48 YEARS OF FILM MAKING, MULTIPLE OSCARS, AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET? WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THIS "COMEDY" BOTH STARS ARE DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER. THAT'S WHEN I KNEW THIS MOVIE WOULD BE ALL LAUGHS. BECAUSE APPARENTLY CANCER IS A HOOT. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S JACK NICHOLSON WHO'S DYING AND WHO'S TRADEMARK ACTING STYLE, HIS EYEBROWS, ARE BEING OVERSHADOWED BY HIS FAT. NOTHING SAYS HUMOR LIKE WATCHING TWO 70-YEAR-OLDS SHAVE THEIR HEADS, VOMIT PROFUSELY, AND ATTEMPT TO HOLD DOWN SOLID FOODS. I'M PRETTY SURE EVERYONE OVER 65 IN THE THEATRE CRIED, LEFT, AND WENT TO PREPARE THEIR WILLS. THIS FILM SHOULD'VE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS SCI-FI, BECAUSE THE CHANCE OF TWO MEN SKYDIVING, RACING CARS, AND DINING IN THE SAFARI, HOURS AFTER CHEMO, IS ABOUT AS BELIEVABLE AS CHEWBACA KNOCKING ON MY DOOR AND INVITING ME TO A NEW YEAR'S PARTY. HOWEVER, IF CANCER REALLY IS THIS FUN, I'M GOING TO RUN A MARATHON WITH AN ASBESTOS-DOUSED HANDKERCHIEF TIED AROUND MY FACE. THE BUCKET LIST JUMPS FROM "COMEDY" TO DRAMA TOO QUICKLY AND IS SIMPLY HORRIBLE, POORLY CONSTRUCTED, AND RIDICULOUS. DO NOT SEE THIS.
