Overall Impressions:
With the rise of The Dark Knight approaching it only makes sense that there be a mole in the people that Bruce Wayne trusts. So here's a film about Lucius Fox making friends with the Joker. Actually it has nothing to do with Batman -- I'm just getting over-excited again, as I did with Batman Begins (which truly delivered).

There are a bunch of people out there that don't have any interest in the Batman films. I suppose it just isn't aimed at everyone. As a sharp contrast and returning back to current events -- The Bucket List most certainly is. It's a family film for one & all. A thoroughly enjoyable one at that.

Before you start thinking I'm a sick sick man, I'll point out that I don't mean this because it's about two people that are dying, it's about their friendship and what they decide to do with their limited time that hooks you. If I'm honest I think these fellers could have kept me interested if the whole thing was in the hospital on the beds, (Half of it is). The fluid dialogue and interaction felt natural, yet entertained.

From the very outset, the humour is tuned in and it stays at that station through and through. I think it's a certainty that it wouldn't be the same without the given lead cast, but overall I'd have to say it's this plus the backing of a well-written story, with simple but effective dynamic between the two that makes this that extra notch above just a 'good' film.
A universally appealing light-hearted film, designed to get those emotions flowing, as well as the tickle-bone - sure to bring you a smile. They don't make them like this anymore (except this once) -- Truly inspiring ;)
