Funny and Touching

The Bucket List stars Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson as two old,dying men... sounds like the perfect formula for hilarity, doesn't it?
But the two actors play magnificently well off each other. Think of two of their best film-roles(Shawshank Redemption meets As Good As It Gets) coming together and then being forced to share a hospital room for months until being diagnosed as terminal.
The only thing to do... a mad-cap list of adventures and obstacles they must overcome, together. It never gets as sachoryne-sweet as it's premise sounds, but there ARE touching moments of heart-felt bonding here, so be warned. But I definitely recomend it to all. |
