Nice to see Carrey back in his old mid-90s form

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2003)

Bruce Almighty (2003) D: Tom Shadyac. Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Baker Hall, Catherine Bell, Lisa Ann Walter, Steven Carell, Nora Dunn, Eddie Jemison, Paul Satterfield. A discouraged TV reporter who is fed up by God's wrathful hand is given God's powers by the Almighty himself (played by Freeman, who plays God as accurately as one could possibly portray Him) to show how hard it is to run the world. The gags range from funny to downright hilarious, but the movie becomes sentimental and campy towards the end. It's nice to see Carrey back in his old mid-90s form. RATING: 7 out of 10. Rated PG-13 for slapstick violence, profanity, and sexual innuendoes.
