Bucket List has 2 excellent actors of our time, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The two men met in the hospital, suffering from cancer. Edward Cole (Jack) is a hospital typhoon while Carter Chambers (Morgan) is a mechanic, who dreamt of being a history teacher. As both men has less than a year to live, their friendship blossomed with the creation of the bucket list. It is a list of things they thought of doing before they kick the bucket.
They went on an adventure around the world, travelling to Safari, Egypt, China, Tibet, Hong Kong, and etc. Doing things which they never try like car racing, sky diving... everything they have put on their bucket list.
Death is old and yet new to all of us. These two unlikely friends will only be found in movies and Hollywood, never in real life. The storyline is rather weak and seemingly lack of depth despite the many emotional struggles one will expect to go through if caught in their situation. And at the end of the day, you learn the basic lesson. Family matters.
Rating: 3 out of 5 fairy clouds. I expected more from these 2 veteran actors. I can only blame it on the storyline and directing.
