Review 667: Bruce Almighty

 

Over the course of the film, Bruce learns that while he may not be a very good God, the experience may indeed make him a better television newsman. 

Bruce also finds that the problem with playing God is that when such powers are entrusted to a mere mortal, short term pleasures tend to take priority over long-term improvement plans and answering prayers.

Bruce Almighty reunites Carrey with director Tom Shadyac, who previously him in 1997's Liar Liar     The score by John Debney is catchy, the special effects are terrific and do a lot to enhance the films physical comedy, wether it be Bruce parting a bowl of soup like the red sea or God and he walking on water.
