"I got the power"

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2008)

It's an entertaining comedy with a clear and nice message: it's not easy to be almighty! I enjoyed this movie because of two main reasons. First, it has some funny jokes, especially in the "first half" of the film. Second, its main message: the great difficulty of being too much powerful. In fact, should not be easy to have the power to control everything, because we can never please everyone! People are so different that is impossible to please them all! On the other side of the message there's the point that many people don't even know want they want to themselves, so how could they be God and rule everything? That's the case of the main character of this movie BRUCE NOLAN (played by Jim Carrey).
This movie, and the kind of comedy used, was done in Jim Carrey's measure, as he fits perfectly the character. Though, and in spite of the good message I did refer above, it's a "pop corn comedy" done in Hollywood's standards, so I can't score it more than 7/10 (and a great part of this score is for the jokes!). A story like this but with another kind of cinematography I think I would give a better score! However, it's an entertaining and enjoyable film.
