Movie Reviews of The Bucket List
Movie Review: The tale of two strangers,one an irreverent billionare, and the other a humble mechanic, both with 6 months to live
Summary: 5 Stars
*spoiler alert*
Nicholson and Freeman play two elderly men who meet when they unexpectedly find themselves sharing a hospital room, and as they battle cancer. At first Nicholson can't stand the sight of Freeman, but eventually regards him, and finally comes to like him. Freeman, on the other hand, can't understand Nicholson, yet befriends him. They spend dark days together as they battle cancer, going through chemotherapy and operations.
One night Freeman starts to scribble some things down on a piece of paper, which is then cast aside. Nicholson finds it and discovers that it's a bucket list...things to do before you kick the bucket. Seemingly on a whim they take off together to complete their bucket list. They come to know each other better as they trot the globe doing first one thing, and then another.
This an extremely heartwarming tale of friendship and mutual regard.
5 solid stars!
Movie Review: I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie just hoping for a good laugh and not really expecting much, but I was laughing my tail off throughout the entire movie. I am now an owner of this movie. Eventhough I am a younger guy than the target market for this movie it really is one of my all time favorites. In this movie Morgan Freeman (a poor mechanic) ends up sharing a room with the rich owner of the hospital (Jack Nicholson). They are stuck in this room together for weeks while going through certain horrible treatments. Eventhough they don't like eachother at first, they grow close durring their time together & create a bucket list - All the things they want to do before they die! Once they are out of the hospital, their hillarious journey starts. I don't want to ruin this movie for you but it was worth every penny and second I spent & I have watched this movie many times over... it never gets old. If you want to laugh, this is a GREAT movie.Movie Review: You might enter the theater with a closed head, but you'll leave it with an open heart.
Summary: 5 Stars
With strong performances from both Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, this movie will be a shoo-in for numerous awards. The drama never becomes melodramatic; the movie never drags on or drags you down. There is a pureness of heart and a beauty in the script. There is friendships between the two characters that clearly stems from the actors respect of each other. The script is well done, but so is the direction. The movie is as funny as it poignant, as philosophical as it is perpetual. The movie's message might not be all too different from many other movies - find the joy in your life, seek your family, enjoy your last days to the fullest. Yet, the message is delivered in a wonderful way. The movie relies on Jack Nicholson's performance (more of the same unlikable, filthy rich grumpy old man, we've become accustomed to), but the unsung hero is Morgan Freeman - he brings humanity and humility to the movie and to his character.Movie Review: I'm sorry you don't get it
Summary: 5 Stars
To all the people who gave this movie bad reviews; you don't get it.
My father had cancer a year ago and is now in remission and enjoying his life. This movie was NOT supposed to be funny. It is to help you take stock of your life. Make the best of your life, bring joy to someone else in life. I'm 42, not older like these men. But, this movie makes you realize that you should be a GOOD person in life. Enjoy your life, be kind to others, bring joy to others. Don't be a sourpuss. Appreciate things. Be thankful and grateful in this world. Be kind, be courteous. Life is too short to be a putz.
Enjoy the movie people and enjoy the life you have. If you don't like your life then change it. You have one life, and like they say in the movie; it is short.
"Don't worry, be happy"
Movie Review: Just sit back and enjoy
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bucket List is a very enjoyable movie. There are no hidden plots and no double meanings. It is simply the story of two men from very different backgrounds facing death from cancer. This common bond creates strange bed fellows as they share a time in their lives that others can't understand. They take a journey together and both come away changed for the better.
This movie has hilarious moments and sentimental moments that are a part of living and dying in real life. They are shown in realistic ways not candy coated or through Hollywood eyes.
I really enjoyed this movie and found it entertaining and not troubling as many deep movies are. This is not a shallow movie it just does not put guilt on the viewer.
Excellent performances by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
