This film is a beautiful journey on friendship and love. This film was surprisingly funny. I knew it was going to be humourous but I had absolutely no idea that I would find it hilarious. This film teaches how precious life is even when you're terminally ill. It also tells that life should be lived to the full and shouldn't be lived in unhappy misery. It showed that life was a gift from God. This is a very emotional film that has absolutely heartbreaking scenes as well as absolutely beautiful ones as well. The Bucket List is a very blessed film to watch that will melt hearts from everywhere.
Jack Nicholson was brilliant as Edward Cole. Edward Cole is a corporate billionaire who has a terminal illness. The way Jack portrays him is absolutely typical Jack Nicholson because he is hilarious, a real charmer and a bit of an idiot. It was Edward's idea of the bucket list and going on an adventure with Carter. Morgan Freeman's performance as Carter Chambers was awesome as well because he was really emotional and funny at the same time. Freeman was better than Nicholson in The Bucket List because Carter was more of an emotional character than Edward. Carter just had a bigger heart.
The directing from Rob Reiner was absolutely brilliant. It was a pleasant experience watching The Bucket List because it teaches the meaning of life and how it should be lived. It also shows us of the emotion of losing our loved ones. The script was absolutely awesome that was written to make people cry and to make people laugh. It made me laugh a lot but didn't quite make me cry.
The Bucket List is a purely brilliant adventure that I think everybody should watch. It should be watched by everybody anyway because it stars two aging actors who are extremely talented. The Bucket List isn't one of the best of 2007 and it isn't one of the worst either. The Bucket List is one of my favourite dramedies (comedy-drama) though. It is a very heartmelting and heartbreaking film that will touch people right until the very end.
