Very Entertaining But No Belly Laughs

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2003)

I wanted a pee-my-pants Jim Carrey laughfest (like the first time I saw Dumb and Dumber), but it didn't happen. It doesn't help that some of the funniest snippets have already been aired on TV a few hundred times, so when I saw them in the actual film they just weren't funny anymore (ie: doggy on pot, girl's skirt flying up, parting of the tomato soup, clothes flying off before sex, etc.). However, the movie does deliver and I wasn't too disappointed. Morgan Freeman is God! That was totally cool, cuz he is perfect in the role, and the only theologically incorrect line that I could sniff out was the part about him being on vacation during the Dark Ages. Funny, but not true if you're a Bible believer (God never sleeps...but maybe he takes a vacation?, I hope not.). Had a good time at the movies, but not rolling in the aisles. I give it an 8/10.
