funny...but majorly flawed!

Rating: 2/10 (23 January 2004)

I love Jim Carrey's acting and in this film he's pretty funny. However, the story is ridiculous. Bruce's career is in jeopardy and -strangley- decides it's all god's fault. Finally he meets god and god tells him that he will be endowed with all his powers. However, this leads to many philosophical problems.
First of all, god is supposed to be omnipotent...why is it god has to follow the 2 rules: no one can know you're god, you cannot mess with freewill. By this very reasoning, the idea of god-omnipotent is defeated.

This movie is fundamentally flawed on so many levels...so many loopholes. I won't even get into the Yahweh(Yahoo) email service!!! I did get a couple of chuckles out of the dog/bathroom scene...and the monkey flying out of that guys butt, but the philosophical problems were too distracting for me to really enjoy it.
See this if there is nothing else to watch. If anything, maybe it will get you thinking about the concept of god and all the paradoxical issues attached to it.
