Jim Carrey vehicle

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2013)

Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a disgruntled small TV reporter in Buffalo. Everything seems to be going against him, and he rages against God (Morgan Freeman). To teach him a lesson, God endows Bruce with all his powers. Jennifer Aniston plays his girlfriend Grace Connelly.
Jim Carrey's manic behavior can be quite grating. He's not that likable at the start. He is full of himself, and does too much complaining. Once he gets his powers, his attics are much more funnier. He and Jennifer Aniston are actually fun together.
This movie is funnier as a premise. When you get down to it, Bruce is selfish. The constant referencing of 'It's a Wonderful Life' just reminds me how much nicer George Bailey is. Bruce is no George Bailey.
