The Bucket List (2007) 8/10

Starring : Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Sean Hayes, Beverly Todd
Director : Rob Reiner
Running Time : 98 mins

When Edward Cole (Nicholson) and Carter Chambers (Freeman) meet in hospital and are both diagnosed with cancer, given less than a year to live, they decide to team up together and go on a road trip, fulfilling all of the desires they wanted to achieve before they die, much to the disappointment of Carter’s wife Virginia (Todd) who wants to spend Carter’s last hours with him.

This is a very entertaining movie, filled with lots of comedy and drama and with some very nice performances from both Nicholson and Freeman. Some of the special effects were a little ropey, especially the scene where they go skydiving, but the heart-filled storyline more than made up for any discrepancies in the visual look of the movie.
