Product Description
Two terminally ill men with nothing in common except that they share a room in a cancer ward decide make a list of things they always wanted to do and
Amazon.com
"You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you," says the quietly wise Carter Chambers, played with gravitas and grace by a Morgan Freeman. In Rob Reiner's moving, often hilarious film The Bucket List, all sorts of people measure themselves against the two heroes, Chambers and his hospital suitemate, Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson). But as Cole finds, having spent his entire life building a Fortune 500 company, none of that much matters when cancer, the great equalizer, pays a visit. The film traces the adventures of the two unlikely friends, who meet in a hospital cancer ward, each given six months to live. The "bucket list" of the title refers to a lifelong list of goals that a teacher of Chambers once advised him to compile--and achieve--"before you kick the bucket." Soon the two are off on what may be the last grand adventure of their life, vowing to tick off as many goals (skydiving, race-car driving, seeing the wonders of the world) as they can in the time they have left. What starts as a medical melodrama becomes a road trip, yet the men's mortality realities are never far from thought. The two leads give impressive performances, and remind the viewer of just how few American films focus on the lives and loves of senior citizens. Nicholson even manages to lose his persona in his character, much as he did in About Schmidt. There's a lovely John Mayer tune, "Say (What You Need to Say)," that's perfectly matched to the film's clear-eyed view of life: What does one person leave behind as his true legacy? --A.T. Hurley

 Six Months to Live August 25, 2010
JoeMissionx34
If you had six months to live, what would you do? You get a pen and paper and write all the things down that you always wanted to do and then you do them. This is the bascis of this movie, with two great performaces and the question of - How do you measure a man's life. Great movie, spoiled with an f word.
Wake up call. August 18, 2010

I loved it because we should all need a bucket list. Life is short and we have to enjoy it. This movie reminds us of this.
Great movie August 7, 2010

I got this because my husband and I are not spring chickens any more and maybe we need to start thinking about our bucket list. This movie was entertaining and thought provocking. The guys were wonderful.
What a great movie. August 4, 2010
Just Terry (San Bruno, CA)
This was a delightful movie. The story was moving and the actors were excellent, but then, what else can you expect from two such talented stars. I would recommend this movie.
 Excellent movie July 28, 2010
Edward L. Williamson (Pensacola, FL)
I had heard of this movie from a friend with severe health problems. I found the movie very worthwhile. It suggests, without actually saying it, we should all prepare a 'bucket list' before we are in ill health--and act on the items in the list. When people interact with constructive intent, much good will result to all parties involved. The message was touching and timely.
