The Bucket List.

My wife and I went to see "The bucket list" last night. Starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicolson as two terminally ill patients who decide to write down what they would like to do before they die and then proceed to go out and cross off the list.

The wife and I both enjoyed the movie. Not nearly as sappy as you would expect. Morgan Freeman does an excellent acting job. Jack is not as solid in my opinion, but still pretty good.

The journey these two take is very well played out. It is a funny and touching movie without being violent or having foul language. While you will not miss much, in my opinion, seeing it in a home theater VS the public one, it really is worth the price of admission.

2 thumbs up.

    I may have to go and see this flick. Have not heard anything but praise for this duo. Morgan Freeman is an excellent actor. Jack's pretty good himself.

    Saw this over the weekend. I was expecting something decent and at the very least watchable but as serious as a topic it was, it was alot of fun to watch! I guess having two of the arguably the greatest actors of our time as the lead roles probably had alot to do with it and the supporting cast was also quite good.

    The ending was a little depressing but overall, an enjoyable experience. The plot was predictable and cookie cutter but you can honestly look past that. The film made light of the plight of the characters but, it never went too long before throwing something at you that grounded you back down to what the movie was really about. It was a good movie, I'll recommend it to anyone.

    Saw it a couple of weeks ago on a DVD from Netflix. Mildly entertaining, IMO. Morgan rocks the role.

    It wasn't really doing it for me(mildly entertaining) till the end. The story was great, but it could have been shot better.
