The Bucket List

Jack Nicholson and Moragn Freeman star in a new dramatic comedy that is cracking-up theatres all over the U.S.. The Bucket List is a film about a the friendship between Edward Cole (Nicholson), a coporate billionaire and Carter Chambers (Freeman), a freshman year philosophy professor turned mechanic.

When both are in the hospital being treated for terminal cancer, Chambers remembers his teaching years in which he would tell his students to create a list with all the things they would want to do and accomplish before they kicked the bucket -- hence the name of the film. Cole loves the idea, convincing Chambers that they have to fulfill their respective list before they die. While Cole bank-rolls their fantastic adventures, Chambers soaks it all in with a deep joy and thanksgiving. He in turn encourages Cole to fulfill the one last thing on his list that money can't buy: reconciliation with his family.

Nicholson and Freeman, although both Academy Award winners, never cease to surprise audiences with their superb performances. As both grow older on the screen and in real life, the movie could perhaps be a film that both talented actors had on a bucket list when they first engaged in Hollywood, however many years ago. In any event, let's hope their are still more items to be realized...
