Reviews:
Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Good The Bucket List is sentimental but it's not so phony that one will be embarrassed to shed a tear or two at the end.”
”Poor 'The Bucket List' thinks dying of cancer is a laff riot followed by a dime-store epiphany.” Roger Ebert
”Poor Rob Reiner's feel-good tear-jerker, in which dying well is the best revenge, wants to be heartwarming. But first-timer Justin Zackham's screenplay is so stridently formulaic and disingenuous that the film falls flat at every inspirational turn.” TV Guide Online
”Below Average It doesn't take much hooch to get woozy and combative over 'The Bucket List.' My own breaking point came when our two intrepid buddies neglected to check 'witness something majestic' off their list after seeing the Taj Mahal.” Newsday
