I don't particularly like Jim Carrey as an actor, but I like him in this role and we loved this movie. Funny with so much of a message, it's the best sermon I've seen lately. A lot of religious types criticized this movie when they ought to be on the street corners selling copies of it. And the great part is that even if you're not into that "God stuff" you can really enjoy this movie. My quote from Roger Ebert is: "Whether Bruce Almighty is theologically sound, I will leave to the better qualified." Well I'm not much better qualified, but who really cares. It's closer than anything I've seen out of Hollywood in a long time. I could go on. Both Aniston and Carrey give solid performances and it all comes together to make this a must see movie. Because it's no longer on the big screen you'll have to rent it, or buy it. Either way see it. Even the out takes are worth watching.

Storyline From Yahoo: Bruce Almighty stars Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a “human interest” television reporter in Buffalo, New York who is discontented with almost everything in life, despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). At the end of the worst day in his life, Bruce angrily ridicules and rages against God – and God responds. He appears in human form (Morgan Freeman) and, endowing Bruce with all of His divine powers, challenges Bruce to take on the big job and see if he can do it any better.
