The Bucket List

So this past weekend my parents came to town for Father's Day. However, they did not arrive in SC until Saturday. Mike worked Friday night until 9 and then rented a movie, The Bucket List. It stars Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. The story is about two older men that have just been given a short time to live. They meet in the hospital after numerous sessions of radiation they come up with an idea of a "Bucket List" or things they would like to do before they "kick the bucket." There are some fun things like sky diving and my favorite, "Witness something truly majestic." I had seen previews for this movie and definitely wanted to see it, however the previews only showed the funny parts. So I was thinking of Queen Latifah's Last Holiday which was just a corny little movie where she finds out in the end that her results go mixed up. Anyways, little did I know, or think it would be such a tear jerker. I am not one to cry a lot, I rarely cry at movies, and if I do it is probably because an animal has died, not a human. This movie is an amazing story of friendship and makes you hope that everyone out there has a friend like they found in each other. I know the reviews were not good, and I hate to cry, but it truly was such a touching movie. I would recommend it, just make sure you have a box of tissues, because yes you will cry, but smile simultaneously.
