Review: ‘The Bucket List’

When they told me there was a film coming out with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman I couldn’t wait to see it. It turned out to be one of my top 10 films of 2007. The film is “The Bucket List” and its out on DVD!

In case you missed it last year, the story is another take on the odd couple. You have Edward Cole (Nicholson), a corporate billionaire, who is stuck sharing a hospital room with “grease monkey” Carter Chambers (Freeman). They are like mixing oil and water..but have one thing in common …Cancer. They are both dying. Over the course of their treatment the two developed a bond. Cole discovers a list Carter had prepared “the bucket list”, things he wants to do before he “kicks the bucket”. Cole’s answer to this “Let’s Do It! I’m buying.” So over the course of their adventure in fulfilling the bucket list the bond of Carter and Cole turns into a unbreakable friendship. The Bucket list also features an outstanding performance by Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) as Cole’s personal assistant.

I’m not just telling you to go out and rent The Bucket List on DV..this one should be in your library so that you can enjoy it over and over nad over again!
