The Bucket List

Jack And Morgan Enjoying The Late Night E-TV Porn

It was movie night at the Favourite Son household, and that meant only one thing - we were going to watch a movie. Not just any movie though, we were in the mood for a special effects blockbuster, with digital surround sound to temporarily deafen us. Naturally then, we decided on The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

The film centres around these two characters, (messrs Nicholson and Freeman) who are thrown together when forced to share a hospital room. They are both terminally ill, and thus decide to "go out with a bang", by compiling a list of things to do before they "kick the bucket". This includes skydiving, climbing the Himalayas, and motorcycling atop the Great Wall Of China. They are able to do this because Nicholson's character is ludicrously wealthy, whilst Freeman's character is a bit of a leach, who doesn't mind not having to pay his way.

Like the sub heading above suggests, it's a bit of a chick flick, except it's aimed at old men. Not gay old men, just old men in general. Mind you, gay old men WOULD probably enjoy this as well, as it's fairly broad and could appeal to most demographics. It's a decent feel-good little flick, although a tad predictable and at times overly sentimental - you will laugh with them, and you will most likely cry with them as well.

Because they die in the end.

...Huh? What do you mean I spoilt it for you? They were both TERMINALLY ill, that means there was no hope of recovery.

You could have seen that in the PREVIEW.

Don't be silly, I didn't spoil it for you...Come now, stop crying... Okay, I was just kidding, really they don't die.

A scientist develops a cure at the end and they both survive.

Seriously, that's how it ends.
