An Almighty Movie

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2003)

What If Jim Carrey was god? POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Bruce Almighty explores the issue, while trying as hard as it can to not spark any religious debate. This is a enjoyable and funny movie, while trying hard to provide a message, though they don't really deliever on that.
Jim Carrey plays a disgruntled news reporter called Bruce Nolan who flips after not getting the Anchor job, he gets fired and he blames God, God responds to this by giving Bruce his powers hence the trouble begins.
The acting is good, Jim Carrey could play this role with his eyes closed and his arms tied behind his back. Morgan Freeman is perfect as god, I can't think of many other actors that can say "I am god" and have me believe it. Jennifer Aniston plays her normal role, though she could have done with a little more screen time.
The supporting cast is excellent, Catherine Bell doesn't get any screen time. Steven Carell plays Evan Baxter, who is Bruce Nolan's arch enemy. Baxter got the anchor job ahead of Bruce and features in the best scene of the movie - where Jim Carrey makes Carell do some typical Carrey moves. Everyone I talked to had this scene as their favourite.
So it was a fun movie, it could have been better but it delievered on what it set out to do.
7/10
