Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching Bucket List.

What I Liked: The two best things about this humorous and moving film are easy to name: Morgan Freeman (Carter) and Jack Nicholson (Edward). The interaction between these two veteran actors makes you wonder why someone hasn’t put them together before this.

The script by Justin Zackman offers a well-paced plot and plenty of laughs, all the while bringing home an important point about life. Rob Reiner provides his usual solid direction, allowing his talented actors to work their magic.

Outside of the main characters, Sean Hayes as Edward’s assistant shows a subtler side to his acting than that in his “Will & Grace” days.

What I Disliked: This is the type of movie that relies heavily on what an viewer brings with them. I found myself quiet and moved during times that many in the audience laughed out loud. Possibly (because of the advertising associated with the movie), some audience members think this film was supposed to be a straight comedy, but it is much more. This at times may be a bit confusing for some.

Would I Recommend?: I’d definitely recommend this movie. The acting, humor and message are all there to make a wonderful film.

Score: 8 out of 10

What I Liked: The various global landscapes ranging from the coast of France to the Great Wall of China to the famous breath-taking Pyramids of Cairo. Seeing all this beauty makes you forget, for a moment, how depressing it is to see two of the greatest actors of all time dying before your eyes.

What I Disliked: It seemed contrived. Let’s put two amazing aged actors together to make a blockbuster about a scenario that is highly unlikely. I think Nicholson and Freeman have some steam left to make a couple more films before they ‘kick the bucket’.

Would I Recommend?: Not to any of my friends. A certain group of people would appreciate this film for its last minute thrill rides and cheap laughs before death. Others will be sprinting to a comedy to make them feel invincible once again.

Score: 5 out of 10

What I Liked: A sentimental journey with two men of terminal proportions that take on the frailty and impermanence of life, while playing off each others strengths and weaknesses; that tugs at your heart. They seek to satisfy the essence of life’s journey and the inherent meaning therein. Both actors seem to draw on portions of their previous picture roles, such as Nicholson in ‘A Few Good Men’ and Freedman channels a God like quality when describing the spiritual in life.

What I Disliked: Some of the sequences seem to be underdeveloped or just extremely edited, and could use more transitions as they come across like snapshots in a photo album. The humor depends a lot on one liner’s, although there are a few that follow the storyline for buildup. Also some of the sets appear to be done in a studio with backdrops, instead of true location, which loses the life quest quality.

Would I Recommend?: In general family-social-dynamics, this would be a good option, but not a must see.

Score: 7 out of 10
