Entertaining for an hour

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2003)

Jim Carrey may be an overrated comedian/actor, but it's in parts like this one he's just plain superb. The first 45-60 minutes of Bruce Almighty is highly entertaining. Morgan Freeman may seem wholly out of place - and he is - but you'll still get a laugh out of it if you like Mr. Carrey.
Unfortunately, the last 30 minutes tend to degrade into a sloppy, sentimental hollywood-esque rubbish romantic comedy. The film loses most of it's glory when becomning too mainstream and cheasy.
Carrey's as well as Aniston's performances are faultless, I suppose, but the story, which is very interesting in itself, leaves you wanting something more. Not just that run-of-the-mill ending.
6 out of 10 in my booth.
