2025 * PG-13 * 2h 3m I watch a lot of movies. And a majority of them are serious dramas. So every once in a while I like to see something that isn't quite as taxing, without being mindlessly stupid. This film falls easily into that category. It's fairly predictable, but the fine acting and decent script help make it a thoroughly enjoyable two hours.
Alex (Sofia Carson) is a young woman who works for her mother's very successful business. When her mom Elizabeth (Connie Britton) passes away, she leaves most of her belongings and her business to her two sons. Alex however has inherited something special. Her mom found a bucket list Alex wrote when she was 13-years old. On a DBD she makes for her daughter, Elizabeth tells her she has to do all the things on her list before she gets a her gift.
It's fun watching her pursue all her goals, and of course, as you'd expect, she finds love along the way. I thought it was a fun, entertaining movie. About the only negative comment is that it ran a bit long. I think they could easily have pared it down to an hour and forty-five minutes.
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
