Movie Review No. 2: The Bucket List

Edward Cole is a billionaire. Carter Chambers is a mechanic. So when they both become diagnosed with terminal cancer and they share the same hospital room, they become great friends, with an urge to live their last months alive doing the things they've always wanted. Together they make a 'Bucket List' of everything they want to do, from witness something magnificent to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. Helping each other, they finally complete the list

Just to say, this was NOT my choice of movie. It's not really the type of thing i like. But Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman both played these parts really well; they got into their character, and it worked. However, the movie took a while to get going and I wished it spent a bit more time on the actual things they did on the list. The movie only really focused on a couple of things from the list that meant it was a bit slow. Anyway though, it was a nice movie to watch (but it was in the comedy section, and this is the least comedy movie, more like drama). So it gets an average rating from me.

  1. Oh, I do love Morgan Freeman, I think he's a great actor. And in this movie I even tolerated Jack Nicholson. :)

    I agree it's not so much comedy, but it's still nice to see, specially if it's on TV.
