He's got the power. But does he have everything it takes to be....God?

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2020)

Bruce is having a bad moment after a bad moment, to the point where he's screaming at the sky "Why do you hate me so much!?" Almost all of us have done it, but Bruce....he's doing it a little too much. So much, that God talks to him on a broken phone, and is just fed up with Bruce thinking that he's picking on him. God comes down, has a quick conversation with Bruce, and says "You think you can do my job better? Here you go!" He gives Bruce all of his powers, and suddenly, just like that Bruce is God! Well, sort of. He's still Bruce, but with the job of being God. You think God is picking on you? Let's just God doesn't have the time to pick on anyone, there's too much to do! Especially listening and trying to answer all those prayers, He's just one person. Bruce Almighty, IMHO, was the very last of Careys funny films, and even this one slips on his full comic strengths. Not exactly a waste, and I thought this film was funny, uplifting, bizarre and strangely moving. A bit over the top in some places, some scenes I thought I was watching Mary Poppins ( CALL HIM appears in the sky, say it aint so!) All in all, this is flawed, far from victorious effort from Jim Carey, but worth noting. Final film directed by Tom Shadac that features Jim Carey, make Bruce Almighty your pick for the morning, and start your day off right!
