He gets fired, beaten up, and so on. In the end he blames God. God then decides to give Bruce his powers. Bruce then wreaks havoc and is enjoying it. He sabotages Evan and gets the job of anchorman. But when he realizes that he has to deal with what has got to be God's most arduous task, listening and answering prayers. When he tries to grant everybody what they want, turmoil ensues. And while Bruce is getting everything he wants, he has been ignoring his girlfriend, Grace and loses her. And it seems that the only thing that he can't do, is alter a person's free will, so if he wants her back, he has to do it the hard way.

Studio: Universal

Rating 9 9 9 out of 10

Rated PG-13 for language, sexual content, and some crude humor.

Notes:
Jim Carrey gives a real good performance! Really good movie too, although it just isn't good enough.
Bottom Line:
BUY or rent don't matter.
