i be seriously look forward to see this film because it seem truly promise from the come attraction represent jim carrey with godlike power be an idea that most definitely work for me . a a huge fan and i be sure he would be supremely in his element with such a promising premise and and what could go wrong . yesterday and my bubble get burst big time and boy and girl and because i saw the movie . the first act ( where it set up that he hat his life and he a disgruntled employee and a majorly unhappy camper with an ax to grind against god ) be serviceable and the second act ( where he summon by god via telephone and receive power almighty ) be great carrey get to have fun with his new toy and it a pleasure to watch and really funny . but the third act be wretched beyond belief . the rot start set in after the dinner scene between bruce and his girlfriend grace ( jennifer aniston and who come off exceedingly well in this movie consider her part be merely a plot device while even her name reek of unsubtlety ) she think he gon na pop the question but instead and he tell her ( on bend knee and yet ) that he finally get his news anchor job and and isn not it so exciting . she doesn not think so . she want him to marry her and see and so she wind up leave him and see and even though she still love him very much and see and and the rest of the film be spend bang u over the head with one pathetic and beyond heavy hand spiritual sounding cliche after the next and until by the end i be pray and too . . . for it to be over . i do not mind the lack of subtlety in the first two act ( one example in the 2nd act and after he get his power and bruce prance into the room sing what if god be one of u and just a slob like one of u and blah blah blah ) and and i be even willing to overlook the amazing amount of contradiction be hurl at u ( for opener and morgan freeman a or k or a god tell bruce he can not violate anyone free will but he do this and a lot ) . those choice be forgivable this be a jim carrey comedy and direct by tom shadyac it aint the remains of the day . or rather it be suppose to be a comedy . when the script writer lose track of that ( in the dreaded act 3 ) and try to turn the proceeding into some sort of ( gag ) message movie and what we get instead be hell on earth . bruce realize the error of his selfish way and he realize that grace be his save have to say it grace and and that his priority in life have be severely misconstrue . all this could have be convey in a far less heavy hand way and however . the film do not have to go into the dumper to make these point . unfortunately and the writer and shadyac apparently have no idea how to resolve the story in any sort of clever and light hand way and so they go the bang em over the head route in hope that we wouldn not notice . they even tack some surprisingly unfunny out take at the end and in the further hope that this would lessen the bad taste . it do not work for me .
