Amazon.co.uk Review

"You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you," says the quietly wise Carter Chambers, played with gravitas and grace by a Morgan Freeman. In Rob Reiner's moving, often hilarious film The Bucket List, all sorts of people measure themselves against the two heroes, Chambers and his hospital suitemate, Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson). But as Cole finds, having spent his entire life building a Fortune 500 company, none of that much matters when cancer, the great equalizer, pays a visit.

The film traces the adventures of the two unlikely friends, who meet in a hospital cancer ward, each given six months to live. The "bucket list" of the title refers to a lifelong list of goals that a teacher of Chambers once advised him to compile--and achieve--"before you kick the bucket." Soon the two are off on what may be the last grand adventure of their life, vowing to tick off as many goals (skydiving, race-car driving, seeing the wonders of the world) as they can in the time they have left. What starts as a medical melodrama becomes a road trip, yet the men's mortality realities are never far from thought. The two leads give impressive performances, and remind the viewer of just how few American films focus on the lives and loves of senior citizens. Nicholson even manages to lose his persona in his character, much as he did in About Schmidt. There's a lovely John Mayer tune, "Say (What You Need to Say)," that's perfectly matched to the film's clear-eyed view of life: What does one person leave behind as his true legacy? --A.T. Hurley



DVD Description

In The Bucket List, a corporate billionaire (Jack Nicholson) and a working class mechanic (Morgan Freeman) find their lives thrown together when they end up sharing a hospital room. Both at a crossroads in their lives they come to realise that they have two things in common: a desire to spend the time they have left doing everything they ever wanted, as well as an unrealised need to come to terms with who they are. So before they, as the expression has it, "kick the bucket", the two men will support each other in realising their dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC, 21 Feb 2008
By T. Smith (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We saw this film last night and have to say its the funniest film I have seen in a long time. I came out of the cinema feeling emotionally quite drained. I lost someone close to me though lung cancer and so it touched me on a personal level, as I expect it will for a lot of other people.

It has you laughing out loud through most of the film, the beginning is a bit depressing mainly cos they are finding out they are going to die but that doesn't stop any of the humour it just leaves you feeling odd because you are laughing out loud at two men dying and it doesn't feel right.
This is one film I will definitely be ordering, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson were fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicholson and Freeman - The Dream Team., 17 Mar 2008
By Mr. E. P. Wilson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw this movie with my wife a short while ago, and we both found it to be a very amusing and thought provoking story. Other reviewers have given a precis of the story, but would just like to add what joy to see two of the finest screen actors at the top of their game - a masterclass on how to deliver the goods. Hard to believe that both will soon be 71 years old. Go see.
(PS. I'm off the make my own bucket list.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, 11 Jul 2008
I settled down to watch this expecting slap stick fun with a thrown together script and production. What I actually got was a thought provoking piece with some outstanding performances and a slick professional feel. The writing is superior and you'll come away having been taken on an emotional rollercoaster you wont soon forget.
