Even Jim Carrey couldn't save this.

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2015)

First off, let me just say I am a huge fan of Jim Carrey. I loved him in Ace Ventura and The Truman Show. So when this got put on Netflix this past New Year's I couldn't grab my iPad fast enough. But let me tell you I finished the movie with a sense of confusion, but not like the confusion you get if you watch a Christopher Nolan movie. This was more of a, "so, what did I just watch?" The plot was all over the place, I couldn't figure out if this was a story about Bruce's claim to fame as a news anchor or a love story between Grace and Bruce or Bruce's struggles with his religion. The writing was cheesy in some spots and really took away from Carrey's performance. Also, the movie got really preachy towards the climax when God tells Bruce that the true miracles were in our control and being able to do the supernatural like levitate or read minds were just magic tricks. I really did not appreciate having a lesson shoved in my face during a comedy. Oh, and what was with the homeless man holding up random signs? It really took away from the story and made it hard to catch back up. The comedy was had its moments when Carrey did what he does best and I cannot emphasize enough how great the cast was. So if you're looking for a cinematic jewel, I would look somewhere else (like Good Will Hunting, the best movie of all time and is also on Netflix), but you will enjoy this as a family or friends movie or if you just have no other movies to watch.
