The Bucket List's craft is as impeccable as moviemaking technique and computer tricks can be. But boiled into a formula that is sometimes cloying and sweet, the movie is nonetheless a lazy low-grade product. Jan 11, 2008 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The movie is caught in the crossfire of its two missions -- to celebrate the universal things that "really matter" in life (friendship, family) and to celebrate what it means to live like Jack Nicholson. Jan 11, 2008 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

There are certainly worse ways to spend the holiday season than in the company of two charming old actors, being reminded that human companionship makes life worth living, even as it makes dying a little tougher. Jan 11, 2008 | Rating: B-

Despite its scripted shortcomings, THE BUCKET LIST is poignantly filled with heart, guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings and tear ducts as we each face our own mortality, hopefully with the same courage and joy as Edward and Carter. Nov 6, 2019 | Full Review…

The Bucket List is far from a great movie, but it is a great opportunity to watch a pair of great actors at the top of their game. Oct 28, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

As Rob Reiner should know better and Jack Nicholson should know better and Morgan Freeman should know better, what you have here is a film which has to make you ask: how come they didn't? Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Once more, Reiner defines himself as the schlock artist who knows, as do his stars, that coots with familiar faces can walk through this garden of schmaltz with their eyes closed. Jan 2, 2018 | Full Review…
