In The Bucket List, Rob Reiner directs ultra movie stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, with star power like that it has to be a good movie, right? Not so right. Both men are dying from cancer and have decided that since they don’t have much life left, they are going to do all the things they’ve always wanted to do. Nicholson’s character is rich and so it kind of turns into a road movie, with each of the men learning new things about their lives from the other. The movie has its cutesy bits and the extreme seriousness of cancer is dealt with in an okay manner. In the end, it’s obvious they used these two actors because it is the only way this movie would get any recognition. I really can’t see either actor getting any nominations from this. And it really displays just how old Nicholson is getting. I hope he makes a brighter picture for his last one as I don’t see him having many more left in him, but this isn’t even close to a good closing on a wonderful career that has spanned decades.
Editor’s Note: This movie doesn’t come out until tomorrow. Grab it now and watch it first… or don’t.
