Worth the Popcorn?

'The Bucket List' is a nice casual movie. After Shannon and I saw it, I wasn't too sure I was going to use it for our Cinema Saturday. It got a little too preachy for my taste -- that's what Jack Nicholson had to avoid I guess. But then Shannon said: "Nice movie, right? You are going to use it for your post, right?" This is when I got the idea of doing a little Q&A with Shannon, like Monique does at 'Movie Reviews By FAQ'. So here it goes.

What was the main reason this movie was worth your popcorn?

I liked the story about friendship. The old men, two totally different people, built up this great friendship. Which might be more important than the rest of their life. Besides that, it was just a well done feel good movie. And since I do the Pink Popcorn Friday, I like happy endings. I also liked all the little things that make life fun.

It wasn't too preachy?

No, not for my taste at least. Sometimes it might have been a little, but it was fitting for this type of movie. If you go with the flow of the movie, you won't mind at all.

What kind of people will like this movie?

Probably the kind of people who like the Pink Popcorn movies as well. But it is actually right for everyone who likes to see a movie that makes you feel good and appreciate life a bit more. You never know when it will end, so just make the best of it.

So why should people go and see this movie?

It will make you laugh and maybe even let you shed a little tear, but mostly it's just a fun movie with a small message.
