List, The
Todd McCarthyThe Bucket List is a feel-good film about death, a sitcom about mortality, "Ikiru" for meatheads. It's also a picture about two cancer patients confronting reality, and deciding how they want to spend their presumed last days, that has not an ounce of reality about it. For all these reasons, along with the star power of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, this refitting of the grumpy old men genre stands a good chance of becoming director Rob Reiner's first hit since the mid-'90s, even though its prevailing sensibility will eventually make it look more at home on small screens.
In Reiner's world, the opening scene showing auto mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman) smoking a cigarette signals that the genial fellow is headed straight to the grave. But the...
True actors
A beautiful film brilliantly acted.
An emotional ride of the lives of two dying men coming to grips with the end of their lives. Freeman and Nicholson gel together so well as they form a friendship which will leave you with tears in your eyes and a smile on your face.
Wonderfully emotional ride!
Two men who realise their own mortality, and with only months left to live, plan out their 'Bucket List' of things to do before they die. In the hands of a lesser cast and crew, this could have just been yet-another-sugary-syrup-weepy film. However here, with the presence of Nicholson and Freeman, the film offers the expected emotions, but plenty of chuckles as the pair bicker, banter, and live out their dreams. A really well made film which shows us all what life is really all about, The Bucket List is a pleasing 90 minutes of viewing recommended to anyone.

The Bucket List arrives on Christmas Day to remind us to live life to its fullest and leave no clich?? unturned. And while most of us would confess to not exactly seizing each day as if it is our last, another cloying reminder from Hollywood is probably not going to make any more of a difference than an afternoon spent on the couch with Dr. Phil and Oprah.
A travelogue of triteness that demands alliteration to describe it, the movie is clearly aimed at fading boomers with its story of two older men with terminal medical conditions. Its watchability almost entirely depends on your tolerance of Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson doing the things that made them stars and won them Oscars, only much more so.
We meet Freeman doing a voice of God...
Bucket List, The
Edward Cole (Nicholson) is an self-assertive, surly businessman. Carter Chambers (Freeman) is a dignified, well-informed car mechanic. Both comprise cancer, which throws them together in a sanitarium owned by Edward. "I lack my own live! It's my convalescent home!" demands Edward, but as his personal friend Tom (Hayes) reminds him, he's built the reputation of his private healthcare establishments on determined values, distinctly "two beds for every room, no exceptions". So he has to lump it. In spite of that, notwithstanding Edward's inaugural misgivings about sharing the extent with a prole, the two men treaty to the ground being old, having chemo and vomiting from the treatment. As they get to be sure one another, we learn more about their lives. Edward has...
