It was exactly as expected. Both the actors roles were perfect for their character. Had well meaning content, which we need to see more of today. I'd go see it again. My husband agrees :) We both laughed and I cried. There were some super scenes which show the greatest in the theater. I believe it is good for all ages. The very young would probably get bored. Outstanding show for relaxing and enjoying your evening.

This was a truely touching movie. It makes you really think about life and how fragile it is. Be prepared to laugh and cry at the same time. After seeing "The Bucket List" I held my boyfriend's a little tighter, and told everyone that are close to my heart, I loved them, because they could be gone the next day. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson did an excellent job playing two strangers who held each other for the good. I highly recommend it.

I went to see this movie on Christmas Day - the day it actually opened here. I had pretty high expectations, given the pairing of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I was not prepared for what a perfect film this is. They took a somewhat morbid premise - two terminally ill older guys sharing a hospital room - and turned it into a funny, touching, amazing movie. These two movie stars - and that's what I consider Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Freeman - were incredibly believable as they went through the torture and discomfort of cancer treatment. They then decided to create a "bucket list" - a list of those things they wanted to do before they died. What an adventure this was! They explored, they experienced things and they took us along for the ride. We found that Jack's character had an enormous heart and that Morgan Freeman was just as nice a man as we always thought he was. I don't want to give away too much of the story but viewers here stood and applauded at the end. Go see it!

I read the "professional" critiques of this movie on this site before I went to see it. I'm very glad that I didn't allow them to weigh on my decision to see the movie. Frankly, I'm not sure the critics even saw the same movie I did... and in a sense I'm quite sure that they didn't. I found this to be a beautifully moving film. It gave Jack and Morgan the opportunity to play the types personalities that most of us have probably come to expect and enjoy from them. If you are expecting different persona's then you may be disappointed. If you are in a family who has a member currently dealing with cancer, or any life threatening illness, then this film has the potential to touch on numerous emotions. This could help to bring about a sense of freedom and relief or it could stir up things that one may not want stirred. It depends upon the person and their choices. Personally, I laughed, cried and found myself leaving with a little more clarity about what is important to me in my life.

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman were superb! The movie was extremely funny yet sad at times. I would recommend the young and young at heart to see it.
