Disappointing, but okay...

Rating: 5/10 (4 July 2003)

Bruce Almighty: 5/10
I'm a big Jim Carrey fan, so decided to see this the day after opening. The concept was cool, Jim Carrey with the power of God! The execution... not so good. The heights of this movie were TREMENDOUS, I was nearly in tears of laughter at points. But like Just Married (only this was better), there were times where I didn't laugh for a long time, and was so of passively entertained, but not outright enjoying it. With a stronger script, this could have been a classic comedy, because whenever he was given something good, he ran with it and made me laugh hard. Morgan Freeman is typically good, playing a comedic God. Special mention has to go out to Jennifer Aniston for the wrong reasons, as they was absolutely atrocious as Carrey's wife in the movie, coming across as phony with her whiny tone. Overall, it was an okay flick, but very disappointing.
