The Bucket List is about a couple of ederly men, Edward (Jack Nicholson) and Carter (Morgan Freeman) who meet each other in the hospital. They share the same room for about a month when they both find out that they have 6 months to a year to live. After surgeries, chemo-therapy, and many experiments, Carter starts a list called the bucket list…things you want to do before you kick the bucket.

This movie is such a great movie because not only does it have a good plot, but it also has meaning to it. The meaning that I understood was to live life to the fullest because life is so fast that before you know it, it’s time to kick the bucket. I think that Nicholson and Freeman were such a good team in this movie and balanced each other out so well as Nicholson played the spunky wisenheimer while Freeman was the laid back logical thinker of the two.

Although it was a tear jerker, it’s also one that makes you think and appreciate life. I would definitely recommend this movie!!
