amusing comedy from elastic-face carrey with his own hair for once

Rating: 6/10 (6 December 2003)

I gave this a 7 out of 10 for it's useful comment on what people use god for that is to get what they want, whether that's cynical or realistic a view is questionable but it's an honest appraisal by the writers. However I only scored the film a 6 because I'd seen most of the funny visuals in the film's trailer but didn't find this a spoiler unusually so much as to find Carrey's character dislikeable, being so self-centred but what a mope his girlfriend is. She didn't communicate well with the Carrey character. That aside this film has heart which is rare though the characters are an unsympathetic lot, who treat each other badly rather than support each other. A dreadful view of humanity from that standpoint. So to sum up the film makers work :) great theology lousy psychology.
