Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Bruce Almighty' is Jim Carrey the way you want to see him. Like in 'Liar Liar' he can pull all his nice little tricks and in the end the movie has a big heart. Morgan Freeman is God and they way he is shown is great. Very religious people might not like this movie, but if they see it they must understand the movie means well and in the end only shows the good parts of having a God. In a way it is encouraging. Jennifer Aniston is Carrey's love interest and she is pretty good as well. Since 'The Good Girl' she is not really Rachel from 'Friends' anymore and for the movies that is a very good thing (I do like her very much in Friends). A lot of laughs, a little too much sentimental things in the end, but a story full with a good heart make this a very enjoyable movie. Also look for the little things from previous Carrey-movies including God's "Alrighty then".
