Corprate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find the joy in life.
| Straight from central casting: a rich "soulless" man - Jack Nicholson; check. A blue-collar virtuous wise - Morgan Freeman; check. A crisis meeting of the - terminal cancer check. Rich man virtuous man shows the way to enjoy life; check. The virtuous man blue collar shows the rich man of his way to enjoy life; check. Blue-collar man virtuous rich man defies the past to resolve conflicts in family, rich man "can not do it, check. Virtuoso blue collar man returning from adventures, finds his family to be happier in life; check. Back rich adventures, finds his life empty check. Virtuoso blue collar man takes a turn for the worst, he returns to wealthy, hires a "best doctor"; check. After the death of the blue-collar virtuous man, rich in fact offers "deep" and "sincere" praise (give me a break, I'm going to throw up) and then track their desire to die and resolves conflicts in the past Hallmark card scene checking. This is meaningless fluff. A great hire, but completely lack originality and Rob Reiner as other recent films, totally underrated the intelligence of the audience. |
| A friend took me to see "The Bucket List" tonight (usually it's the opposite, I take you to the movies that I see). As much as I love Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, I was not excited about this ... sounds really cheesy, and the reviews were not good at all (not to say I think in most of the critics, but when I am particularly curious about a Bucket List, The movie and comments are mostly negative, it is likely that I will skip it). It turned out pretty good, actually ... we have all seen movies about people who are only one time out left and make a list of things to do before you die (Isabel Coixet, "My Life Without Me" with Sarah Polley, is my favorite of them), and "The Bucket List" is not original or innovative at all, but Nicholson and Freeman alone are worth seeing. SAPPY not like most movies about terminal patients, and is quite entertaining. And although it is not intended to be serious or exciting, death is always a sensitive issue, and this Bucket List, The movie can think about how you spend your time: months ago, I was discussing with a friend this way, in movies, only people living to boot up when it comes to knowing you're about to die. That is something that everyone should think about: to die, just to be alive, so we should all enjoy the latest instead of worrying so much about the future, because, unfortunately, there is no such thing as life guarantee. For his humor and tenderness, "The Bucket List" deserves an 7.5/10 from me. |
| Usually, I am not in this type of film, but with the casting of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman I had to see. I'm very glad I decided to give this a try. The story is fairly predictable, but still enjoy. No matter how the story is impossible because it is a great Bucket List, The Drama about friendship - how two men become great friends in a short time and help each other through time are together. It moves along at a good pace and I never get bored, so the writer gets credit for that. The first class was acting like Nicholson and Freeman bring the right emotion in the audience at the right time. The emotional part is fair, but funny scenes are the best. I laughed throughout the DivX film Bucket List, The but not as much as I do in a real DivX film Bucket List, The comedy, but the comic scenes in this one really work and Nicholson is the "main man" in them. It has a message at the end about how to live her life to the fullest, how your family is important, and how you should be happy in life and the message that gives the Bucket List, The movie perfectly. Other than the predictable story and some kind of dialogue, the Bucket List, The Drama film is great. I would recommend to anyone looking for a feel good movie. 8 / 10 |

| The quiet mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) is a man with a great culture, has been married for forty-five years with his beloved wife Virginia (Beverly Todd) and has two children - a lawyer from another engineer - and a violinist daughter . The caustic and bitter billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) owns many hospitals, has a lot of divorces and a daughter missing. Following the policy of Edward, the hospital makes no exception to a private room with him and he shared the same room as Carter. Throughout the day, they become close to each other and when Edward is in the trash bucket list that Carter had prepared a list everything that I wanted to do before you die, including their own topics and invited Carter to journey of friendship, discovery and redemption. "The Bucket List" has a wonderful script, two actors and a story about the fantastic journey of two expected terminal cancer patients to find friendship, discovery and redemption. The contrast between the two characters provides moments of great beauty with witty dialogue alternating with spirit and fun and dramatic scenes. This is one of those films that bring happiness to the viewer in spite of the unpleasant subject - illness and death. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Before Start" ( "before leaving") |
| Take 2 big stars and actors, giving them a corny script, pretend you are dealing with existential philosophy, and then take the characters into a caricature of travel around the world, invading the screen with postal history, go to the disgustingly cursi melodramatic within 2 hours, and then end with a symbolic end of 8th grade. Also, having life issues and displayed in a cartoonish way and make sure you do so that even a delay would be. Write wooden dialogue and 2 other great players of his mannerisms use to the maximum, in order to cope with a weak and little script. Then, create 1-2-3-4 predictable scenes, and use one-dimensional characters, so as not to confuse the audience (God forbid), with "too" human complexity. We want to keep our loving wives, our children cute and innocent, our irritable and grumpy old man still affable and friendly. So after all, what do you get? Crap. |

| I am glad to catch this Bucket List, The Drama before the release date here in Canada, so I say to all my friends and family, and anyone who is likely to go see this movie. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman put on a great performance, playing two cancer patients who have only one year. Both decide to make a "Bucket List", a list of events that never succeeded in their lives. This list ranged from kissing the most beautiful woman in the world of the patches to the problems with his family. The proceedings of this DivX Movie Bucket List, The was phenomenal, but what this film: Bucket List, The was really the only writing. We have all seen movies with a similar plot, as in Queen Latifa going on holiday when all the money you live like a queen because she has only a few months of life. But instead of a list of the basin is unique because it is not complete this list made their last year worth living, is that the writers focused on the chemistry of these two men and how their increased friendship to complete this list. The witty dialogue, brilliant writing and great performance this movie: Bucket List, The really a post-Christmas. 9 / 10 |
