We haven't seen it yet, but it has stirred a few conversations about what's on your bucket list.

So, whats on your bucket list?

Here is some of mine:

-Go to Scotland and visit the places my Grandparents lived (Stirling area).
-Visit every state in the US. I have about 25 to go.
-White water raft down through the Grand Canyon
-Spend a winter in Alaska.
-Go to my Granddaughters wedding
-Go to the places that Monnet painted.

I haven't seen it because I know I'll bawl nearly the entire movie, so I prefer to do that in the comfort of my own home

. I'll probably rent it when it comes out on dvd!

Rudys Mom · 01-12-2008, 08:15 PM

I really want to see it. I'm glad to hear your good review because in our local paper there was a review that only gave the move "one star". Which ment it wasn't very good. Sounds like it's a four star movie.

I most definitely have to agree with you.
We saw it last weekend and I cried like a baby. Immediately I knew I had to see this. I mean you're talking about the amazing and unstoppable Morgan Freeman, a terrific actor, and the unbelievable, infamous and cool as heck Jack Nicholson together.

The acting and interactions between Nicholson and Freeman were truly amazing. And that is exactly what makes this good -- seeing them together.

The story is good, it's decent and fun and touching at times but it's formulaic but SO enjoyable. Let's not forget that the director was Rob Reiner and he is so good.

I hope this does not spoil the film for you, if so, then STOP reading now.

Morgan Freeman plays blue collar mechanic Carter Chambers who is given months to live. He is a trivia buff. He was forced to drop out of college when his wife got pregnant. However, he remembers one professor giving the class an assignment -- to make a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket". And he decides now is the time to do it, considering the doctor's prognosis.

Jack Nicholson is the rich and powerful Edward Cole who is cut down to size when he too is given months to live.

Sean Hayes (yes, from Will & Grace) is also very good in the role of Cole's right hand man. The scenes with him and Nicholson are classic and hilarious. Unfortunately since the main characters don't get a lot of depth -- his character gets even less.

It's still a cute movie with a lot of fun moments with two amazing actors and it's a feel good movie despite the dark undertone of the two of them being terminally ill.

You'll leave the theater feeling good for having seen this movie. While dabbing your eyes with the tissues i recommend you bring.

I may not have given you too much info since you can see the funny parts in the trailer and if you see enough trailers by the time those parts come up -- it's almost like you've seen it before.

I definitely recommend it. A+

I haven't seen the movie, but it looks good...and two great actors too...BUT the reviews on it (that I have seen) hasn't been good though...I don't know why?!

Have you seen it yet? What did you think?
