The Bucket List

‘Freeman radiates Zen calm & wisdom; Nicholson tears up the screen with a performance so huge that it barely fits into the screen’ - The Times

Oscar ™ winners Jack Nicholson (The Departed, As Good as it Gets) and Morgan Freeman (Batman Begins, Seven) embark on the adventure of a lifetime before they ‘kick the bucket’, in the hilarious and heart-warming comedy, The Bucket List. Directed by Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally), and also starring Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), it’s released to own on Blu-ray and DVD on 7th July 2008 from Warner Home Video.

Corporate billionaire Edward Cole (Nicholson) and working class mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman) have little in common, or so it seems. At a crossroads in their lives, they share a hospital room and discover the surface differences (and sheer contempt) aside, they have a deep desire to experience the best that life has to offer, before they ‘kick the bucket’. They write a joint ‘bucket list’ and embark on the once in a lifetime adventure.

What crazy things would you want to do before you kicked the bucket? For these two characters, their list includes high adrenalin racing car driving, followed by sky diving, climbing the Pyramids, a lion safari in Africa and a trip to the Taj Mahal. And that’s just for starters. Along the way they learn a lot about each other’s lives, and even more about themselves, developing an unlikely and extraordinary friendship, and rediscovering parts of their lives they thought they had lost.

The Bucket List is a hilarious and deeply touching tale of friendship and discovering one’s own identity. With fantastic performances from both Jack Nicholson (the most Oscar-nominated man in history) and Morgan Freeman, this film will leave you feeling great about life, and inspired to make the most of it.
