New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
其实是一部合格的爆米花爱情电影，同样类似的桥段别人都已经可以完全合理男女角色调换了，可能我们的国产爱情片还是仍然霸道总裁爱上我吧
《我的巨星妻子》《巨星妻子爱上我》
对标去年Kristen最终只在Hulu亮相的《最幸福的季节》以及Hallmark Channel从前两年开始邀请Jonathan Bennett等人试验性的出现，“工业糖精”式的圣诞电影果然也要把每个群体一网打尽。从《丑女贝蒂》开始，就殷切期盼Michael Urie小可爱有大作为、有单人发光的作品…如今他都40岁了（雪地里笑起来都有皱纹TAT…），也总算等到了；但愿这不是终点，也要打破每个屏障。【不过最惊喜的选角当属《富家穷路》“Jocelyn”Jennifer Robertson！】
我們都需要這些不用大腦可以一邊看一邊做家務的音樂rom con。
萍水相逢在影院，帅哥学霸情款款。
年过半百就别演小妞电影了 刚开始搭配Maluma看得头皮都在抓自己了
Soooooo stupid. Jennifer Coolidge is the only highlight, and tbh I don’t know why she agreed to do this movie. Answer: the gays are “obsessed with me.” 5/10
这类片子太多了，哪怕找再好的明星来感觉都拍成一个样子，至今没有人能超过诺丁山，令人惋惜……
又甜又好哭。男主角真的是传统的理想欧美男友了！
5' 内地公映版｜
很平淡但剧情忽然离谱，但是全部看完就觉得好像又不太离谱
剧情太无厘头了吧...21世纪的玛丽苏也不是这样的...
各种刻板印象，印度数学老师哈哈哈，英国人不一定gay但一定要gay，Elementary, my dear Watson.
没有抱什么预期，反而有点意料之外的惊喜。想到什么就去做吧，就趁现在还来得及。惊喜和意外也许也是冥冥中的注定，就因为在人群中多看了你一眼（？）有勇气可真好啊。（20220518）
每首歌都好听，不想和诺丁山比，诺丁山更弱智
两人情歌唱得再动人，又有什么卵用？会出轨的依然会出轨！
甜萌帅各种款都有，剧情很cliche，圣诞大概就是这种无脑合家欢的最大市场。ps .iphone的摄像头要给本片打钱
人鬼情未了modern version，这个放现代是有点outdated，起码二十～三十年吧，有点九十年代那种，甚至千禧初chick flick的风格都没有感觉到，well不过即便如此，青春纯爱故事也比Netflix的狗血青春强，至少可以让人感觉到romance那种。其实最后那个accident给我的就是太牵强了，dude他们可是在居民住宅区啊，咋开车能开那么快还能把人撞死啊。。。。而且还直勾勾怼上去了，一点紧急转向刹车都没。感觉有点命运杀的意味，anyway，just average to me
If you sit in the question long enough, the answer finds you. And the answer is I don't want to keep making the same mistakes over and over. I want something different. If you want something different, you have to do something different.
美式音乐喜剧，让我坚持看完的理由是编剧会从那个角度切开把男主塞进去。虽然我第一反应就是偷情，但没想到的是很久之前的虽然也算数，但少了些碰撞与动荡。
