People seem to miss the point

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2004)

This is a COMEDY starring JIM CARREY, directed by TOM SHADYAC (Ace Ventura), and people are talking about moral issues and "poor quality film-making". What do you expect????
I saw the today for the first time, knowing the general premise (Carrey becomes God), and I wondered for a while what ideas the script-writers would come up with, and they still surprised me (for example, all the trees saying "For ever" and the red sea parting joke)
With the crew involved, this film succeeded in what it wanted to do. A non-serious great-concept idea.
The whole idea of the Carrey-Shadyac partnership is to not take is seriously, and if you bear this in mind, you get a GREAT 100 mins of pure entertainment.
I watched the clock, and was surprised that is was a third of the way into the film until Bruce got his powers, but I was also surprised that so much time had already passed.
The good scenes have already been mentioned, so I won't go into those.
The cast may not be ideal according to some people, but it worked. The 3 main people (Carrey, Aniston, Freeman) played the parts well, and were believable in those roles
Bruce's moment of revelation was entirely predictable, but you'd expect nothing less from this sort of film
DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, AND YOU'LL WATCH A GREAT FILM!
