Easily Carrey's worst . . .

Rating: 5/10 (17 March 2004)

This film is unfunny, self-indulgent and derivative. As a fan of Jim Carrey's films, I usually enjoy his bathroom onomatopoeia, sophomoric rants and physical comedy. However, I found myself wanting to laugh at this film with its great premise, but just couldn't bring myself to. Morgan Freeman was quite good as God, but Carrey seemed to be trying to be even more self-consciously funny than usual (and that's saying a lot)! I still think his greatest comedic performance is in the underrated "Me, Myself and Irene." Although he tries admirably in this film, he unfortunately falls somewhat short of his former genius. It gets an average rating of 5/10.
