Bruce Almighty

-----------------------

Rejoice children, it's another Jim Carrey classic! And it has all the expected humour like all his other flicks.

It tells the story of TV Reporter Bruce, who is at the end of his tether because nothing is going his way, like he can't become anchor for the news. He eventually stops believing in God and throws his holy charm into the sea. Next day, he receives a note on his pager telling him to go to a downtown building, where he meets God (Morgan Freeman). Turns out God is taking a break and needs Bruce to take over for a while. Therefore he is granted Gods power, which causes havoc and happiness for himself and wife, Grace Jones, played by Jennifer Anniston of Friends fame.

The movie is hilariously funny, I almost exploded with laughter in the middle of the cinema. Seeing Bruce do God-like acts in a comedy fashion is a stupendous sight to behold, such as "The Parting of the Soup", "The Meteor Crash", "Butt Monkey" and "The Drugs Bust". But a personal favorite of mine is the part where he is making the guy who got the job he wanted scream and make strange noises whilst he is on air. That made me laugh the most.

But eventually, he finds having Gods power isn't as good as it sounds. He can't stop hearing prayers, so makes an e-mail account for them, but it is constantly filled with spam. Eventually, he gives up Gods power and goes back to being normal old Bruce. However, luck eventually starts to go his way.

Overall, a hilarious but kind of short film. The scenes were well thought up and the effects were good, but I think it could have been lengthened a little bit. But that doesn't matter, if you haven't seen this, you are missing out on a classic. I give it nine out of ten.
