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.
合家欢电影，人物刻画更多的吃设定。没看过前作的话不太友好，会一头雾水。不过，作为轻松愉快的电影观看体验还算及格。
好爱Wednesday啊，喜欢她的台词
更多的意义在于纪录吧，以后分析东木的专题片里肯定无限和《荒野大镖客》闪回交错出现。
说实话没有第一部好看，但是还是故事说清楚了
续集节奏也太差了，东拼西凑的完全没有给每个人形象加成，叔叔完全变成工具人…也没有第一部那种阴森森的搞笑氛围了，失去了addams的灵魂…
日常还是亚当斯的风格，但这主线剧情......感觉IP要毁了
跟第一集问题一样，细节还成，但主线还是太不爱登士家庭了，也就最后克苏鲁大舅vs邪恶大鸡科学家能看看？
看完本来准备打一个离谱的低分，然后主题曲响了，又加上一星。太浪费这么好的设定了，失望。
第一部还是个情怀..也比较的新奇..第二部简直不知所云了...一顶假发引起的祸??不过我真的好喜欢Wednesday~
Wednesday明明那么聪明，竟然还被骗了…坏蛋boss也一下就被人猜到了，剧情一般，很多情节含糊不清一下就被跳过了…
动画画质不错，人物环境都有很逼真的质感、光泽。剧情无厘头搞笑，还行。在还没有弄清医院里是否抱错了时为什么亚当斯夫妇不关心自己真正的女儿去哪儿了。
总觉得道路两旁的破落小镇有着别样的魅力，掩盖的灰黄色尘土下别样、生动、充满生机的生活，他们就像一位位与时光无关的老人注视着南来北往、西去东来的人与车，静态的生活与动态的社会间奇妙融合。随着年岁的增加，曾经天下行走的骁健牛仔总是遏制不住对往昔的怀念，曾经的慷慨激昂都已过去，对亲人的思念爬满心头。年轻时追逐的玩乐、财富、荣誉都不再重要，回归平静的生活。
看得开心不就行了，所有celebrate weirdness的电影都加一星！
度假？海滩？？公路旅行？？ 星期三变成弱智被一秒洗脑 小手全程壁花 几乎没有戏份 （很喜欢这个角色呀）以前的机智小手去哪了？？ 反派角色也是串到丁丁历险记里了 it就这？来了走了🤷🏿♂️ 最后一家人还爱上旅行 环游全球？？？ 看喜羊羊和灰太狼都比这个解闷吧
越来越不哥特，直接就成了糖果色的低幼全家欢。
看着老牛仔迟暮的身影还在拼，我实在不忍心给低分，每次都带着且看且珍惜的心在敬畏东木爷爷的作品。但讲真的这部拍得并没有很好，故事有些地方的发展真的不顺畅，很多桥段设计感略重。
没之前那么阴暗了，不过我喜欢Wednesday
幼稚，低幼，给五岁小孩儿看得，不能再大了，再大一点的孩子怕是也坐不住
低情商:大杂烩
故事娓娓道来但并不足够吸引人，如果不是东木，我觉得根本不会有人投资。但是人到了这个岁数，拍的电影一定是十分私人化的表达—不会再去竞争什么奖项了，也没有事业的巅峰可以冲击了，连荷尔蒙都衰退殆尽了，唯一剩下的只有回忆、忏悔以及对生命的爱。91岁的东木已经气息不稳，弯腰驼背，步履蹒跚，但是他没有停止拍摄。他也从来不是那种完美主义艺术家，和雷德利斯科特一样，这种优秀导演高产必有平庸之作，但是他们从来没有离开他们的影迷啊！
