Nicholson) and a scholarly mechanic (Morgan Freeman), decide when they
get the bad news. They compose a bucket list – things to do before you
kick the bucket – and head off for the around-the-world adventure of
their lives. Sky dive? Check. Power a Shelby Mustang around a racetrack?
Check. Gaze at the Great Pyramid of Khufu? Check. Discover the joy in
their lives before it’s too late? Check!
Under the nimble direction of Rob Reiner, the two
great stars provide the heart and soul, wit and wiles of this inspired
salute to life that proves that the best time of all is right now.
