The Bucket List

[50/50 Adventure]

My son and I watched it tonight.

EXCELLENT movie, minimal language and awesome story line.

Had me tear up once or twice.

I'm afraid I have no idea what this movie is or is about... I'm a bit of a shut-in, forgive me. :o

I agree that this film has excellent moral value, and humor amongst the saddness. :)

After reading Roger Ebert's 1-star review, I decided to pass:

Nicholson is Edward, an enormously rich man of about 70, who has been diagnosed with cancer, given a year to live, and is sharing a room with Carter (Freeman), about the same age, same prognosis. Why does a billionaire not have a private room? Why, because Edward owns the hospital, and he has a policy that all patients must double up, so it would look bad if he didn't.

This is only one among countless details the movie gets wrong.

Doesn't Edward know that hospitals make lotsa profits by offering private rooms, "concierge service," etc.?
