Autumn 1977. Derek Springfield is an 18-year-old misfit, who 5 years earlier was plucked from his home in the industrial outskirts of Leeds to attend Public School on a scholarship. He has just returned home at the end of his studies to await his Oxbridge results that he's hoping will result in his permanent escape. Life at home is awkward for the brainy lad and embarrassing for his working class family who can't relate: his feckless dad, no-nonsense mum and two older brothers, one a football hopeful and the other a distinctly dodgy acquirer of flash consumer goods.
Derek kills time by walking a no hope greyhound, Slapper, and loving out-of-his league Chrissie from afar. But under Derek's loving care Slapper gets faster - so fast she's stolen for her racing potential. Derek despairs at being completely alone once more but Chrissie gets the local community to keep watch. Slapper eventually escapes from her furious captors at an illegal flapper track. Exhausted, she somehow finds her way back and is reunited with Derek who tries to nurse her back to health his bedroom without his family finding out.
Derek, Chrissie and Slapper disguise themselves to avoid the dognappers and try their luck at racing her at a proper dog track. The dognappers and all the Springfields converge on the stadium for the exciting climax.
Its also the day Derek's results are due...
其实最后那个SHARE HOUSE还蛮好的啊，有距离又没距离
幽默，讽刺，好笑的同时又透着对生活的无奈。不可多得的佳作
前面太苦啦。结尾很温暖。给了一个新的老年生活的思路。奶奶最后的一首歌，差点泪奔
所以日本政府鼓励用share house的方式养老了，现实恐怕很难是这样的happy together.
还是很典型的日本电影，可以一看，有意思，反映了当下一些问题
又是一出和乐融融得家庭温馨剧，有催婚的含义，有对养老的担忧，好像又在说再困难只要家人都在就好克服，总之看着开心也接受教育了，这就是电影成功的地方。“人要任性一点啊”，“好”……
没想到是家庭喜剧……以为真的是讨论养老问题的我还是太天真🥲一地鸡毛的中年失业生活，这么欢乐也就是电影拍拍了……
哈哈哈我也要在死前热闹的办一场，收收回礼。就是想推行这个sharehouse吧还是感叹一下上有老下有小的中年人有多苦逼hhhh不过怎么说，到时候肯定是一堆老人，不可能会有年轻人跑进去住还照顾你们的。虽然已经和好几个闺蜜约好了一起养老也差不多是这个意思吧，大家把房子一卖，留一套其他的钱就该花花该吃吃该买买，像五郎的妈妈那样，趁活着的时候潇洒！！
谈不上有多好，但也不难看，亮点只在于天海佑希、松重丰、草笛光子三个人精彩的表演上面，3.5星吧
生前葬礼-感谢会，能聚集真好，养老真是要转换观念。人啊，还是任性点好啊，给自己花钱。好日子不是理所当然，时间会变化。
还真是东亚一般同，后半截画风突然正能量，导演收钱了吧
finally原来是广告，作为广告很用心了:-D
后半段还是挺温馨的。
4. 子女都愿意赡养老人的
一部特别温馨感人的家庭轻喜剧，生老病死，人生中最沉重的事情，在电影中，以喜剧的形式表现了出来，而最后那场草笛光子扮演的婆婆“活人葬礼”，更是让人笑中带泪，十分感人！
柴米油盐，生老病死，日本人在这种题材，确实是高手级的存在…有笑有泪，还有天海宝冢的彩蛋
去除电影温馨的一幕，影片当中涉及养老及养老金，社会诈骗，失业等等，现实问题虽不错，但描述的不够深，亦如电影的主要基调一般，嘻嘻哈哈也就过去了，使得电影的娱乐功能大大胜余了对残酷现实的挖掘。而最后的卖房租公屋，不免让人有逃避现实的感觉。
三星，很现实的题材，虽然避重就轻但当成反讽还是可以看的，多的一星是给导演的勇气，这都敢拍
喜庆归喜庆，但是对于上有老下有小都要管的中老年，自己卖房住合租公寓……日本政府这波广告打的(-｡-;
蛮搞笑的，剧情中规中矩，就是讲经济萧条也要保持好心态保持希望。天海这个身高233这么多年笑容依旧阳光灿烂。
