The Bucket List (2007)


Genre: Drama/Comedy

Starring: Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Sean Hayes

Two contrasting individuals share a hospital room, and have only one similarity between them; their illness. Carter Chambers (Freeman) is a not-so-well-off black man. Edward Cole (Nicholson) on the other hand is a super-rich owner of that very hospital. Edward has all the riches in the world, but no companion except his personal secretary cum servant cum valet Matthews (Hayes). With only countable days remaining, Cole and Chambers decide to get out of their beds and see the world and enjoy what is left of their lives. An extremely heart-rendering and touching story of friendship and attachment. There is obviously no doubt about the fine piece of acting of both Nicholson and Freeman, at whose shoulders the entire movie rests. True friendship comes from the most underestimated and opposite person. Just stick with it.

Rating: 7.9/10
