Standard Jim Carrey flick but there's a message

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2003)

Last night I saw an advance screening of Bruce Almighty and I'm still unsure of my thoughts on the film. The film does have some funny moments but a lot of the jokes are best seen in the trailer. Tom Shadyac, who previously teamed with Jim Carrey for Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective direction is good as always and Shadyac knows the comedy genre very well. But it seems like in the editing the decided to go back and make the film a little kid friendly. But alas the message in the movie is good and Morgan Freemen and Jennifer Aniston give great supporting perofmances. So my final thoughts on the film are it's a decent movie.
