I watched this movie last night and besides the laughs I was quite moved by it.  I really began to weep during the scene where Jack Nicholson was in the bathroom vomiting after his surgery.  I could only think of my daughter's granny and everything she will have to go through just to maintain.  She is bleeding heavily internally and will most likely need to have the tumor removed from her stomach.  This will not, however, lengthen her life, only prevent her from needing more blood transfusions and hopefully prevent any complications associated with this.
The prognosis as it stands is grim, much like it was for Morgan Freeman's character in the movie.  I think because of all the changes and turmoil that we have experienced in the past months I am so much more emotional and I just feel for those that cannot help their situation.   I hate seeing a friend I love and care for losing her mother, and watching my daughter go through the uncertainty of her grandmother's health and my daughter's own life.  The rest I feel can go to he**.  I know that sounds harsh, but I am just sick of selfish people who lash out on others because things aren't going their way. 
Dysfunctional "love" has hardened me.  Real life has softened my heart.  I feel nothing for the users and abusers, and cry for the sad and stricken.
The main premise of the movie was that these two men who had cancer decided to write a list of the things they wanted to do before they kicked the bucket (died, if you weren't certain what that meant).  It was a heartwarming and moving movie.  It makes you think about what you want to accomplish with your life while you still have the ability to do so.
There were funny parts in this movie also, so yes, it is entertaining.  Morgan Freeman is an excellent actor, and who doesn't love Jack?  I was struck by the fact that Nicholson was heavier than his usual trim self and handsome self and seemed very "human" in the movie, not as an actor portraying a character.
I encourage you to watch "The Bucket List" if you have not done so yet.  It is good for a laugh, and good for a good cry too.  I think all of us can use both sometimes.
