Movie Review: The Bucket List


1. Laugh till you cry.
2. WATCH THIS FILM

I defy those who tell you something is popular and gets a lot of buzz so it must be great. Except, um, this film is great. heh Morgan Freeman can read the phone book to me, swoon. I love his voice and to steal a sentiment from a talk show guy, anything he's in is just better. Jack Nicholson makes a great asshole.

A pair of older guys find out they're both dying soon. So rather than sit around and cry about it, they decide to run around the world doing the things they'd always dreamed of doing. That's simply not enough of a plot point to explain the ways these men touched me. Joy and sorrow mixed with charm and irony.

Hop off to these libraries for this wonderful film: Bandon, Coos Bay, Dora, Lakeside, Myrtle Point and Powers.
