Throwback movie with great special effects

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2003)

If you could take "It's A Wonderful Life" and add 50 million in special effects you'd be in the ballpark. Yes Jim Carrey is funny, yes Jim Carrey is self asorbed in the beginning of the flick and yes Jim Carrey somehow gets the powers of God and Jennifer Anniston to love him. BEAU-tiful. This is a really good film and Morgan Freeman is perfect for the role of the Almighty. Just watch it. SPOILERS.
There were a lot of great lines , like when Bruce asks God "how do you get someone to love you without affecting free will?" to which God replied "Now you know what it's like in my world, if you can answer that one let me know." Pretty powerful stuff. Jim Carrey represents most people in that they are searching for things that truthfully they can give anyways, like devotion and heart to their fellow man. But in the beginning he is most of us in that we would love to impress our significant other in out of this world ways when in fact if they truly love you this doesn't really matter. A lot of good messages in a very entertaining format. The script is really good in my opinion and any actor could have pulled this out as Bruce but Jim Carrey and his comic talent a plenty make this a tour de force that will be up there with the greats.......
