Quite possibly the best movie released in 2007.

Need I say more?

5/5 stars

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson both do a great job in this film.

Actually the best movie in the last two or three years.

If it doesn't win Best Picture, Best Actor (for Morgan Freeman) and Best Screenplay I will be much surprised.

5 out of 5.

This was an excellent film. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman did an excellent job. Saw this movie tonight at an all private employee screening at my theatre.

5/5 Stars for this film.

Saw it Tue night, loved it. I thought Juno was as good as it was going to get for awhile, I was wrong. About halfway through the film I realized this is going to get nominated like crazy.

These reviews, although what I had hoped for this title..in no way match Rotten Tomatoes at about 50% last look. I was surprised I must say.

Only caught about the last 3rd of this picture. Loved it! Will return for the rest.

Well i can only but mirror the comments of others. Yes a real good wholesome film. Well acted and some real good lines, it makes one reflect back over their own lives with a few comic moments.

4 out of 5 from me.

While I don't share the other posters' enthusiam for this movie, it wasn't bad.

However, tell me it wouldn't have been awesome if William Shatner was cast in the Jack Nicholson role.

I saw this today after helping out in another cinemas booth for the morning. cant believe they let me lace up and everything. very trusting.

really enjoyed this film. both actors are so well matched and the whole concept of a bucket list is brilliant. film print was very clean and sharp and there were NO LAB SPLICES!. these seem abundant in most prints we get these days.

Really solid film and ill look forward to seeing it again with my family.

4/5

We just got around to this one and I really liked it. Not many movies make me "choke up" but this one did. Great job by all of the actors, including the supporting players.

It was also nice to have a movie where we got nice big crowds but I didn't have to tell ONE person the whole week to shut up or turn off their cell phone. [thumbsup]

I am kind of amazed that this film got shut out of the Oscar nominations. It really came out too late to get a good buzz going.

I guess the only thing I might complain about was the movie was a bit predictable -- after all it tells you the ending right at the beginning -- but the whole thing was so enjoyable that didn't bother me.

4.75 out of 5 stars for me.

I liked this movie very much. Two of my favorite actors. For me 5 out of 5. I got a little emotional also.
