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.
北野武自己自传改编的漫才青年时代的故事，故事容量稍小，不过也有亮点，像北野武给师傅扫墓那一段。当然还有门胁麦的感情线。好的女演员不是靠写真的漂亮，而是靠演出来的性感。
“像我这种与过去人生一刀两断的人，怎么可以得过且过？”看哭了😭 北野老师的人生太滚烫了😭 这或许就是不怕流氓会打架就怕流氓有文化吧😭 这部电影改编自北野老师的自传，影片重点表现了他对师傅深见千三郎的思念。影帝跟大泉洋的表演都很到位，只不过这个片子的戏剧化结构注定了它就只能是一部流水线“主题乐园”。
名为浅草小子，也可以叫浅草之子，既表明了北野武学习出道的地方，也意味着和他的师傅之间如师如父的关系。其实按照北野武自己的作风，这部自传的风格不会如此温和，但是两位主演，尤其是大泉洋演绎的师傅，让人忘记了这演的是北野武的故事，喜欢上这个略有套路也有些煽情的故事，搞笑而不是被笑，引领而不是逢迎，不仅是谐星，适用于任何行业。
岛国传统艺人的生存状态，类似相声行业。北野武的传记。
北野武72年拜师学习，94年骑摩托车重伤面瘫。电影里武叔提前二十二年面瘫，导演显然没做功课，柳乐优弥的脸整体透露着诡异的氛围，两星不合格。
4/5
影帝发挥出色！师父表演精彩但是！演员太像吴政世了让我看得出戏😰师母竟然是铃木保奈美！😧
是因为netflix投资的关系吗，片子长得像一个好莱坞片，不像部日本电影
师娘的地方很好，影帝很努力了，但也可能是北野武只能成为梗却不能是别人演绎的，放弃模仿才更容易演成吧。
没想到师傅给了那么多温柔啊，扣一星的原因是男主很努力模仿北野武，但只学到了他的抽搐😂
好喜欢北野武啊，有这么好的师父真是幸运，「不要讨好观众，由你来告诉观众什么是有趣的。」以及想起了老爷子自己在《红鳉鱼》里演的教落语的那个师父。
我们也已经越来越缺少这样的精神，师父没有师父样子，徒弟更是忘恩负义，毫无忌惮，如今不仅不能奢求社会普遍价值观推崇感激师父的点化之恩，甚至只要不反目成仇、恶语相向就已经算有教养了吧？所谓人心不古！
同为网飞投资，这部北野武的自传电影看起来就像2016年的大热日剧《火花》，同为漫才艺人，同为失落群体，同样有一个可能有着足够天赋但并未得到机会的入门老师，同样描绘的是这种师徒之间的感情，也同样的动人。可以理解现在的北野武为何性格如此，而这部由自传改编的电影更像是北野武对恩师的回忆录，一体两面的巨大反差才构成了这个演艺圈异类的全部，火葬只烧一半应该这种饱含悲痛的漫才吐槽明显是北野武能力范围内的个人发挥，因为每一个喜剧背面都有一个悲剧。
哇这个配乐加上柳乐优弥的表演，差点在前十分钟就让我看哭了。影帝真的好有魅力，喜欢北野武的和喜欢影帝的都爽到了。
结尾的长镜头真得是催泪，谁不想在晚年的时候有这么一个回眸长镜头呢。让人想起《堕落街传奇》里最后一集的长镜头。整个片子拍得非常工整流畅，没有太多花招，踏踏实实地讲完了北野武的这段经历，大泉洋和柳乐优弥发挥出色，张弛有度。能脑补出北野武看得时候骂骂咧咧说拍得什么玩意，然后又一边落泪嘴角抽搐的样子。
影帝演北野武感觉还是太强调「形」了，虽然把标志性特点模仿得很用心，但有时候呈现出来的感觉像另外一种用力过猛……演喜剧人太工整紧绷反而离原型很远。
6.从一小时三十分起，影片情感才逐渐积累起来，令人动容，对于时长2个小时的影片，观众可能并不是非常适应这种先抑（一个半小时）后扬的效果
唯一槽点：北野武年轻时候没有面瘫啊！这个不用刻意模仿啊！最后的老年北野武真的是惊了，居然不是本尊，依然是柳乐优弥的化妆，完全看不出来！是枝裕和到真是挖出了一个超棒的影帝啊。B站有这电影的混剪，比电影更好哭→【【北野武|浅草小子】“我的人生才刚刚开始!”-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/39hR8uU
很平庸，毕竟这是滚烫的人生。差不多是从在后台跳踢踏舞才算有感觉。大泉洋比柳乐优弥好太多，柳乐优弥表演痕迹太重，太执着于北野武的招牌动作。好看的是真实的人生。
结尾一镜到底+踢踏舞赛高！一日为师，终身为父。葬礼时同僚讲出来师匠不愿意关馆的原因时，瞬间泪奔。菊次郎里的踢踏舞也是像师匠致敬！唯一的遗憾就是要是北野武本人出境就好了。
