Good Concept....Lame Execution

Rating: 5/10 (7 June 2004)

This movie is so typical of the garbage Hollywood puts out these days. It is a pretty decent idea (A doubting Thomas who is given the power of God), but chooses to be a vehicle for Jim Carey's zaniness (I never really understood the attraction to him.....OK on a show like "In Living Color"....but who can take 2 hours of it). How much better it would have been if Carey played this role like "The Truman Show" or "Eternal Sunshine....". Instead it is just another forgettable comedy. It made money, so I'm sure there will be more of this type coming out.
See "Pleasantville" for a much better executed fantasy.
