    I kind of want to see it, but after watching someone I care about wither away and pass in a hospital room, I think I'll pass.

    It's funny what can bring two people from different worlds together. I really liked this movie. It shows that what you sometimes see on the outside is not always what a person has to give on the inside. For anyone judgemental, this is the movie that you should see.

    If this was supposed to be a comedy then the jokes are kind of bland and infrequent, but as a drama it's not bad.

    The Bucket List was a very heartwarming movie. I thought that The Bucket List had so much meaning to it. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson worked so amazing together. Morgan Freeman probably did his best job he has ever done before. He didn't over act or anything like that, he did everything so perfect. Jack Nicholson did a great job as well. He always plays a great part in every movie he plays in. I loved some of the ideas they put in the bucket list. It was a very sad story. The story was so good though, having two men dying of cancer and just wanting to live their last few months to the fullest. The two mens last dying wishes are to make a bucket list. What the two men want to do is everything that they never had a chance to and they want to do before they die. It was great acting and had some great messages in it. The direction this movie was going was perfect. It was sort of slow moving in the beginning but then picked up. I thought that the movie had some pretty cool visuals. Especially when they go sky diving. Overall this was a very heartwarming movie. One of the feel good movies of 2008. It is worth your money you pay to go see it. One last thing this movie in my opinion is made for people older not quite for teens. I think older people would enjoy it more. It has more meaning for them. I think that old people would understand it more. Although I did enjoy it and I am a teenager. So go see it and have a fun time watching this movie filled with meaning.

    I thought it was good. I laughed at about three parts, XD, but I thought it was good once they got out of the hospital. =3

    Jack is "Jack" and Morgan gives a wonderful performance. The movies didn't quite live up to the "hype" yet it was quite poignant and thought provoking.

    I was sooo disapointed. These two actors are soooo much better than what they left behind in these frames. Maybe My exxpectations were way to high. What do you think???

    This movie made me make my own "bucket list" which i think each one of us should have, only when i did put all the things in writing that i realized that some of those that i want to do i could have done had i had the time to really put everything in writing on a notepad that i can go over and over, i miss one task that i could have done, but too late, my fav uncle passed away

    A tear jerker movie, and LOVE it. Makes me appreciate my father and grandfather more.
    Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are no doubt the best of the best. I guess no actors would portray the characters best rather than them.
    makes me want to create my own bucket list.
    Watch it and you'll love it...

    Two Great Actors,

    A touching film that has a terrific plot, a heartfelt script, great bits of humor and wonderful visual effects and sets of the various places they go to. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are excellent together.
