Amusing movie but terrible editing

Rating: 6/10 (13 June 2003)

This movie was amusing and cute, with several clever details coming in after Bruce was given his powers. In the beginning, Jim was a little over the top when one considered that this character was supposed to be a fairly normal person (as opposed to the mask or ace ventura), but somehow he makes it work. B-E-A-Utiful was stupid. Note to Jim Carrey and agent: he doesn't ALWAYS need a catchy line (All righty then, sssmookin) to pull off a movie. My only real complaint about the film, however, was some of the worst editing I have ever seen in a movie. I counted painfully obvious boom mikes appearing at the top of the screen at least six times, including set cutouts for the ceiling of his and J.Aniston's apartment. Also, during the scene where he meets god on top of Mt. Everest, there are taped 'X's on the backdrop in several scenes. Terrible. Overall, a 6/10.
