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.
居然比预想的还要走心～昏迷20年的拉拉队长在37岁高龄继续回中学争夺毕业晚会皇后～个人成长/友情亲情/社交网络时代和千禧年的碰撞～看到致敬小甜甜的Crazy听到Hot in Here，Come On Over等时代金曲串烧真的情怀加分～
平平无奇的校园轻喜剧，但怀旧情怀拉满，甚至请到了AS客串，《独领风骚》如此经典！轻松快乐，政治正确和吐槽都恰到好处，对这样的小妞电影无需过分要求。RW瘦了之后脸很好看，只是从医院醒来就是全妆实在有点违和。
曾经的两大猛男，专拍热血动作片的梅尔杰布森和马克沃尔伯格，现在拍了一部算是励志的传记片。主角也是命运多舛，人生的打击一波接一波，大难不死没有后福，而让他承受更大的灾难，上帝啊。
最后的煽情还算合格，前边人物的描写刻画太简单，导演叙事能力还是有欠缺。
i tended not to focus on the assumed smart alec itself as the main theme but immersing on the SOMETIMES uniquely chanted film language...
对《女孩梦三十》的拙劣模仿，笑点不高，致敬britney的那段不错。

美式青春校园生活电影在2022年的绝好复刻，传递的价值观真的很正啊，有歌舞，有欢乐，有青春的活力，有对生活的正向引导，不错不错
有信仰挺好。，有倾诉的地方，有倾听的对象，能被劝解，能被理解……自己化解烦恼，痛苦是需要很大的勇气
很老的老套路了，但还是挺吃美式青春电影，回忆高中时期的那一段镜头和配乐都不错，挺让人有共鸣的
看到旺仔小王子的标记，我速速来看。他们拍电影的时候应该很开心吧，那就够了，rebel wilson瘦身后是辣妹。
浪费那么热血的开头，后面平淡的都快睡着了，爱秀肌肉的马克沃克伯格得了肌肉萎缩，这片子也是如此！
看到泰温公爵不愿意出钱去救儿子，我不怀好意滴笑了。中规中矩的北极故事，剧情一般表演一般，心疼那些狗狗，人类雄心勇气的牺牲品。
校园喜剧电影的巅峰停留在2010年，至今没有进步过。整个好莱坞都没有更好的创意输出了。甚至连个像样的海报都没有。
219th 一切都过于美好，不真实地像个童话，但是悲惨绝望的现实中确实需要这种轻松的片子图一乐。不过千禧年代都到了被致敬回忆的时刻，竟然都没人记得曾经分庭抗礼的Christina Aguilera了。
主演选得妙。The transformer is always the transformer! 这种以真实事件改编的电影直击我的泪腺。前有《钢锯岭》后有《神父斯图》
只能强行理解了。
OMG 当千禧年的Britney和Xtina的歌响起，时代的眼泪💧 you drive me crazy响起真的汹涌澎湃好像回到了13 14岁卡带的年代，那个时候CD DVD演唱会每周补习去音像店选专辑的年代，毕业典礼2022届那个粉丝量最多的校园女孩全名叫Britney，这部剧很烂但我愿意给这部电影四星
真人改编，马克总能把小人物刻画的淋漓尽致，屌帅屌帅的
普普通通，留了石堆地标 又折返，让人非常的无语
