Honest Review of The Life List

I found the movie to be really insightful. The message inspired me to create my own life list. Though I feel they could have left out her dating the first two guys because honestly, I forgot about them halfway through. Being involved in three relationships in such a short time was a bit rushed. I think she should have just started off single and continued to have a slow-burning relationship with her lawyer. The rest of the time could have been spent showing her checking things off her list. At a certain point, the list items were flown through, and we only saw a few second clips of her completing those things it would have been more interesting. Overall good movie I definitely recommend.
