'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

Rating:  - Wonderful Movie
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are the stars in a comedy / drama "The Bucket List,". It was directed by Rob Reiner.
I loved this movie! It is a touching story that shows that it's never too late to live life to its fullest. It was funny and at times sad, I hope it will make you stop and think about your own life.

Rating: - A moving movie
One of my friends reccommended this movie on a movie night. I was not familiar with the title, but decided to give it a go anyway. The movie was quite moving, and a tear jerker at that. It had some funny portions as well as thought provoking. I would not reccommend this movie for date night, but definitely for a girls night. The cast was awesome and excellent for such a movie!
Rating: - Everyone should have a bucket list
This movie brought tears to my eyes. It was wonderfully performed by the one and only Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The story is about two men, Edward, a rich businessman, and Carter, a mechanic. Both men have cancer and are roommates in the hospital. Thinking they will die, they go on a trip around the world trying to fulfill Carter's (Freeman) bucket list: A list of things to do before you kick the bucket (aka die). Throughout the movie, the men deal with their fears, families and foster a ... Read More
Rating: - Thoughtful, touching, immensly enjoyable and very memorable
I will admit, I did hesitate to watch this movie given all the hype and publicity. I finally broke down and rented it and I'm so glad I did.
I've read some other reviews and agree with some of them.
But, what I got out of this movie goes a lot deeper.
This movie speaks to me of the ties in human nature. The ties to family, to our work, our identity, our ideals, our religion and even to strangers. There are countless ties that bind us each and every moment of every day. How tight ... Read More
