This is one of those feel good comedy
movies that has left me with a smile.
Going into this movie I thought it would be comedy orientated and given the trailer I watched it had a lot of classic funny material, but when the credits rolled I had the same smile on my face as if it was a comedy. Don't get me wrong there were a lot of funny parts; however it did have good life lessons.
The movie starts out with Carter
(Freeman) working as a cab mechanic in LA.
He ends up in the hospital with Ed
(Nicholson) who is the owner of the hospital.
They laid there for weeks together; watch
Jeopardy, playing Gin in which Ed never did win a hand.
Then one day Ed’s doctor came in and gave
him the bad news that he was expected to die within 6-12 Months.
Then Carters doctor notified him that he had
the same life expectancy.
As Carter was laying in the hospital
thinking about his life he remembered when he was in a college class
the professor told his students to create a “Bucket List”.
That list was supposed to emulate there life
goals.
So Carter started writing down some new
goals.
When Ed started questioning Carter on
what he was writing, Carter got defensive and told him it was
nothing and wadded up the list.
Ed found the list in the morning on the
floor and began reading it.
Eventually, they agreed that the list was
something they both wanted to do.
So both men, one a multi-millionaire and
the other a mechanic, leave on there trip to complete there end of
life goals.
Carter’s wife was very upset about him
leaving.
This is the point were I will tell all of
you that if you want to know any other details about this movie you
will need to go enjoy it for yourself at Bones Theatre.
This isn't a movie just for women, men,
young or old. I
would recommend this to anyone looking for an entertaining evening
or daytime movie at Bones Theatre.
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are both outstanding actors and
had amazing chemistry together.
It seemed like they were best friends LONG
before the filming of this movie ever started.
The Theatre was clean as always and the
staff was very pleasant.
The Popcorn was great and the Drinks were
cold.
