The Bucket List (2007)

It would be so easy to give away the ending of this very fine movie in this review. Needless to say, Jack Nicholson gives a fantastic performance, followed closely by Morgan Freeman. I thought the movie started out a little slow but the last half seemed to move on at a nice pace. Great writing and a nice story with a very satisfying ending. I gave it an 8 out of 10. I can highly recommend this movie.
