Hilarious and uplifting. A remarkable, joyful movie. Anniston, Carrey, and Freeman are wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2003)

Wow--- a really great movie! As a concept, "Bruce Alimighty" could have gone in a number of directions--- a few good, many bad. But the course the movie takes is charming, winsome, wholesome, and remarkably reverent. It is hilarious, but also was "about" something. I was pleasantly surprised to find the movie was about redemption, and self-empowerment. Love themes, and consciousness expanding themes, are usually met with derision and scorn by some lifeless, ego-tripping critics who consider themselves tragically hip, and somehow "Cooler Than Thou." Not surprisingly, there have been a few negative reviews by these members of the self-conscious Undead. However, many excellent critics have praised the movie, and I totally agree. It is life-affirming, funny, heart-warming. Thoroughly bright and entertaining.
Jennifer Anniston is such a great actor! Who knew her TV gig would evolve her into a real person with amazing grace, wit, and heart? Yaay Jennifer! And Jim Carrey is equally amazing here, as is the always magnificent Morgan Freeman. Go see it with a loved one, or someone you hope will become a loved one. You'll be uplifted and very, very glad you went! "Bruce Almighty" is a total 10 out of 10!
