The Bucket List (2007), 2.5 Stars

Jack in 1976

I really like this film. It's very basic and straightforward but is a joy just to watch two all-time greats work together.

The repartee and dialogue is natural and fun. Jack Nicholson (Easy Rider, 1969) seems to put more into his outlandish character and Morgan Freeman (Driving Miss Daisy, 1989) is calmer as befits the part. Sean Hayes (Will & Grace, TV) is very good in a supporting role as is Beverly Todd who was also in Lean on Me (1989) with Freeman. I also liked Rowena King who looked familiar but her 'filmography' didn't ring any bells.

Having a 'bucket list' is an intriguing concept which I like (but don't personally hold to) and it is interesting to watch this one. I can and will watch this often.
