| www.susangranger.comSusan GrangerA heartfelt, wickedly funny, one-of-a-kind holiday treat...Nicholson's and Freeman's tandem performances are near to perfection. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedThe Bucket List is a messy free-for-all, but it's a genuine pleasure to watch two hired hands literally running the rodeo. |
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfThose looking for a romp in the daisies should be advised that Bucket List isn't going to provide much in the laugh department. If you've seen director Rob Reiner's work in recent years, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA warning is in order. You may leave the theater with a guilty conscious, having hoped that both of them would just go ahead and die in order to put you out of your misery. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumBoomers and older will love it. Others should too.... The plus is it's played out by two terrific actors of our time. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongBy the end of The Bucket List, silliness has been replaced by pretension, and while there may not be a dry eye in the theater, many of those tears will be shed in embarrassment for giving in to such hooey. |

| About.comRebecca MurrayThe way these two iconic actors play off one another is as good as it gets. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettWhile not a classic in its own right, The Bucket List displays two great actors in classic form, a sort of Planes, Trains and Automobiles for maturing audiences. |
