“Cutesy,” Jack Nicholson’s curmudgeonly character observes about the term “Bucket List.” The same can be said about this movie, hardly an endorsement other than for those seeking uplifting fare about dealing with cancer. Die hard Nicholson and Morgan Freeman fans might also enjoy it, since two all-time-great actors can redeem any movie, almost.
Nicholson and Freeman together had to be the MO that got the film green lighted in Hollywood.
Sean Hayes, so distinctive and lively in “Will & Grace,” almost fails to register here. What a waste.
