Some laugh out loud moments

Rating: 6/10 (10 October 2007)

Quite some few I'd say. The pairing of Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman seems to be a genius one. Throw in Steve Carell for good measure (and a beautiful newscast scene, where Jim Carreys character is "playing" him) and you're good to go.
The story(line) is simple and there's not much to it. Still it takes some time to take off, maybe too much, while introducing all the characters and some of Bruce's (Jim C.) flaws. But overall you can't stop wondering, what's wrong with this guy. I mean he kind of has it all and still isn't satisfied. While that might be acceptable as a fact, any other actor might have had much more problems selling this to the audience. Even Jim quite can't hold this up. But maybe, I'm thinking too much ... my niece, her brother and their friends really enjoyed this ... so there you go. A family comedy that does deliver!
