DVD Review: "THE BUCKET LIST" Score C+
Although the teaming up of Nicholson and Freeman is a good paring this film lacked real solid scripting to take full advantage of their chemistry. Of course Freeman can't exist anymore in a film without a voice over by him, essentially un-needed. Nicholson recreates a touch of his cranky old guy with adventurous risk taker and drags Freeman with him. Their adventures are entirely anti-climatic and the film moves rather slow, we all wish they had a few hundred things on their list we could witness not just a couple. Directorial the pace is all to slow. These guys work very well together as actors just this is the wrong piece of film to put them in. Its an OK film just nothing to run out and see right now.
