Bruce Okay (in a mild sort of way)

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2004)

"Bruce Almighty" was kind of funny, I enjoyed it in parts. For a movie with a BIG THEME (being God, at least in Buffalo), the movie is surprisingly flimsy. I knew this was a comedy, so I wasn't looking for a cerebral assault, the movie could have been just dumb fun (as in "Dumb and Dumber"), but the script was too pat, the ending and resolutions of conflicts way too predictable. Interestingly enough, Jennifer Aniston looks older than she really is (at least when this was filmed), which surprised me, don't they have make-up for that sort of thing? Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman played well off of each other, but those scenes were too few and far between. Oh well, every movie can't be a work of genius.
