"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

One of the best movies I've seen.
There are lots of movies that I love, that still wouldn't make it to my "Favorites" list. It is reserved for such mixed, and special fare as "Casa Blanca", "To Kill A Mockingbird", and (yes) "K-Pax". "Bucket List" has become it's newest addition.

Even if you hated one (or even all) of these, there's still a good chance you'll love Bucket List. This movie is full of beautiful scenery, hilarity, and true friendship - complete with very real life-questions, and great honesty. While the situation is not a common one, the characters, their problems, hurts, and joys ring very true.

The old "You'll laugh. You'll cry." fits well, in this case, but you're pretty sure to laugh a lot more than you cry. You'll also find yourself recalling, and probably quoting lines from it for months to come.

Even the last line of the film is memorable, and funny, and a perfect fit with everything that went before. This is one movie that is everything that was claimed for it, and much more.

I've already loaned my copy to several friends, and they all loved it. 'WELL worth the price!

Fantastic.
This is one of the best movies in a long time and to see Nicholson and Morgan together on screen can't be beat. The story is tuching, funny and filled with appropriate humor. I saw it on the big screen initially and to own it. It is the first movie I'd been to in years that the entire theatre audience clapped at the end.

This movie doesn't do well with its previews, but read the reviews and see it for yourself.

Touching and Sweet- reach for the hankies!
I really thought (based on the previews) this movie was going to be so funny. Two great comedic actors managed to pull off a very touching and realistic look at life and death. There was an appropriate amount of humor, particularly between Jack Nicholson's character and his assistant (Will & Grace's Jack). It took a while for the movie to really get going which is why I only gave it four stars. I assumed the movie would be centered on the bucket list...but it took a long time to lead up to it.
