THE BUCKET LIST

If you're as sentimental as I am, you should watch The Bucket List. In fact, maybe if you have gone through the death of a loved one, taken by cancer, then perhaps this isn't the best movie for you to be watching. While the story is one of human kindness in the friendship two men (Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson) strike up while in the hospital undergoing cancer treatment, it is also the story of how two men view the world from entirely different perspectives, and how they learn to view things from the other's eyes.

I admit, I cried at several parts of this movie. Having watched my own husband die with cancer just 3 short years ago, this story still hit home. But it was also joyful to watch these men complete the bucket list - in other words, the kick-the-bucket list of things to do before you die. Because Ed (Nicholson) was so rich, he could take Carter (Freeman) on a world tour of the things they both wanted to visit and experience before they died. Carter was an auto mechanic, but neither grease rags nor a gold chain made any difference in the end. Both men were subject to the same human emotions and the same sickness.

Travel across the world with them as they learn together and grow closer as friends. I really don't think you'll be disappointed in this 2007, PG-13 movie.
