The Bucket List

2007

Find the joy.

Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers are worlds apart. At a crossroads in their lives, they share a hospital room and discover they have two things in common: a desire to spend the time they have left doing everything they ever wanted to do and an unrealized need to come to terms with who they are. Together they embark on the road trip of a lifetime, becoming friends along the way and learning to live life to the fullest, with insight and humor.

Review by issy 🥝

I just know when leonardo dicaprio grows old he’s gonna look exactly like jack nicholson. that’s not the only thing I took from this film it was very heartwarming and all but it’s an overwhelming thought
Review by Jizzmonkey ★★★ 4

If I had 6 months to live, the first item on my bucket list would be to shoot the piano player determined to play sappy elevator music in the background. Second after that would be - presuming I have full function of my man instrument - a Caligula-inspired orgy, replete with hungry supermodels and athletic sailors just back to port after three months at sea. Third, seeing as this movie has given me a new best friend who just happens to be a billionaire, I'd try out some of that space tourism still in its infancy but certainly viable, also including the supermodels and sailors for this item too. My fourth item I will only mention in passing because commandeering…
Review by {Todd} ★ 7

"This... was supposed to be fun." -Edward,
Old.
This is not a comedy, it's a depressing atrocity. It's old man wisdom porn mixed with a heaping dollop of morose reflection. I wanted to see men doing tons of cool stuff and living life to the fullest and I got that for like ten minutes and then spent most of my time in a hospital being sad.
Recommended to old people who want to think about dying.
Review by Rafael "Parker!!" Jovine ★★★ 6

Starring: My Name is Morgan Freeman
Two titans of acting are having a good time/vacation as they pretend to kick the bucket. Freeman and Nicholson’s chemistry is pretty good and definitely makes for a lot of the fun of the movie, especially their banter. The humor was alright; the gag with the glasses seemed like something out of a Happy Maddison’s movie. The music was really good—a little too manipulative, but it got the job done.
All in all, it is far from being the best of anyone in the cast, but again, it does a good job delivering on its premise and entertaining you.

Review by Wesley Stenzel ★★★ 2

Looks and feels like a midbudget TV episode (with some hilariously shoddy CGI and cheap production design), and the premise is a Republican’s wet dream — a billionaire private medicine mogul and his new best friend, a working-class Black man who pulls himself up by his bootstraps, go on one of the most extravagant vacations ever committed to film. But, despite the clunky plot, Nicholson and Freeman actually commit to the bit (I can’t remember seeing Jack cry in a movie before), and their charisma is off the charts. Their consistently witty, occasionally profound dialogue gives each scene a genuine sense of warmth and sweetness, and that’s more than enough to make this a worthwhile watch if you like the leads.
Review by Mikael Stånggren ★★★★ 4

One thing became very evident with this film: Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman sure aren't no spring chickens anymore. Luckily though, these two legends have lost none of their masterful acting potency and are as great and gung-ho as ever.
Their two characters, which stand at the center of this story, are incredibly funny, charming and well-written roles and I had a really good time watching them together on screen.
This movie is much like one of those good ol' buddy comedies they made so frequently during the 90's, although with a lot more heart, soul and dignity. Because not only is it very enjoyable, but it also has a lot to teach about life and what makes it worth…
Review by Florin Scanlon ★★★½ 3

It's melodramatic and cheesy and cliched and preachy. And I mean it. But it's also funny and fun and very watchable and dare I say it, heart warming. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are great in the lead roles, playing two terminally ill men who decide to tick off every point on their wish list before they meet their end. Nicholson is very amusing and provides most of the laughs, he's very energetic as an arrogant billionaire who doesn't care for anyone except himself and his precious Kopi Luwak coffee. Freeman is the meeker one, the family guy who is pleased with little and looks at life differently. Basically Nicholson and Freeman play the roles they played for most of…
Review by Nikhil Das ★★★

Movies like these make me cry like how these people(ofcourse they are fictional) live their life to the fullest on their death's door and yet me here contemplating on the ways to end it. I used to maintain a bucketlist sort of but I gave up on it at some point. Despite the cliches, The movie was alright, gets wholesome at times but also melodramatic too and the visuals are mediocre. But there's something magical about Morgan Freeman's narration.
Review by Edgar Cochran ✝️ ★★½ 6

To think that a man like Rob Reiner could take a concept as serious as a terminal illness, treat it superficially and idealistically, grab two big Hollywood names, grant them a lot of money to explore the world, and pass it as inspiring, is seriously disturbing. Sure, it does have its cute moments, but once that you think about it, it's quite immature and manipulative, despite the good chemistry between the two leads and the entertainment value of it all. It treats very childishly something that is downright serious.
55/100
