Harmless Humor With Messages

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2004)

In this movie we see a toned down version of Jim Carrey and some indication that he could actually have some true dramatic talent beyond his renowned comic antics. In a nutshell, Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) complains to the almighty until the almighty makes him the man in charge. The movie depicts Nolan's (Carrey) ensuing reactions and behaviors for the next seven days after being put in charge. The end results are chaotic and humorous.
The movie also sends a strong messages that life is what you make it, look inside yourself for the answers to life's questions and all actions have consequences and you are the only one accountable for your decisions. All which this reviewer believes are true and that I feel many people tend to lose site of in the hectic world we all live in.
