Funny...but a little risky.

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2003)

Okay, I was very hesitant to see this movie. It looked completely sacreligious and totally out of line. I heard good things about it, so me and some girlfriends went to see it. I have to admit, it was absolutely hilarious. There were some things that bothered me. Now, all people who have no idea about what God is
are now going to have a completely wrong image of a Morgan Freeman type
character who doesn't take things very seriously. BUT, I MUST say, the message was good and strong. The ending strongly delivered the message of the power
of prayer to the audience. It showed how we ARE reliant on God and we ought
to just place our lives in His hands because he's the one who knows what he's doing. He's got our lives worked out and we should just accept that and trust in Him and when we screw up, He's gonna take us back. No matter how much we
turn our backs, He's right behind us, holding out his arms. Bruce Almighty
showed this in a comical way. I hope that it gets across to the audience the
REAL message in it. But don't worry, it's HILARIOUS! Jim Carrey is showing that he is still here doing funny faces, impressions, and being absolutely hysterical.
