Movie Review: Bucket List (2007)

Gosh, I really enjoyed this film.  Stars are great – Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.  With those names alone, I was drawn to it without even knowing the plot.  But the plot was interesting too (2 men diagnosed with terminal cancer, draw up a ‘bucket list’ of things they would like to accomplish before they die).  And the 2 characters – of course near opposite personality types – set each other off well.  Morgan plays the more conservative, middle class guy, while Nicholson (of course) plays the rich, obnoxious, eccentric one.

Okay, and I gotta find a weak moment to the film.  I always find something to pick at, the critic that I am (of myself too).  It was the scene where Freeman’s character gets picked up by a very attractive woman, who apparently is a call girl hired by his friend, played by Nicholson.  It was too obvious.

But we really enjoyed this one.  Gave it an 8 out of 10.
