Nice work, Jim Carrey!

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2003)

Jim Carrey has always been one of my favorite actors. He was great in "The Mask" and "Liar, Liar". I was noticing that recently he's been in more serious movies ("The Truman Show" "The Majestic" etc.) and I was kind of waiting for a classic comedy of his. This funny film is his best comedy since "Liar, Liar". Anyway, the film is quite entertaining in my opinion, and offers a very original idea...a human getting God's powers. I kind of think Ebert and Roeper were focusing more on the bad jokes than the good. (I mean, come on! The wind lifting up the lady's skirt was only in like one scene!) Morgan Freeman was very good as God. A very fine actor indeed. I (or at least my dad) was noticing that wierd thing with the signs througout the movie that the poor guy had and how he turned out to be God at the end. I wonder if that "Armeggadon Outta Here" sign at the very end, meant "I'm A Getting Out Of Here" or something. Yeah, the film was really suttle in its messages.
The idea of someone having a special ability is kind of reminiscent of LL. Anyway, one of my favorite parts was where Bruce was messing up the guy's news report. That was so funny!! The movie also kind of showed you kind of how everything has an effect, and it not always seem as it should be, but we as humans beings should just do as we're meant. Allright, I've probably said enough. A 9/10. Hope you like it!
