the bucket list

also known as: the before you kick the bucket list

according to imdb.com: "Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find the joy in life."

someone who hasn't seen the movie would say: two old farts trying to regain their youth

but in truth: it is a funny, heart-warming, witty, and sad movie. sure, it is a fairy-tale. but who cares? no one looks that good when they are terminally ill. and since growing old is painful, why not watch a movie that makes it seem so much more fun?

both actors are brilliant. it's like perfect casting. enjoy the hospital ward scenes, they are easy, relaxed and funny. it's been quite a while since i left a cinema smiling. i know donald trump's not going to be on the bed next to mine in tan tock seng hospital next time, but if he is, at least i know what i'm gonna do!

verdict: watch it! i'd give it 4/5
