Review of The Bucket List (2007) by Chris M — 06 Jan 2013
A billionaire (Jack Nicholson) and a mechanic (Morgan Freeman) in the same hospital room both learn that they have half a year to live. When the mechanic writes a list of goals he wants to accomplish before he dies, the billionaire takes matters into his own hands and takes the mechanic on an adventure to live their last days to the fullest in Rob Reiner's The Bucket List.
It's an inspiring idea to pair up Nicholson and Freeman, it's too bad they paired these two legends up with the wrong script. The problem with The Bucket List is that its story is implausible and unrealistic, not to mention that it never convinces us that the two leads were terminally ill and suffering badly.
Death is nothing to joke about, but when they're doing activities like skydiving, that's practically what the film is doing.
