选择，毕竟这种老天爷给的题材不会有第二个了
3.5 哎后半段太拉垮了，结尾碎片式的回忆私人断裂而泛滥，但前面真的是绝好的喜剧啊！创作者还是要跟自己的经历拉开一定距离才好
感情上到位了，可以理解子欲养而亲不待的心情。
比预想中好太多。架构铺排疏密有致；节奏把握也特别棒，结尾戛然而止好评！既没有脱离现实，迁就春节档给happy ending，也没因悲剧结尾，而脱离全片氛围。看过贾玲几次采访，她都提到母亲的骤然离世对她是过不去的坎儿。这里头有女儿对母亲来不及说出口的爱，也有想为这人生巨大遗憾做些什么，好为这段母女之情画下一个标点以慰母亲与自己。从知道她要拍这部电影后，我就有这种感觉。影片上映，作品不俗，我们虽不相识，但我由衷为她高兴。无论从故事本身还是商业角度来说，影片的表现都非常优秀。悲剧内核，喜剧做皮很容易生硬做作滥情，但贾玲和团队非常完美避开了大部分此类国产类型片很难逃过的大坑。也很正常，这就应该是现在国内顶尖喜剧团队之一应有的水平。搞笑太自然，水到渠成。真心希望这样自然流畅的喜剧片多一点再多一点！
贾岛三观有点不太对劲，不止这一次电影里体现出来的。相信她的哭喊是发自肺腑的对母亲的思念，但电影本身的质量其实一般也是客观事实，一码归一码
朴素真诚，李焕英像曾经的春晚，唐探三大概是这两年的春晚（疯狂拉踩！）
其实影片前面部分很一般，最多3星，但确实最后情真意切，加一星
2020年，妈妈永远地离开了我
即使已经看过了几部邱炯炯作品作为铺垫，看《椒麻堂会》还是大为震撼，视觉、音乐、美学，每个方面都这么丰富而独具匠心。看过一礼拜了，还不断回想起更多的细节。比如重温预告片时突然想到，这段诡异的唢呐版《太阳出来喜洋洋》是不是正源自《大酒楼》里老人回忆把哀乐吹成了《太阳出来喜洋洋》的故事。能强烈感到导演丰富而独特的家庭背景，如何一步步将他引向这部集大成者。易思成浑厚磁性的声音也值得一提，看时没想到他并不是川剧演员（其实电影几乎没有直接展现川剧表演，满篇都是川剧而不见川剧），甚至都不是专业演员。邱导选人的眼光和他的美术风格一样，独特又毒辣。
