My Review of The Bucket List

Hey guys, Andrew here, my turn to eat in the warmth of McDonalds while Travis holds our place in line. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy my review of The Bucket List that I wrote earlier.

Yes, Yes, I know it hasn’t come out yet, but that doesn’t mean a boy can’t propose how this spectacular film will pan out. So, if you’ll put on your imagination caps, as I have so many nights, here is my review of The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

The Bucket List is the quintessential American Film, providing the public with a piece of art that appeases all different ages, races and creeds. Like a finely sewn piece of clothing, this movie just fits. I’d go deeper into the story, but seriously people just watch the trailer… it’s all there.

An Academy Award just isn’t enough for the two stars of this film, Jack Nicholson (Edward Cole) and Morgan Freeman (Carter Chambers). They show their full range of emotions throughout this epic tale. From fear (Skydiving anyone?), Jubilation (Driving Mustangs off Jumps… I’d be so happy doing that with my best bud), or anger (Edward Cole being forced to meet up with his estranged daughter, I’d be mad!) they are worthy of the greatest award man can receive.

‘But what about the directing Andrew? Did you forget Rob?’ Of course I didn’t silly, he did his thing like only Rob Reiner can. He brought this playful tale (Thank you Justin Zackham) to life. He made the two best actors in the world seem as natural as flowers in springtime.

Not to mention the amazing visuals… I don’t even need to see the Great pyramids or the Great wall of china, I’ve seen it the best way I can, through the eyes of Rob Reiner.

‘But Andrew, anything wrong with the movie, at all?’ This movie… (LOL) no, there isn’t. I know a bad movie when I see one, but like all great critics, I know when I see a perfect one, and this is it. If you don’t see the this movie, then don’t go to work on Monday cause you’ll feel dumb for not having seen it.”

Well I hope that helps you to get up off your bums and get in line. It’ll start growing any minute now. Wish for sunny skies for Travis and I.

I can't believe you left out John Schwartzman's camerawork! I'd say he was better here than ever before.

That's right, better than National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
Better than Meet the Fockers & Seabiscuit combined!
Better than The Rock & Airheads (hell, even if Airheads had The Rock as the lead -- instead of B Fraser -- Schwartzman couldn't beat the peak he reached with this movie)!
Better than Ed TV & Armageddon.

Better than...Pearl Harbor!!

Wow.
