"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

Not great but.... August 29, 2008
Two fine old actors doing their thing. Not a great movie but a good way to spend an hour and a half. My wife and I enjoyed it. Not sure it really required Blu Ray but they were having a sale so what the heck.

 A great movie that moves you and than lifts you with understanding. August 27, 2008
This movie was something I had absolutely no knowledge of. My sister said you must see this movie. Which I not only saw, I had to purchase this very precious movie. If you haven't seen the movie, treat yourself with someone you care about and see the Bucketlist. These two men had cancer but it is in no way morbid. It's not about the things they couldn't do but the things they could.
A Great Movie August 25, 2008
This is truly a stupendous movie; everyone should watch this (especially those of us over 40). My husband and I both enjoyed this immensely and anyone that does not watch this is really missing out on a valuable lesson.
Very Entertaining August 21, 2008
I enjoyed this movie, the acting was great and the story line was very well done.
