Very disappointed with this one. Saw the trailer before its release a few years ago and liked the look of it, but it failed my expectations spectalularly. A 'meaning 0f life' exploration about two terminal cancer patients (Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman); I thought it would be a really good drama. I can't quite pinpoint its biggest fault but I found this to be a really weak, boring movie.
The characters were undeveloped and one-dimensional and the dialogue was poor, as if the two leads were only ever making small-talk. The story had potential but the whole movie just seemed really fake and I found I didn't really care about it or its characters. At the end of the movie I thought it was only halfway through and that much more drama would unfold, but it didn't, and I simply thought "is that it?" To make matters worse, the jokes were not funny at all. 3/10
