The Bucket List(2007)- User Reviews

I really wanted to like this movie. I'd heard good things about it, but when all was said and done, this was 97 minutes out of my life I wish I had back.

This movie was a joke and totally unbelievable.

It started out good. I shed a few tears in the first 20-25 minutes. Then, it got completely ludicrous.

Morgan Freeman is a man dying of cancer. He has X amount of months to live. And how does he spend his last months alive? Does he spend it with his wife and 3 kids? Ohhhh, no. He decides instead to turn his back on his family and travel around the world with a rich guy (Nicholson) who also happens to be dying of cancer and was his roommate in the hospital.

In spite of battling cancer and undergoing Chemo, these 2 men still have the strength to drive race cars, skydive, travel to Honk Kong, the Great Wall of China, Italy and the pyramids in Egypt.

They are dying of cancer but yet they maintain a healthly, hearty appetite despite chemo. Nicholson is a billionaire but yet, does he have a nurse travel with him? No, he has a business associate.

Freeman was good as always. Nicholson, however, played the same ol character as he played in every other movie he makes: Foul mouthed, sarcastic, negative.

Not only did I dislike this movie but in some ways if offended me. As someone who has lost numerous family members to cancer, this film fails to show any of the effects. Freeman and Nicholson look just as healthy at the end of the movie, supposedly 'on their death bed' as they did at the beginning of the movie. No weight loss, no change in attitude, no change in skin color.

This movie almost makes being diagnosed with cancer as gift. Congratulations: You have cancer--NOw go travel the world.

This was one of the worst moves I'd seen in years
