DVD Reviews of The Bucket List

DVD Review: A Must See - Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

I'll just say that this movie is wonderful! Great performances, great story, great fun!

The Blu-ray video transfer is flawlessly crisp and the audio is superb.

If you haven't seen this movie, you should. It's one I could watch again.

Highly recommended!

DVD Review: Two of the great actors of our time. But now they are old.
Summary: 4 Stars

In real time & in this movie. Still in fine form. Jack Nicholson (Ed) & Morgan Freeman (Carter) meet in the hospital & become fast friends. Ed is lonely & fabulously wealthy. Carter is a scholarly mechanic with a large loving family & wife of 45 years. The movie may skew a bit to the older crowd but anybody can appreciate this movie. Besides, what over-50 guy has not composed a bucket list of sorts, things to do, places to see before death? Both men are given death sentences, months to live. They compose a list. Being asymphtomatic & having all of Ed's money to play with they begin, much to Carter's wife, Virginia's consernation. Beverly Todd cannot be 65 years old. A good looking woman. She wants Carter to die quietly in her arms. They do the things, racing a Cobra Shelby on a course, jumping out of a place, visiting the pryamids etc. as they fly around the world (Ed has a private jet). It becomes a buddy/road trip. There are challenges that each has problems with such as Carter being faithful to his wife & Ed reconciling with his grown daughter. It is all done with humor & heavy doses of pop-philsophy. I can see director Rob Reiner fingerprints all over the place. It is all pretty entertaining. The ending of the movie is of course pre-ordained. Even that is amusing. Ed's words of wisdom that men over 60 can relate to: "Always know where the nearest bathroom is, never waste a hard-on & never trust a fart.

DVD Review: WOW ! Absolutely Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I would have to rank it in the top 5 of my absolute favorites. All I can say is WOW! To see Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman together is just pure genius. I laughed, I cryed. This is a deeply moving and very funny story about friendship at it's fullest. Anyone thinking about getting this movie, all I have to say is you won't be dissapointed. I've recommended this movie to many friends and everyone has told me it deeply moved them. Fantastic!

DVD Review: Good Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a good movie and will make many people think about their respective "bucket lists". The story was a little weak and sappy for me as the actors mesh, but not as well as I expected. I like the theme of the movie and it is not drawn out like alot of other movies are today.

DVD Review: NOT HAPPY
Summary: 1 Stars

BEEN WANTING TO WATCH THIS MOVIE FOR A LONG TIME, STILL CAN'T BECAUSE IT WON'T PLAY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY INTO IT. WILL RETURN FOR EITHER A BETTER COPY OR GET MONY BACK.

Description of The Bucket List

You only live once, so why not go out in style? That's what two cancer- ward roommates, an irascible billionaire (Jack Nicholson) and a scholarly mechanic (Morgan Freeman), decide when they get the bad news. They compose a bucket list - things to do before you kick the bucket - and head off for the around-the-world adventure of their lives. Sky dive? Check. Power a Shelby Mustang around a racetrack? Check. Gaze at the Great Pyramid of Khufu? Check. Discover the joy in their lives before it's too late? Check! Under the nimble direction of Rob Reiner, the two great stars provide the heart and soul, wit and wiles of this inspired salute to life that proves that the best time of all is right now.

"You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you," says the quietly wise Carter Chambers, played with gravitas and grace by a Morgan Freeman. In Rob Reiner's moving, often hilarious film The Bucket List, all sorts of people measure themselves against the two heroes, Chambers and his hospital suitemate, Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson). But as Cole finds, having spent his entire life building a Fortune 500 company, none of that much matters when cancer, the great equalizer, pays a visit. The film traces the adventures of the two unlikely friends, who meet in a hospital cancer ward, each given six months to live. The "bucket list" of the title refers to a lifelong list of goals that a teacher of Chambers once advised him to compile--and achieve--"before you kick the bucket." Soon the two are off on what may be the last grand adventure of their life, vowing to tick off as many goals (skydiving, race-car driving, seeing the wonders of the world) as they can in the time they have left. What starts as a medical melodrama becomes a road trip, yet the men's mortality realities are never far from thought. The two leads give impressive performances, and remind the viewer of just how few American films focus on the lives and loves of senior citizens. Nicholson even manages to lose his persona in his character, much as he did in About Schmidt. There's a lovely John Mayer tune, "Say (What You Need to Say)," that's perfectly matched to the film's clear-eyed view of life: What does one person leave behind as his true legacy? --A.T. Hurley
