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.
电影在四分之三处全面崩塌！莫名其妙，不可救药！朔爷还是那套标志性语言，王珞丹整体还算契合，王传君不够嘚瑟，丁小萌这个名字都显得这么王朔～朔爷不再牛逼，我们都已老去～
剧情太散太乱了，人物动机让人摸不着头脑，借由去布拉格研究干细胞的外衣让男女的强行分离，又强行加入另一段感情，但是又没有爱情，更像是为了拍男主研究干细胞的不易，并且研究成功了，成“不老奇事”了？男女主的相遇相识更像是朋友之间的友谊，谈什么青梅竹马。女二号更是神经大条，又为啥爱上了男主？男主为啥去了一趟非洲，还差点死在那？女主的孩子又是怎么怀上的啊？
何止两段，前中后是三段电影吧！
前半段是接地气的爱情故事，后半部分变成干细胞，外加眼睁睁看着王小莫他妹逐渐癫狂，越来越像神棍片了。能看出来想探讨很多深奥的东西，但是咱这完全没铺垫就转换的破本子就别来这么多花里胡哨的了吧？失望，太他妈失望，离谱，离他妈大谱……
没有去影院看这部片子，真的是遗珠之憾。充满文艺片气息的娓娓道来，让你在不知不觉中度过了一次人生。关于爱情、人生、失去、错过、死亡，每个字眼都会让你思考良久。所有演员都表现出特别高的水准，女二李婷婷更是一句台词让人破防，王13多年不见竟然能演出原汁京味，太多惊喜让我评本片为2021年最佳国产影片，没有之一。
干细胞相关的戏过于重了，喧宾夺主，而且让片名里面「奇」的意境被消解掉了，王朔风格强烈的对白给影片加分不少，前半部分还是不错的。ps，真没看出那是王啸坤！这角色真好，会让人期待出场的那种好
很喜欢前半段比较现实主义的部分，甚至有股第六代遗风 ，而正如片中原本扎实的时代背景在某一个年份突然断裂一样，情节本身也开始显得割裂和虚浮，最终七拐八绕进入了一个谁也不知道是什么东西的时空。而唯一有连续性的、提醒观众这仍然是同一部电影的事物就是王传君那副一万年一个细胞都懒得变化一下的面瘫丧逼表情，这才是名副其实的“不老奇事”。
不好意思，时间讲的久了，这就是我的故事，我的旅途，我的亲人们，我的朋友们。
这部不是讲逻辑，是讲情怀，不是讲理性，是讲感性，所以也不必苛求它没有的，权且感受它想说的。没怎么看过王朔，都能从字里行间看到王朔，或许这就是王朔之所以是王朔。不是说他好或不好，他就是他。至于它差或不差，于我它高于预期，多有共鸣，态度诚恳，整体舒适，我愿称之为艺术表达。表达出来，接不接招，那是观者自己的事儿了。
看到五颜六色的歌舞厅霓虹灯旁，是黯然失色的“百花齐放”，想起前几天还在跟朋友分析韩国2010年的票房冠军，还在调侃《憨豆特工》和《飓风营救》，我在朋友宿舍哭得像个找不到奶奶的孩子。无论是王朔还是徐超，你们也就只敢在灯红酒绿旁边悄悄地写上已经销声匿迹的四个字了。
非常王朔了，老派、可爱，90年代的浪漫。王传君的演技并没有惊艳到我，就是普通水准吧。另外就是旁白和长镜头太多了，没啥必要的。
梁子很正 包袱也不馊 就可惜跟预料的一样 要打到最后的呈现点子上总难免有所偏差
有故事的人讲故事总是那么有味道 王朔对死亡与爱情这永恒议题中无限的沉沦与思考 片子两段式非常明显 后半段的隐喻和给观众的想象空间放在商业片中也显得有些高端 对于每个关于生命的议题只是抛砖引玉 有太多的感悟是建立在遗憾之上 而幸运的是两人的表演足以贯穿和赋予故事灵魂 这混沌的世界想要追寻最终的答案 也许都藏在终点到来的时刻
没看懂想说什么，但是看完了想打干细胞，吃高粱饴
一旦代入，就会戳中。若细琢磨，就全是槽点，主要是对男人的槽点。
镜头语言的运用很熟练 演员的演技也不错 剧本太刻意 很多设计匠气得很 打三星 多一星是因为我也想和王珞丹谈恋爱
如果我会忘记你，那那个人就不是我了，喜欢这个片儿的质感，格局，喃喃自语，埋下的有趣的伏笔和设定那些，比如两个人上了那个运送化学品的列车上，比如奔跑就会摔倒，越着急越无法到达，比如丁教授被马桶冲走一生，我喜欢它对死亡的浪漫阐述，抗拒却不畏惧，它出脱现实，但情感和人物又回归现实，选曲和配乐也合适，很有味道的一个电影，有点儿缥缈和悠远，多多少少被低估了，7/10吧，看进去了，有点儿喜欢，一切可能关于爱情，但更关于死亡，比较爱情和死亡是同时产生的，
烂片就是烂片，再怎么营销洗白也改变不了烂片！王传君你应该感到羞愧！！！
只不过，结尾处的台词:＂你好，苏凌芳。＂表示当生命和记忆归去，鲁还在，还陪着苏，还帮她记得所有。
导演想表达的东西太多，但是控场能力太差，可惜了王传君
