Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
(Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

第一次看喜羊羊系列大电影，全场有一半以上的孩子，看电影看出了现场篮球赛的感觉。
不过整体的霓虹画风看的我眼睛酸不拉几的，喜羊羊那霓虹眼珠子走夜路都不用开灯
杰帅挺帅的，出场的时候后面的小朋友在喊“杰帅杰帅”
和儿子一起看很开心
6/10
3:电影真的只适合低幼儿年龄段观看，稍微大一点的估计都提不起劲来观看
我们认识多久了？五千多集了吧…… 永远都会为热血番和童年杀而感动！
这部是筐出胜利的续作，就算我没看完动画也丝毫不妨碍观影体验，主线背景叙事完整就是故事老套路了。运动部分燃炸了，不懂篮球也能看得我热血沸腾。
给五星好评，感谢儿子自己才有机会被感动一次
说实话真的是惊喜更多一点，虽然故事还是比较薄弱，很多地方过度不太自然，但是算上情怀加持分，我还是推荐这部动画电影的。
灌篮高羊！蛮热血的，狼羊齐心夺总冠军，感觉还是有点微妙的。。

剧情衔接，情感过渡，都有种很怪的感觉，节奏不太对，怎么一上来就和灰太狼吵“你来之前守护者就没输过”，也不见得其他队友配合得很好嘛，全程都在看喜羊羊在秀。还有音乐给满分！！！
这根本不是喜羊羊与灰太狼，当懒羊羊说出“我会认真记录的”那刻，真是ooc到极致了。
作为00后来说 喜洋洋的IP简直是童年回忆 作为又一部剧场版 不止适合孩子 也适合大人 梦想励志 友情团结等因素俱全 标标准准的同时 多加一星 只因是那群活泼的羊和可爱的狼
哈哈
有古早励志偶像剧那味，不过看在5000多集的份上，还有这原版配音，简直不能太爱。
8.5/10 没有cba决赛的一天，很想看球选了个轻松的，没想到这么好看…即使知道大体走向也还是会被感动，每个角色都有弧光，各有所长共同组成完美团队。辅助般的内线守护者，从暴食到自律的外线投手，不断精进技术的盖帽弹跳，灵活的控球后卫，速度最快最能得分的明星选手（我愿称喜羊羊为电影版郭艾伦）以及攻防兼备出其不意的底牌，什么叫热血沸腾啊！被绝杀那一刻我脑子里立刻涌现两年1020的痛苦感，难受得眼泪唰唰掉，虽然最后是he但还是哭得不行，更是因为深知现实残酷。竞技体育的魅力在此、遗憾也在此，我看了8年cba、4年英雄联盟，那些热血沸腾、让人肾上腺素飙升的欣喜瞬间，那些无能为力而痛苦得夜不能寐的感受都如此真切。之前看过条弹幕，98兄弟只剩我家那对没拿过总冠军了。多希望生活能像电影一样眷顾我的主人公啊。
狼与羊携手共进、并肩作战，抛弃了“狼追养”的自然法则，对于粉丝而言多少会感到遗憾，毕竟对立关系才是《喜羊羊与灰太狼》的灵魂所在。“我们认识多久了？5000多集了吧。”看到这老泪纵横。 “灰喜兄弟”完美诠释了什么叫“陪伴才是最长情的告白‘’虽然仍旧怀念最初的画风，但是不管怎么说，为情怀买单，值了。
