A must-see if you're a Jim Carrey fan--with a nice message

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

I admit it...I'm a Jim Carrey fan. I've seen just about everything he's done except Mystic Theater (or whatever that was called). It looked bad so I skipped it. Carrey reminds me so much of Robin Williams. Just give him a script and the freedom to mess around and improvise and you've usually got comedy genius. It's not a 5-star film...It could have been better. However, Bruce Almighty has a wonderful message...which is that when you learn to give to others, you get back riches. Carrey's character was pretty self-centered and he deserved what he got in the beginning of the film. It was only at the end, when he told God that he didn't want Aniston back...he only wanted her to be happy and that she deserved to be with a guy who would treat her with respect. That was a serious moment in an otherwise funny movie. If we could all stop being so self-centered and learn to give a little more to others and to improving the world, we might all be a little better off and a little happier in life.
