Carrey promoted above his pay grade

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2020)

Bruce Nolan is a local news presenter in Buffalo NY, who badly wants to be promoted to anchor: he loses out to rival Evan. Bemoaning his lot to God, he is astonished to discover that God is not only listening, his solution is to give a full set of powers to Bruce. But will this solve Bruce's problems?
No, of course it won't. It will simply create more but, hopefully, along the way, he will gain an insight into what he really wants and, maybe the best way to get it.
Jim Carrey, as Bruce, gets another opportunity to indulge in some physical humour as he tries out his divine powers, not always in the most philanthropic of ways. Morgan Freeman is a likeable God, Jennifer Aniston a satisfactory love interest, and Steve Carell steals the show with some rogue speech.
This film is good fun.
