A role that's tailor-made for Carrey

Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2010)

Not only is this part perfect for Jim Carrey, but this is one of those rare movies with an original idea: Exploit God. It's rare for a comedy to have an original idea, since there are only so many things that can be made funny. Just when you think 'Bruce Almighty' has no more twists and turns, along comes more. To be fair, I think, the film gets a little bogged down with Carrey's mannerisms towards the end. But of course, it doesn't detract from the pleasure of watching Carrey or the film. One highlight (which I found very funny): When Bruce is at the TV Station making Evan Baxter (who would later appear in 'Evan Almighty') look like a complete idiot. Who wouldn't find this funny?
