Hey, don’t Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman look happy? Nope, Jack isn’t showing off his black DEPARTED dildo to his co-star. And it’s not because they’re A-list actors who make more money in a day than you’ll see in a lifetime. It’s because they have cancer!
In case you couldn’t interpret from that informative poster image, THE BUCKET LIST involves two dying guys who abscond from their hospital ward with a checklist of things to accomplish before they kick the proverbial bucket. This shameless attempt to make audiences and Academy voters weepy comes from Rob Reiner, who once made actual rewarding stuff like THIS IS SPINAL TAP, THE PRINCESS BRIDE and STAND BY ME.
