In THE BUCKET LIST, cancer doesn`t discriminate in its choice of victims. It`s equally eager in its attacks on kindly sage of a mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) and mean-spirited millionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson). When the unlikely pair shares a room at a hospital, they learn that they both have less than a year to live as a result of the deadly disease. Inspired by the words of a college professor, Carter begins to make a "bucket list" of things he wants to accomplish before he dies. With Edward`s limitless funds at their disposal, the men embark on an adventure that takes them from Egypt to France to Hong Kong, crossing items off their list as death grows closer.
Fans of the leading actors will be glad to see them in familiar territory: Freeman plays a narrator who`s nearly godlike in his omniscience, while Nicholson stars as the lovable grump. Both men have won Oscars for similar roles (Nicholson for AS GOOD AS IT GETS, and Freeman for MILLION DOLLAR BABY), so they excel in these parts. Director Rob Reiner`s career has jumped between comedy and drama, and despite its serious subject matter, THE BUCKET LIST resides firmly in comedic territory. But fans of weepies such as TERMS OF ENDEARMENT and MY LIFE will find much to like in this film that is sure to require a tissue or two.

This film is one that every adult or teenager over the age of 14 should see. It is very moving and funny and so REAL -- the actors are magnificent and it's an affirmation of life, while at the same time being a story of dignified death. I love this film and purchased 3 copies so that I could pass them on to my parents and aunt. Three cheers for the movie, and wait and listen carefully to the last song as the credits roll -- it will make you cry with the truth of it's words.
It is an excellant movie and I have made a list too.
Received the DVE in good condition, had to wipe it down before playing but after that it played just fine. I would recommend it to everyone that wants to see a great movie.
