Movie Reviews of The Bucket List
Movie Review: Makes you think
Summary: 5 Stars
As most people know The Bucket List, is a movie about preparing what you would like to do before you die. However, regular day-to-day stuff usually gets in the way and for some reason we always think there will be time to do it later. We put off that vacation to save money; plan things we'll do with our kids but the kids grow up and this is a great reminder of taking one day at a time. This isn't a movie that I expected to enjoy, however I really did like it. The movie is interesting - enjoyed all the triva that Morgan Freeman knew in his role. It showed that you should never judge a book by it's cover. Life takes us down different, unexpected roads more times than not and we seldom take the time to find out about a person before we label them. Sometimes you have to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. More than anything this movie made me think and made me look at each day differently. A very entertaining way to teach us all a lesson. I haven't made a "bucket list" but I have learned to appreaciate each day and realize what is really important in my life.Movie Review: The Bucket List should be in everyone's DVD collection
Summary: 5 Stars
Great 'must see' movie! Before watching this with me, my 13-year-old son said "But this is an old people's movie"; his mind quickly changed when this DVD filled our TV screen. Edward (Nicholson) and Carter (Freeman) are cancer patients sharing a hospital room when they both get the news that they each have only six months to a year to live. Although the movie shows how these men choose to cope with death, the theme is definitely living life to the fullest and finding joy along the way.
The two write a 'Bucket List' of things they want to do before they kick the bucket. It includes things like getting a tattoo and kissing the most beautiful girl in the world. Both actor shine in this movie, so much so that I'd place a hefty cash bet on this winning some serious awards.
By the way, my son liked this movie as much as I did and has learned not to judge the content of a movie by the age of the actors appearing in it! I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone with eyes in their head.
Movie Review: Poignant And Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is part comedy and part drama and all top notch. It has something for everyone.
'The Bucket List' features Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman). These two great actors do not disappoint. Both Cole (a wealthy curmudgeon) and Chambers (a family oriented auto mechanic) have terminal cancer and are given but a few months to live.
This unlikely pair become great friends throughout the movie. They begin developing a 'bucket list' - items that they have always wanted to do before their deaths. The roster of 'to do' items includes such things as skydiving, driving race cars, visiting the Great Wall of China, laughing until you cry, and viewing something truly majestic.
Due to Cole's unlimited financial resources, they are able to fund their dreams. They also come to realize what things are really important.
There are many funny parts along with the somber ones. I think it is well worth watching. I recommend it.
Movie Review: Fantastic Movie -- Not So Good Production of DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I realize that this formum might not be the appropriate one for this type of product review, but I was unable to find another link. As the title of the review shows, my wife and I loved this film/story; as senior citizens we found it quite enlightening. Our problem relates solely to the production of the DVD itself. At first, I thought the DVD was sold by one of Amazon.com's business partners, but according to the order, it was sold by Amazon. We found two main problems with the DVD. First, the actual DVD disk has no imprint that displays the name of the DVD or anything about the film. It is simply a blank DVD -- blank on top and, of course, blank on the actual playing side. This is the first time we have purchased a DVD that did not contain some type of imprint on the top face of it. Second, we had to sit through several minutes of previews before reaching the part of the DVD that allows the viewer to select play, language, etc. We don't care to spend upwards of $10 to watch previews.Movie Review: Ought To Be Required For Everyone Over Age 40
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit up front I am a big fan of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. That said, this was a quality movie about the serious topic of mortality, death,and related things.
The movie had a few sobering moments, granted. But the movie as a whole was funny, very sensitive and heart warming, and Nicholson and Freeman complemented the other in delivering strong performances. The script was well done and the movie pace was quite good, considering what is a rather serious subject matter and in the star's cases, a serious situation.
I recommend it to people who are healthy in particular. We take good health for granted until we find out we have something wrong that stirs us into action or perhaps puts us in the hospital. This movie addresses the lighter side of living life to its fullest and also making the most of what time we do have left, even if we might not have as much as we would like. A well done movie that is for the most part, funny and highly entertaining.
