The Bucket List (2007 Rob Reiner)

This film must be quite well directed, I mused, half way through it. There's nothing annoying about it, no tricky shots. That was before I realised it was Mr Reiner, who has taken the advice of the greats (perhaps his father being one of them). Justin Zackham screenplay is OK, nothing great. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are the bucketeers, with Sean Hayes (Will and Grace) in support. Rest of cast redundant.

Shot by John Schwartzman. You get the distinct feeling that none of the location shots are real.
