David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
马住 疫情以来第一次看电影 almost 2 years
过于熟悉的Teenager视角，剧情实在太平庸了。
通讯录版傲慢与偏见，很多情节很老套了，追船啊误解啊，强行设置阶级鸿沟，虽说不恋爱的现象确实存在，但是刻意反一夫一妻制而转向炮友关系实在难以苟同。
别cancel我，但同志文化真的让我不想当同志。。。
6 剧情简单 轻松 儿童电影 女主角很可爱 主角团智商在线…木有大场面 高潮不给力 剧情一般 主角团政治很正确 …
算是很有诚意的贩卖情怀，另外小女孩长的太灵了，如果翻拍哈利波特绝对要选她演赫敏啊！！！
想讲的有点多，有点乱，一下这一下那的....
热热闹闹，欢欢喜喜，从追求性到遇见爱，这是一个愉快的夏天。
P&P现代美国给化中再早的《秋天之前》小作坊压抑，衬得这里浪漫喜剧化很讨喜。经典置于当下语境更新迭代是贴合且真实反应社群文化生态，起底鄙视链很好嫁接对应“阶级”。流行文化梗从《傲骨贤妻》、扎夫隆到SNL、“桃片”无聊/好看（“很遗憾这非MCU一部分”笑拉，但杨伯文啊你letterboxd打三星）都会心一笑。最有趣的幕后相关梗在赵牡丹说自己不会投资，是“早期Quibi投资者”。而本片最初是作为当年大放厥词“短视频网飞”一年后倒闭的Quibi的短视频剧集开发，后来才回炉重造成如今网大。因此，问题在仍然有短平快切割痕迹，喜剧咖们深层情感和怀疑的演绎可以更加细腻。但在6月配合议题背景，宣告着甜腻湿黏夏天到来，就像双脚浸润在浪起潮落的沙滩，海风拂面般清爽。伯文值得更多的可能性，宾利是YOUforty
前面还行，后面挺谜的。boss浓浓廉价感像穿了串灯的衣服。
一点点套路一点点浪漫一点点毒舌，真就基版《傲慢与偏见》啊哈哈哈哈。不过要表扬丰富的肤色！
剧本不够，情怀来凑。续集导演是前作导演的儿子，小麦真的太好看了，小小只应该至少两年前拍的吧，2星半。
超好看呀。看这种傻白甜电影 有笑点哭点就好。而且演员都自然清新脱俗 哈哈哈哈 太gam power了
前面还行，后面挺谜的。boss浓浓廉价感像穿了串灯的衣服。
前面还不错，小演员都很好，后面有些撑不住了
怀念童年的儿童电影，如今40岁的我看到那些老家伙的时候还是有点感动的，希望现在的孩子看了这部依然能有幸福感。
从纽约搬到乡村，顿时冷清，儿童向也支撑不起情感，好歹有老班底客串，鬼后也够邪典
救命我有什么想不开的要去电影院看这个？！太无聊了真的，全程靠音响营造气氛耳朵都快聋了，剧情也太平了人物也是无趣，浪费了两小时😴
父亲拍Harold的Ghostbuster，儿子拍续集，一代人来来去去，不变的是电影质量一直很差。
连着幕后原版Spangler演员去世的故事看还挺感人的……但整个高潮来得都太晚了。全片最大笑点：别人都在深情演感情时在一旁跟野人一样的paul rudd哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
