Bruce Almighty (2003, Dir. Tom Shadyac)
Bruce Nolan doesn't think the world is treating him fairly. He is a news reporter who keeps getting the worst stories he could ever get, and life just doesn't seem to go right for him. The one person he blames the most is God. But when God responds, Bruce finds himself the responsibility of God's. Now his chance to make life perfect has appeared, but as he enjoys his new found powers, he starts to mistreat the things that matters the most.
If you ever seen a comedy film of Jim Carrey's, then you know what a talented improviser he is. And this film goes not let him go to waste. His facial expressions and how he says things can actually crack you up. There are some scenes in which his performance feels cheesy, but every actor has one of those. It's actually fun to see the many ways in which they have decided to show God's powers in this film, and Jim Carrey obviously enjoys performing with such a script. Morgan Freeman is a delight to watch as always, but the best scene in the movie goes too Steve Carell, who's 'possession' scene is priceless. If you have any sense of humour you would definitely enjoy this.
