If you like your movies stupid and preachy, they don't get much better than this!

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2003)

If some studio head, or person who was ivolved with this film ever reads this, I must apologize for my harsh comments which will ensue. I know that it is very difficult and time consuming to make a movie, whether it's good or bad. It demands time, more money than I care to think about, and the combined efforts of hundreds of individuals. Yet despite all the effort that goes into the production of a film like this, so many films fall under the aforementioned bad category. Bruce Almighty only supports my statement. If one were to read any of my other comments, it would be immediatly apparent that none of them are positive. I don't like to think of myself as an overly cynical person though, rather, I only review movies which in my opinion were overrated. Bruce stands proudly in line with the best of them. It could have been funny, and in fact, some parts were, yet they were all shown in the previews, and so, the movie was entirely predictable by the time I saw it. Not that this would have really mattered. This film tries to blend comedy and drama which movies like Heaven Can Wait have done in the past, and it fails miserably. You don't care what happens to Bruce, or any of the other characters, so when it goes treacly, the hands on your watch begin to move all too slowly. I feel bad putting down Bruce, for it could have been something-yet it wasn't. In addition, it had terrible production value(look at all the streets-they are all on the backlot). I am really off put by movies which act like they are important, and aren''t, and this was one of them.
