Unique and fun

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2015)

What would happen if a normal person got given god-like powers? That's the question this movie revolves around as Bruce, a down on his luck news reporter finds himself with said powers after he blames his misfortune on God. As Bruce comes to terms with his powers, he does what everyone would do- improve their life massively. Hilarity ensues, with monkeys coming out of butts, traffic clearing instantly, etc. Along with all the gags scattered throughout the film, it also gives a good insight into what would occur if someone came across such power, making you question if it really is such a good thing. This is clearly Jim Carrey at his finest- he expertly slips into the role of Bruce as if he was born for this role. The cast is great and the writing is greater- this movie is definitely worth viewing just to see Jim's character become overwhelmed with power. 8/10
