Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Brian Pendreigh

In director Tom Shadyac's zany fantasy, Jim Carrey plays professionally wacky TV news reporter Bruce Nolan, who finds himself passed over for promotion. After venting his anger live on air, he is sacked and then curses God for doing a lousy job. Rising to the bait, the Almighty (a coolly majestic Morgan Freeman) gives the sceptical Bruce the chance to see if he can do any better. Bruce is none too bothered with world peace or any of that stuff; he does what you might expect a Carrey character to do when given divine powers - enlarge girlfriend Jennifer Aniston's boobs, perform a Red Sea-style parting of his tomato soup and pull the Moon out of its usual orbit to create a romantic moment. Carrey clowns around enjoyably in a film that has a neat premise, plenty of laughs and doesn't get weighed down with deep theological questions.
