| Synopsis:
Academy Award winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star in the comedic drama The Bucket List, directed by Rob Reiner, a touching, no-holds-barred adventure that shows it’s never too late to live life to its fullest. Carter and Edward found themselves sharing a hospital room with plenty of time to think about what might happen next—and about how much of that was in their hands. For all their apparent differences, they soon discovered they had two very important things in common: an unrealized need to come to terms with who they were and the choices they’d made, and a pressing desire to spend the time they had left doing everything they ever wanted to do. |

 Pleasantly Surprised! September 6, 2008
Elinor Dandrea (Livingston Manor, NY)
As someone who had prejudged this movie, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Having watched the TV clip,I thought it would be a movie that was contrived to make these two actors look good. With what I thought would be expected laughs with little substance. Boy was I wrong!
To my surprise, it was the good Zen, lack of Zen cop, done with great humor,fun, sentiment and as in life, a surprise at its end:)
Your Company's Bucket List September 1, 2008

Carl Bard said, "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
Many friends and colleagues have congratulated me on my good timing when my book, Mastering The Management Buckets: 20 Critical Competencies for Leading Your Business or Non-profit, appeared this year just after the release of the movie, The Buckets List. No credit taken, but it does come up often in radio interviews.
The hilarious movie, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, captures the poignant final six months of two cancer patients. Tossing caution to the wind (sky diving, race-car driving, etc.), they embark on a global journey--knocking off a daring list of adventures before they "kick the bucket."
Suggestion: buy the DVD, find an appropriate film clip, and energize a future staff meeting at work with some bucket list questions for your organization. Example:
1) In groups of three, after you've shared one item from your personal bucket list, suggest two or three bucket list goals for our organization. 2) Some call it a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) but let's call it the Numero Uno Bucket List Goal today. If we knew that our company or organization was going out of business (kicking the bucket) in the next three years, what is the most important goal we would want to achieve by the end of 2011?
Here's your chance to turn a boring staff meeting into a memorable strategic planning session for your team or department. P.S. Serve popcorn.
It touches your soul August 29, 2008

Sometimes in life we feel disconnected because 'life' gets us down and out in various way. None of us are happy all the time nor sad all the time. Most of us can find the middle ground and make the most of it.
The Bucket List is a wonderful movie that touches your soul. The movie through these actors seduce you into their lives for two hours.
Our family jokes that Jack's portrayal in the movie is probably not too far off from reality for him sans the cancer.
The serenity, love of life and acceptance of destiny are embraced.
If you have not seen it, you should. If you do not own a copy, buy it.
Life is too short for you not to get your affairs in order.
Beware, this movie will drive you to create your own 'bucket list' and begin to live through it - I did!
Not great but.... August 29, 2008
Harrison A. Schaffhauser (Tampa, Fl United States)
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.
