Plot: Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star as two terminally ill cancer patients who decide to break out of the hospital and live their last days to the fullest in director Rob Reiner's seriocomic road movie. Edward Cole (Nicholson) is a corporate billionaire who is currently sharing a hospital room with blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman). Though initially the pair seems to have nothing in common, conversation gradually reveals that both men have a long list of goals they wish to accomplish before they kick the bucket, and an unrealized desire to discover what kind of men they really are. But one can't accomplish such lofty objectives from the confines of a hospital bed, so now, in order to live their lives to the absolute fullest, Edward and Carter will have to make a break for it. With a checklist that includes playing the poker tables in Monte Carlo, consuming copious amounts of caviar, racing the fastest machines on four wheels, and much more, these two terminally ill men will do their best to fit a lifetime of experience into their last remaining days while forging an unlikely, but truly remarkable, friendship. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I admit up front I am a big fan of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. That said, this was a quality movie about the serious topic of mortality, death,and related things.

The movie had a few sobering moments, granted. But the movie as a whole was funny, very sensitive and heart warming, and Nicholson and Freeman complemented the other in delivering strong performances. The script was well done and the movie pace was quite good, considering what is a rather serious subject matter and in the star's cases, a serious situation.

I recommend it to people who are healthy in particular. We take good health for granted until we find out we have something wrong that stirs us into action or perhaps puts us in the hospital. This movie addresses the lighter side of living life to its fullest and also making the most of what time we do have left, even if we might not have as much as we would like. A well done movie that is for the most part, funny and highly entertaining.

Good movie- Sad but funny too!

This is a good movie - I like Nicholson and Freeman together. It is sad in alot of ways - deep in meaning - but it is a good movie at the ending for what it is and for what it is about. There is comedy in most of this - but it is a deep movie all the same. I liked it - bought it for my mother.

Makes you think
Added 9/10/2009

As most people know The Bucket List, is a movie about preparing what you would like to do before you die. However, regular day-to-day stuff usually gets in the way and for some reason we always think there will be time to do it later. We put off that vacation to save money; plan things we'll do with our kids but the kids grow up and this is a great reminder of taking one day at a time. This isn't a movie that I expected to enjoy, however I really did like it. The movie is interesting - enjoyed all the triva that Morgan Freeman knew in his role. It showed that you should never judge a book by it's cover. Life takes us down different, unexpected roads more times than not and we seldom take the time to find out about a person before we label them. Sometimes you have to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. More than anything this movie made me think and made me look at each day differently. A very entertaining way to teach us all a lesson. I haven't made a "bucket list" but I have learned to appreaciate each day and realize what is really important in my life.

Smell the roses

I survived cancer in 2006 and this movie helped me focus on what is good in life and what I need to do to enjoy more than what I already had. Great movie and now I'm enjoying my life to fullest. Arriverderci.
