Jim Almighty

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2003)

I don't really care to waste too many words on this film. Suffice to say that Jim Carrey plays Jim Carrey in a very one-dimensional performance. The great supporting cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman and Steve Carell, acquit themselves nicely in fine performances. But since you, as the audience, are basically forced to empathize with a one-tone, jerk of a main character, it's very difficult to get behind the phony sentimentality of the climatic scenes. I highly recommend reading Mick LaSalle's review from the San Francisco Chronicle (www.sfgate.com and on the external reviews link of this web site) before you waste your time on this film.
