jim carrey be one of the funny and most gifted comedian in film today . with his hyperactive spontaneity and his rubber face he can just go crazy and and we love him for it . he have the ability to make mediocre comedy ( ala ace ventura ) and and turn them into decent comedic outing . or and in the case of liar liar and make them some of the most hilarious contemporary comedy around . carrey have also prove himself capable of tackle drama . he be excellent in both man on the moon and the truman show . the guy be remarkable . then come bruce almighty and an ideal vehicle for carrey and and a premise that should have work while carrey and after complain about god and how his life stink and be enable with god power . however and the script be pure recycled garbage . now and no matter how bad a script be and carrey improvisation alone sometimes make an unfunny scene funny . the problem be that there be very few opportunity for carrey to be unleashed because so much of the comedy relies on silly special effect and only some of which be amuse . carrey be rarely able to improvise because he have to work around the special effect . the writer apparently think that all these special effect and superpower sequence be funny and because the rest of the movie be simply filler give carrey nothing else to work with besides a whiny character who be absolutely humorless . he seem more like a 5 year yearning for our attention and want the viewer to find what he be do funny and when it really just annoy . i have always enjoy jennifer aniston on friend and she be superb in last year the good girl . she too have a gift for comedy and but with the script as linear a it be and she be simply give the part of the bitter girlfriend . she come across a nagging and grumpy and and there be no chemistry between the two star . bruce almighty should have be a comedy that work . but it doesn not even have the gut to tackle the subject matter that it make fun of while religion . a few minor giggle ( his internet be yehweh ) and but instead it just turn into a comedic superpower comedy . not to mention that it tone shift from silly to heavy hand and and even black comedy at time . the movie fail on nearly every level . that not to see it be entirely devoid of laugh and but it close . any movie that feel the need to incorporate scene of a dog pee to get it laugh have problem . but hey and if you find pee joke funny and go for it .
