Bein' God ain't easy

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2003)

"Bruce Almighty" tells the story of a man who becomes God, with some restrictions, and learns that his actions have consequences and being almighty isn't as easy as he thought. Panned by the critics and a mixed bag for the man in the street, it's safe to say that if you like Jim Carrey, you'll probably like this flick. However, what most people are missing are the very positive messages about selflessness this film has to offer...something all those people who submit comments about this film might want to heed the next time they use the personal pronoun "I" in their commentary. Fact is, we don't care what they think. We only care what we think. So, are they thinking about us? Perhaps an occasional reminder about selflessness can be a good thing in a movie. (B)
