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."
现在的我内心无波澜，是因为这部片的受众并不是我。
翻拍韩国的《世界上最美的离别》。徐帆演的很用力，但是把自己的女儿演的跟幼儿园老师很小朋友相处一样，用力过猛。原版里面女主还要处理跟婆婆的关系，想表达的还有一层意思是，癌症不仅是天灾，可能还有压力，这里用了温情的家庭场景表现了出来。

太恶心了，从这片开始徐帆说第一句话的时候我就明显感觉要凉，这种“小女人”的声音和说话方式怎么可能适合出演这样的一个母亲角色，直接导致全程我完全不能入戏和共情，再加上里面的人可以说没有一个是正常的，什么自认为自己什么都不行就直接去当小三的女儿，不知道嚣张什么的弟弟，宛如机器人一般的丈夫等。真的太狗血、太恶心了，妈的，看完居然能让我“骂娘”，这片子也是牛逼。
非常熟练的催泪技术和剧情安排，但是亲情这一挂我真的忍不住。
妈妈的问题、孩子的问题、家庭的问题展现的淋漓精致。看似俗套的影视剧家庭关系，背后却蕴含着的是现实。煽情却不刻意，感人温情的一部电影。
映后赵天宇导演说“他不想拍一部催泪的绝症电影”，我认为他做到了，是一次成功的本土化改编。
说实话，有些生气。这完全是在消费母爱。从没见过如此程式化的剧本和表演。1.故事究竟从谁的视角进？女儿还是妈妈？没有主视角直接导致影片变成流水账，谁都要讲一笔。妈妈果断剃头那里该是多么有张力的表演，直接切几个景别就过去了。2.到底要讲什么？在妈妈帮助下找到梦想、摆脱现在的生活是一种；抗癌过程是一种；重新认识妈妈是一种；记录坚强乐观的妈妈是一种……出口有很多，但主创最终什么也没选。不选也可以，但旁观、观察式电影有不错的标杆——给奔涌的情绪找到平静的出口，影片淡然却让观众泪流满面。
电影仅限于展现出故事而没有表现出创作者的思考，还有最后的结局有点过于童话，扣一星。
怎么说呢，知道想让你哭，也知道哪里想你哭，但你并没有很想哭。
母亲为子女和家庭付出一生的题材看多了就麻木了，其他演员也算中规中矩稳定输出，倒是第一次看张婧仪的戏，有点小惊喜，就是台词能力还需要加强。
会把自己代入女儿，不想让母亲管又内心愧疚，也许是母亲过高的期待扭曲了孩子，让孩子变得不知自己要什么，过于软弱。
我希望，我能够以本片中张婧仪的角色为戒，对家庭给予更多关注，对父母保持克制，这也是一生的修行。我更希望，社会对母亲和癌症患者给予更多关注，更多地思考中国女性的自我意识。
生命的尽头就谁经历谁知道吧，但是对于自己女儿当小三的理解？我就看不懂了，而且全程对待女儿的那种宠溺？！正常人，一个正常人，不是这样的吧
母亲为了丈夫，弟弟和女儿操劳一生，为了他们好也害了他们。一定要理解上一代母亲的选择，也希望这一代女性能选择自己想过的生活。
母女矛盾在一半的时候就被妈妈得癌症给消解了，完全不知道后面一半在拍什么。
真实的母亲就是很强大。
这样的故事注定需要演员挑大梁，徐帆的状态很好，一直在角色里，前期铺垫的很真实饱满。到后面一些无谓的转折出现时，演员有点兜不住了，很难给一个好的表演过渡。个人觉得刘枚的部分如果能分给弟弟，整个故事会更完整，不至于观众不知道刘枚出现的意义，以及对弟弟的幡然醒悟感到尴尬。
支线又多又稀碎 一群人搁这演话剧呢 许亚军给人一种接了烂本的好角色 不愿同流合污的感觉
徐帆老师突然贡献大泪点，我差点哭昏过去，金鸡七提预定。张婧仪长发演技不比周也好多少，短发立马跟刘浩存差不多水平了。许亚军具有难得真实的生活气息，李程彬就是被七月甩婚的番外。
