i spoil this horrible movie:
A Jim Carrey movie seems to follow the same plot, in four cases out of five [much like an Adam Sandler film.] However, I thought I would give Mr. Carrey a chance in Bruce Almighty, and see if the situation had changed at all.
No. This film is just as redundant and drought-out as many Carrey films before it. Clearly, his best work is in The Cable Guy or The Mask, and anything beyond those are just a number in the mass volume collection of which is the Jim Carrey Nightmare Series.
The plot basically consists of something I could have dreamed up for a grade two work of fiction. Bruce Nolan [Carrey] is having a rough time with life, and starts cursing God over and over, until he receives a magical invitation from the big man himself, to attend a visit. When Nolan goes to meet God [played by Morgan Freeman, and probably the only tolerable part of the film], he is given all the Heavenly and magical powers and told to do a "better job" than God himself.
As for the rest of the movie, it's a no brainer. From Carrey's un-charismatic relationship with his wife [Jennifer Aniston] to adventures with his work environment, the entire plot just follows cue to Carrey's other movies. The only difference is that this time he is playing God, opposed to a pet detective or a constant liar. But the staple of this [and all other Carrey movies] seems to be the never-ending quota of corny gags, boring jokes, and childlike funny faces, all of which had me begging the real god for that hour and a half of my life back.
