Jim Almighty

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2015)

If God would confide you his Mighty Power, what would you do? Who never ask himself or herself that question at some part of our life?
Jim Carrey is playing Bruce Nolan, a reporter working for Eyewitness News, a Buffalo TV station. He has everything to be happy: he has a nice job, is appreciated by the entire community and his girlfriend. But when the anchorman position becomes available, Bruce got frustrated because his main competition, Evan Baxter (Played by Steve Carell), arrogant as hell, is collecting the good stories and sweeps while he is doing the low grade ones and he's making a fool of himself at each of the stories he's going through. So when Evan is officially promoted to Anchorman while Bruce is doing a live feed, Bruce loses it completely and get fired. The same evening he crashes his car into a light pole and as angry as he can get, blames God for all his misadventures. God, exceeded by all the critic and blame he got from Bruce, decides to challenge Bruce to do a better job than he does. Discovering unwillingly his new powers, Bruce starts to use them to get his life better. But soon, he also have to deal with the other aspects of God life and understands progressively that Being God seems much harder than it looks.
The main source of fun in this movie is not the plot himself but Jim Carrey himself. It's just a pleasure to see him using God's power against the people around him or in various aspects of his own life. This role was made for Jim Carrey and his craziness. We can see how much fun he took playing Bruce Nolan and he literally is carrying this movie on his shoulders. There are several memorable scenes which just make you laugh to tears. It's hard to not laugh watching this movie, really hard!
