Hmm…this is a tough one…the most emotion out of me came…probably from watching “The Bucket List” with my mom…I’m very sad the movie was received so poorly from a critical standpoint and…locking back I can see why since the whole setup relies on a conga line of conveniences that has less of a shot at happening in real life than winning the lottery…but the majority of the movie was focused on 2 very different yet bitter fathers that dreamed of being in the other ones shoes, and as the two spent time together one start to see that his dream life was not really all that great while starting to appreciating what he has as the other one comes to terms with his past in order to reach the life he desires…and the titled list was used beautify in ways I can’t describe without spoilering it…

But I’d be lying if I said me and mom don’t have respective daddy issues… so the movie…particularly the ending hit us both like a sac of bricks and made me cry for the first time in years...a feat I have yet to replicate.
