Carrey preaching the gospel, strange mix, but neat movie!

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2003)

I love Jim Carrey, but the trailer bugged me a bit -- Yikes! Looked a little blasphemous to me. And with my viewpoint as a conservative Christian, I guess it was a bit sacreligious. But as my aunt used to say when I was growing up, "sometimes we've just got to close our ears during the bad parts".
So, that's what I did and I have to say -- I loved this movie! It addressed a lot of real questions, such as -- What would happen if you could get ANYTHING you want -- would it really make you happy? Do you have to die to your old life to live a new one? Is it really better to give than receive? Is God really punishing me when things go bad? How do you get someone to love without messing with the free will thing? and on and on.

I was stimulated mentally and laughed my head off. I give it 9 out of 10. (P.S. Like the way Albert Hitchcock had a "trademark" cameo appearance, I think Carrey has developed a "trademark" of "accidently" sticking his butt in someone's face at least once in each of most of his movies.)
