The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

When a movie gives you all the elements, and at end gives you what I phrase as 'a positive balance' you leave with satisfaction and excitement. This is what 'The Bucket List' does. The story is how two cancer patients create a "To Do" list which they want to fulfill, before dying. The factor of suffering from cancer doesn't hurt much as the patients are already old.In the run our two buddies learn from each other and an exciting feel-good-drama unfurls. The two buddies are aces of their own world. It is one of the movies, where words simply cannot define its elegance. You have to watch it to know its greatness.
