Typical Jim Carrey comedy with a predictable story.

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2003)

Jim Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a television reporter living in Buffalo, New York. When Nolan is down on his luck both at work, and with his girlfriend he curses god. God played by Morgan Freeman responds by giving Nolan his powers for a week to see if he can do things any better. The film then takes off in the usual comedic fashion as Nolan tries to right his own life while ignoring god's other duties.
There were some particularly humorous moments as Nolan works to fix his work and love life. As expected, Nolan's new powers get the better of him and the world suffers as a result. Of course, all of Bruce's efforts fail to keep him together with his teacher girlfriend played by Jennifer Aniston. In the end, Bruce is forced to learn that even the powers of god cannot stop human free will.
