The Bucket List

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson---two acting veterans just having a blast.

Do not take anything too seriously in life, life ends, we all die, blah-blah-blah---that's the whole point of this movie. Two old timers about to kick the bucket (yes, that's where the title comes from) write up a list of things they want to do before they snuff it out.

Family-man Freeman and billionaire Nicholson seem like an unlikely pair at first, but their chemistry on and off-screen is truly captivating. It's like you'd never doubt that they could really be friends.

Watching this movie might make you want to write a bucket list of your own. Now that might seem pretty morbid at first, but as someone said, only two things in life are certain: death and taxes. And there's nothing wrong with being prepared.

Not really a tear-jerker, but the more emotional people might need to have something to wipe their eyes with.

Rating: Three and a half stars.
