Good comedy about God and love

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2016)

Jim Carrey meets Morgan Freeman, God, and gets to take on his responsibilities for a while. Jim Carrey gets to be God, and we get to watch that on the big screen. Only with great power, comes great responsibility, that old chorus, and quickly Carrey discovers the burden of it all. He quickly walks up the social ladder and forgets the things that are more important in life, more important to him. This film is about opportunity, and living in the present moment, being there and standing strong before the things we love dissolve out of our own fingers, and no quick fix can bypass our own effort. Along the way there are good laughs, we all remember that scene with Steve Carrell being out of control with his speech as the anchorman, and Carrey delivers the goods as he always does. Morgan Freeman, superb as God. Very believable. It's a well made little mainstream comedy with a few points, and good ones; that lets itself watched. And for a plot and concept this "predictable", this film does quite a good job.
