funny, sensitive, entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2003)

Jim Carrey's role in Bruce reminded me in some ways of his role in The Truman Show: He plays a lighthearted, joy-giving TV personality in a movie which touches on issues of the divine and free will. Perhaps Carrey enjoys these roles; I certainly think he is funny and I liked his role in Bruce, just as I liked his role in The Truman Show.
I also thought Jennifer Aniston did well as Grace, devoted (and devout) and tender partner to Bruce.
I thought the movie was well put together, featuring humor and sensitivity. Aniston's character goes through quite a range of emotions with respect to her relationship with Bruce. Jim Carrey, though, carries the film with his humor, passion, sensitivity and his portrayal of a character with an innocent love of life.
