Synopsis:
Academy Award winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star in the comedic drama The Bucket List, directed by Rob Reiner, a touching, no- holds-barred adventure that shows it’s never too late to live life to its fullest. Carter and Edward found themselves sharing a hospital room with plenty of time to think about what might happen next—and about how much of that was in their hands. For all their apparent differences, they soon discovered they had two very important things in common: an unrealized need to come to terms with who they were and the choices they’d made, and a pressing desire to spend the time they had left doing everything they ever wanted to do.

CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN
Critics are kicking The Bucket List. Despite the drawing power of its stars, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, Stephen Holden in the New York Times writes that "it is an open question whether audiences will flock to a preposterous, putatively heartwarming buddy comedy about two men diagnosed with terminal cancer living it up in their final months." Peter Howell in the Toronto Star warns that the movie may be "a distressing hint at what Hollywood might be like a few months from now if the current writers' strike continues and producers are forced to hire Hallmark Cards scribes to churn out screenplays." Even the movie's legendary stars and its director, Rob Reiner, don't escape the critics' swipes. For example, Jan Stuart writes in Newsday: "In Rob Reiner's sodden comedy, Nicholson and Morgan Freeman recycle old screen personas with an abandon that borders on self-parody." And Claudia Puig in USA Today concludes, "The entire undertaking feels like a waste of time and talent."

bob ebert (along with many other critics), who claims to have had some experience at dying, has expressed his extreme dislike of a movie that tasks out fatal disease to two characters who literally make a vacation of it...driving fast cars, sitting on pyramids, and dining in the south of france...the point is taken...this is no shadow box...but if you should happen to have an affinity for schmaltz, you aren't likely to find better performances of it...one caveat i cannot resist; if freeman must be cast as his usual omniscient persona, cranking out a set of most unlikely professional middle class kids, it should not be as a garage mechanic.
