Just sayin: Rob Reiner: Well, yes oddly enough when we were doing the press junket for “The Bucket List” everybody would ask us, whats on your bucket list? Whenever they asked Jack Nicholson that question he would say one more great romance, and that gave us the idea for this film. We thought it’s a perfect extension for the theme of “The Bucket List” which is, you live your life until it’s over, and if you’re lucky enough to find somebody later on in life and fall in love, don’t turn your back on it. FOX411: Love later in life -- how do you feel it differs? Reiner: I think it differs in that theres more at stake. You know whats involved in falling in love. You know the pain that you might go through in either having it not work out, or going through a divorce, or a death. In the case of “And So It Goes” Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton’s characters both have lost their spouses. So you know whats involved there. The stakes are just a lot higher. FOX411: It also addresses second chances across the board. Reiner: The main overarching theme is dont give up, dont give up on life. As long as youre alive, you have an opportunity to make good on relationships, on your work… were living a lot longer now and with medical science advancing well have a hard time getting outta here... but you know, people are having second and third careers. So dont just say at age 65, I give up. Find things that are interesting to you. Its all about the doing.
