Bruce Almighty
2003
**½
Director: Tom Shadyac
Cast: Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman, Philip Baker Hall, Steve Carell, Catherine Bell, Lisa Ann Walter
When things don't go his way, a self-centered TV reporter named Bruce is convinced that it's God's fault. To illustrate the complexity of His work, God decides to give Bruce divine powers. The premise is promising, but it sadly doesn't lead to anything too deep or inventive. This safe comedy doesn't dare to take risks or ask questions about the nature of man or God. Instead it offers some cute gags and predictable life lessons. However, there are some laughs along the way. Followed by Evan Almighty without Jim Carrey.
