Dinner & Movie Review - Life List

***Watch the MOVIE on NETFLIX on your own Schedule and then MEET for DINNER AND DISCUSSION ***

This will be the equivalent of a Book Club, only Movie related. We will independently watch The Life List - a movie that was on the TOP LIST for 5 consectutive weeks. It is a movie that most of us can relate to on some level. Then we will get together for an affordable dinner at PHO SUPER BOWL (across the street from Burquitlam Station) for a discussion or to review the movie. This is a casual place, allowing everyone to choose to eat a meal or just have an appy, or Bahn Mi.

About the Movie: The Life List
(2025) is considered a sentimental, emotional, and heartwarming film rather than just sad. While it explores themes of grief, loss, and a mother's dying wishes, it is designed to be a feel-good, uplifting story about finding oneself, with some viewers finding it to be a relaxing, yet profound experience.

Key Details About the Tone:

• Emotional Core: The story centers on a young woman fulfilling her deceased mother's bucket list, which brings emotional, tear-jerking scenes.
• Heartwarming Journey: Rather than dwelling on sadness, the movie focuses on the positive, transformative journey of the main character, Alex.
• Mixed Feelings: Some viewers described the trailer as "mellow" or a bit sad, but the consensus is that it functions as a romantic, coming-of-age story.
• Impact: Some viewers reported that the film’s themes of personal growth were quite moving and encouraged self-reflection.

The film, based on a book by Lori Nelson Spielman and starring Sofia Carson, is ultimately about embracing life and finding joy, even after loss.
