Funny comedy, despite its religious undertone

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2007)

I'm not really a religious person and I certainly don't like it if Western film makers put a clearly visible Christian message in their movies. This being said, I must say that I wasn't annoyed by ''Bruce Almighty''. Though its intent is clearly to make people feel more positive about Christianity and their God, it does have enough funny jokes in it and a decent enough storyline for a broad public. Even an atheistic person as myself can enjoy this charming movie. Jim Carrey gives a perfect performance as the loser that's blaming God for his misfortune, not using his plastic face that often to generate some cheap laughs. Jennifer Aniston is, well...Jennifer Aniston. I loved Morgan Freeman's God as the wise father figure with a cruel sense of humor.
