You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman play two terminally ill men who check out of their cancer ward and head off on a road trip to complete their Bucket List of things to do before they die. Every once in a while a film comes along with such simplicity of warmth it rises above any charge of clichés and sugar coated sappiness. The Bucket List is one such film. Its message is simple, its filming style equally so. It's performed with such quality by Nicholson and Freeman (if the whole film had just been the two of them chatting in the hospital room it would have been a winner), with director Rob Reiner astute and wily enough to let them flow, that even as the inevitable sadness follows the laughs, you will feel far better for having watched this film. Rewarding adult cinema with class showing on both sides of the camera. 8.5/10
