Jim Carrey surpasses himself with mix of laughs and serious (possible spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2003)

Jim Carrey surpasses himself in his role as Bruce Nolan, an often-egotistical newscaster whose life takes a nose-dive, and in his passion over his misfortune, says that "the only one who's not doing his job is you!" to God. God responds by giving Bruce all his powers, and taking a vacation. Nolan finds out just what he is capable of, and just what the responsibilities of being the Almighty are, and finds himself overwhelmed. Excellent performances all around, a very funny and surprisingly deep film.
