Summary: Simply put, one of the best.
Comment: Simply put, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's a movie to make one think, make one review life, and; yes, make one cry. My husband and I had been hesitant to view this film because it had received such negative reviews. Finally today I decided to watch 'Bucket List' because I knew, deep down, Morgan Freeman would not make 'junk'. I was right.
This isn't a movie for kids, this isn't a movie for teens, nor most people in their 20's. This is a movie for the more mature of us, the people who know life WILL have an end, the people who know the disappointment of unfulfilled dreams. This is a movie to cry over, and to laugh over. If you're a person 'of an age' I can say no more than, please do yourself a favor, SEE THIS MOVIE.

Summary: Great Movie
Comment: I saw this movie at the movie theater with a friend and rented it for my husband. He loved it so much he bought it and I sent one to my dad for a present and he and my mom loved it.

Summary: Good actors in a too "feel good" move
Comment: Disappointing, I'd say. Very good actors in a somewhat predicatble all too "feel good" film. We rented it - I wouldn't buy it. I'd give it 2 and a half stars if I could.

Summary: A slow starter that redeems itself with a nice twist at the ending.
Comment: As a long-time fan of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, I expected to see some strong performances from these two great actors. Although they didn't live up to some of their earlier great roles, neither were they disappointing. Both did yeoman's work in their roles as aging men from very different life backgrounds, one phenomenally rich and the other a humble laborer, who found common ground in their battle with terminal cancer. Both are forced, without regard to wealth or social status, to come to grips with both their own mortality and their past failings.
The first half hour or so of the movie was less than gripping, and at times maybe even a little tedious, but once it moves into the meat of the storyline it takes on a new life (although even at this it seems a bit too contrived and just missed a fourth star). In their quest to live full lives in their last remaining months, and thus to try to undo a lifetime of squandered opportunities, they stumble upon something far more valuable -- true self-understanding, true friendship, and, most importantly, redemption.
I hate spoilers, so I won't give any clues except to say that the end of this frequently humorous, frequently poignant tale is delightfully unexpected and equally poetic. This is not a great movie, but I would characterize it as a good one that will, or at least should, prompt each viewer to stop and think about his or her own approach to life, and to pursue the most important things while there's still time.

Summary: A Truely Moving Comedy
Comment: This movie was so good. it made me cry at the end of the film. Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman go good together like Walter Mathawe & Jack Lemon. This was a very good touching movie.

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.
