Two strangers with terminal illnesses meet at a lecture on death and dying. They begin a relationship without realizing the other is sick. They act out their "bucket list" fantasies by sneaking into a movie theater, painting graffiti on the local water tower or hitching a ride on a freight train. Eventually the truth is revealed and they have to deal with the cold reality of death. Intriguing idea sunk by cliches of "disease of the week" made-for-tv conventions, although Peter Falk and Jill Clayburgh give it their best.
