The Bucket List — 

My mom and I went to this movie with no expectations.  I do not personally like Jack Nicholson, however, he is an extraordinary actor.  However, sometimes I feel he is given the "cranky old man" bits because his personality is that way for real.  It is difficult to see his dry humor throughout the movie.  I personally found that his attitude towards his personal assistance hard to take, and not at all funny.  Now, the story is a far-fetch from real life.  But, anything with Morgan Freeman in it is worth seeing just to see him!  Without ruining the whole movie for you, i will state that if you are in the mood for crying and laughing all in one movie, this is a good choice.  I think it may have hit my mom a little harder as she is nearing the age that the actors played. It is always difficult to address one's own mortality, and that is really what the whole movie is about, the journey through life, and there is always only one final ending... just a matter of time.
