Extremely funny and imaginative comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2007)

The comedy franchise is starting to run out of ideas - thank God then for Bruce Almighty. To have a man being offered a chance to be God is a great idea, and it is hilarious how this idea is brought to the screen with Jim Carrey being His Holiness for one week. There are some absolutely unmissable scenes that make for a riot of a viewing - check out the scene where Bruce gets his revenge on the gangsters. But the good thing about this film is that it manages to incorporate its outrageous moments into the plot - Bruce's abuse of the moon to impress his girlfriend leads to floods in Japan - very good attention to detail. This film is something special - it is, literally, a godsend. With a famous cast - Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman as God and Jennifer Aniston as Bruce's suffering girlfriend, this film has something for everyone, and numerous moments in this film hammer this fact home - all actions have consequences. If you were to become God one day, would you use your powers right? (Of course there's an absolutely fat chance of that, though it will be much more fun to visualise yourself as Him after you've seen this.) Truly cracking comedy - this year's upcoming Evan Almighty (which is a sequel to Bruce if you haven't noticed) promises great things... 8/10
