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.
毫无逻辑可言，但是看得还挺欢乐的，就当无厘头搞笑灾难片看了
导演优秀的叙事方法让这个“尴尬”的中年爱情故事变得优美生动起来
行叭，看得大家人都没惹…(´･ω･`)？？？
三星半。用21世纪的笔法改编18世纪的故事竟然有些有趣，让永远get不到奥斯丁的我看得进津津有味。但是男女主真的没啥化学反应。导演是不是很爱伦敦生活？总是在这里那里看到一些伦敦生活的影子，人间清醒的达妹非常像客观理智版的fleabag
达科塔·约翰逊的个人秀，感觉跟简·奥斯汀已经毫不相关了。但这个丝毫看不出任何演技，纯粹走秀、摆拍，各别场的造型还有点拉跨的女主戏，对自身的演艺生涯毫无作用。
托斯卡纳和美食本身就够治愈了，所以少了帅哥也可以。好怀念意大利啊
奥斯汀改编古偶，也不是不可以，但不要这么庸俗好不好？每一句女主望着摄像机说出来的台词，每一个chick film傻大姐式俗套桥段都让我尴尬得直打哆嗦，尤其女主在饭桌上大声说出妹夫原来要娶自己来着，电脑前的我尴尬得呀，真想砸了电脑，然后让自己钻到书桌下头去了……
差一点就两星。所有好的台词都是奥斯丁原话，后加的台词听完我直摇头。我对啥样的改编都没有意见只要保留人物的核心精神就好了，但可惜这部没有。诺桑觉寺、艾玛非常适合这样调皮的改编，唯独劝导是一个成熟女人的最后美好幻想，不容亵渎🙏
fleabag版《劝导》。我依稀记得原著没有那么活泼，虽然大体情节非常还原原著故事，但加入非常多喜剧元素，而且不是奥斯汀式略带讽刺的幽默，是逗乐。在细节上的微调充满二十一世纪的新诠释。喜欢女主选角，很贴《劝导》，但是男主看起来像个傻子……
勉强能看，前面非常磨叽，结尾再来个朝鲜半岛这么大的坑就完美了…狗头保命
光洙呀，下次不要演pabo了。
没有英国脸的人拍英国古装剧怎么看怎么别扭，而且这电影里的男的都长的什么歪瓜裂枣，找不到男演员了吗？？
Dakota，promise me you will never do monologue ever again
这种一边进行剧情一边欢快旁白的电影是真的烦
达科塔·约翰逊的个人秀，感觉跟简·奥斯汀已经毫不相关了。但这个丝毫看不出任何演技，纯粹走秀、摆拍，各别场的造型还有点拉跨的女主戏，对自身的演艺生涯毫无作用。
看不下去了，灾难片胡说八道，搞笑片乱七八糟。
说是灾难片，还蛮欢乐的，主角光环强大得很，知道后面是happyending
中年人的感情虽然无法免俗，但是成熟的处理方式倒是挺符合中年人的体面的。剧情可能只值得三颗星，但是有了美景和美食的加持，多给一星也无妨
背信爱的信仰，被地位财富劝服，再相遇，被爱劝服？是这样吗？
灾难片前段里有很多幽默的桥段，整栋楼质量那么好，从天坑掉下去那么深都没塌，本抱着搞笑灾难片看。然而一看到底层的奶奶就想起了姥姥，突然泪崩
