![]() ![]() One minute they are in hospital, suffering the pain of chemotherapy and being told that they have only a few months to live then the next they are off gallivanting around the world experiencing the best of life. Okay so I said that the storyline is not the problem and whilst I stand by that I have to say that for a movie which focuses on two men who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer "The Bucket List" doesn't pay much attention to reality. Jointly they write a 'bucket list' of things to do before they kick the bucket and embark on an adventure of a lifetime. But as they both approach a crossroads in their lives they discover that despite their external differences they both have the same desire to experience life to the full before it comes to an end. When corporate billionaire Edward Cole ( ) and working class car mechanic Carter Chambers ( Morgan Freeman - Evan Almighty) find themselves sharing the same hospital room, they appear to have very little in common. But whilst it is a funny movie and will make you laugh a good few times it is also a surprisingly touching tale about two men facing the prospect of death and what they plan to do to make the most of their last days. I remember watching the "The Bucket List" trailer and thinking it was basically a laugh out loud comedy which capitalized on the appeal of its stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman "The Bucket List" has a major problem and it's not so much the movie, the storyline or the acting, it is the way it was promoted.
