One Word: Refreshing

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2003)

Lately, I have been tied down watching the box office hits like the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, and X2. Not that I did not like any of the aforementioned movies, it was just tiring as I finished watching them.
This film was definitely old-school Carrey. Although not his greatest performance, it had its humorous moments.
PLUSES: Jim Carrey. His is a true living comic strip of a character, and his performance was great. Morgan Freeman was definitely a good God (gentle yet stern, as a loving parent would be), and the concept of being God for a little while was creative. Great laughs - not all of them were spoiled in the trailer. Be sure to catch the outtakes at the end as well.
MINUSES: Jim Carrey. For those of you that cannot stand his comedy - this movie is not for you. Jennifer Aniston might as well be anyone else in this movie... not a significant role in her part. She was the main woman - but the part could have been played by anyone else. The storyline is not deep - but enjoyable.
If you want just a quick laugh - and a break from the 100 million dollar "serious" films - this is a good one.
7.5/10
