When a movie gives you all the elements, and at end gives you what I phrase as 'a positive balance' you leave with satisfaction and excitement. This is what 'The Bucket List' does. The story is how two cancer patients create a "To Do" list which they want to fulfill, before dying. The factor of suffering from cancer doesn't hurt much as the patients are already old.In the run our two buddies learn from each other and an exciting feel-good-drama unfurls. The two buddies are aces of their own world. It is one of the movies, where words simply cannot define its elegance. You have to watch it to know its greatness.

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson play two strangers, yin and yang of the modern world, who meet under dire circumstances and embark on a quest to live their final days as if there's no tomorrow. Which, given their diagnosis, might not be so far from the truth. It's got a good heart, but the two legendary leads don't get much script to really sink their teeth into and the trouble they find together often crosses from quaintly naive to downright unrealistic. To me, there was far more of interest in the relationship between Nicholson's grumpy, wannabe-refined old miser and his ironic, long-suffering personal assistant than between Jack and his calm, knowledgeable new travel partner. Still, it has a cute concept, some fun moments, and it moves swiftly, avoiding the typical bog-down of most films of a similar subject matter. As easygoing, feel-good and optimistic a take as you'll ever get from a movie about dying of brain cancer, it's safe, light viewing for the family audience.

I really loved this movie. I think an open-minded person would love this movie. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman played their roles exceptional great. It were really a flawless movie which I enjoyed every minute of.Beside the funny moments and the enjoyment, it really makes you think about the joy of life. It really makes you appreciate what you have and that you should appreciate it. As it's quoted in the movie: Get joy in your life and that others should get joy from you. Because life flies like time. One should really appreciate every great moment of your life and treasure them. This is really one of the main point I rated this movie so high. It made me rethink, appreciate and treasure the moments I have with my family and close ones. One should live a life the way you think is right without any regrets.Really a great movie. I recommend everyone watch this movie. Movies like these ones are really few out there, so one shouldn't miss it. :)

After few minutes, I have feeling that I have also some disease. Too depressive and cold. This movie have no real value or meaning, everything is vague and really cold in feelings and acting. Dialogues are like reading statements, trying to say something but saying nothing. First movie which get me that feeling: "I am here right now, watching TV and there is something, which should be less than background" and absolutely not concerning me. I am turning off and going to write review.In this kind of movies are better actors, who have more contact with real life and are more trying to act. Terrible movie with A class actors. Freeman and Nicholson seems to be bored by themselves and regrets to sign for this. I don't understand, where it gets so much points. Maybe they were trying to get wider audience. Or some nominations. I don't even know if this movie have some nominations, but I will be first one in the cinema to go out in the middle of it.There are similar and really better movies, like German Knocking on the heavens door. Or some movie with queen Latifah, and also another french movie with quadriplegic.
