The Bucket List
Oh my gosh. This movie was absolutely wonderful. I laughed & cried, even some tears stained my husband's face. Very emotional movie. This is another flick to watch again & again. Like "As Good As It Gets" & "Driving Miss Daisy"! With these "2" Great Actors, Freeman & Nicholson, you couldn't go wrong. No Violence or Drugs, what a breath of Fresh Air. It breaks that barrier where you don't judge a person by the color of their skin or how much $$ they do/don't have. We didn't get to see it @ the Movie so receiving this over the holidays as a Gift was an Inspirational Gift too. It ws completely diffferent than what I expected from previews. I give it **********!

Bucket List
Really good movie to watch and watch again. Underlying message is one we should all take to heart. It's a keeper.

Live Your Dreams
The movie "The Bucket List" depicts the relationship between two men dying of cancer and how their unlikely pairing helps fulfill the unmet needs of the other. The two men are admitted to the same hospital room. The corporate millionaire and the scholarly mechanic initially are not at all interested in one another. Their friendship begins after each receives their diagnosis and therefore has something in common.

The scholarly mechanic begins a "bucket to do list" only to crumple it and throw it on the floor. The corporate millionaire finds it on the floor picks it up and reads it. He interrogates the scholarly mechanic and proceeds to add to the list. Soon both men are working together to complete the "bucket to do list" before they kick the bucket. The list varies from "sky-diving" to "kissing the most beautiful woman in the world."

The Warner Brother Pictures movie features the always irreverent Jack Nicholson as Edward Cole, the corporate millionaire and the perpetually levelheaded Morgan Freeman as Carter Chambers, the scholarly mechanic. Rob Reiner directed the film.

I enjoyed Jack Nicholson's wildness and Morgan Freeman's love of family and learning. Each has a missing piece in their life the other is destined to fill. They travel and do what many of us dream of doing. The most important "to do" item in the end is love of family.

You will not want or be able to move for sometime after the movie ends. Your head will be spinning with thoughts about your own life's "bucket to do list." When your head stops spinning, go the movie's website where you can complete a Facebook Application and create your own list.

I would recommend the movie to all ages. Each of us has a different life timeline but the message is the same: live your dreams.
