A comical movie with a lesson

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2003)

Jim Carrey is not my favourite comical actor. His previous movies emphasise his facial expressions with a resemblance to Jerry Lewis. However this film shows that Carrey is maturing. Bruce (Carrey), the television commentator, feels that his life is miserable and considers himself as an unfortunate guy. However, Bruce blames all this misfortune to God. As a result, God (Morgan Freeman), tries to challenge Bruce by giving his job. Bruce finds that having superpowers is simply wonderful for paying back his enemies and luring his girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston). But being a God is not simple. Bruce concentrates on his problems and ignores peoples' prayers. When he finally answers the people, the end result is disastrous.
This film shows a resemblence to Carreys' film "Liar Liar", both of which show that what we wish is not simply what is good for us. Great film. 3.5 out of 5
