assignments, that has him being the butt of a joke. When he is
told that he is being considered for the position of anchorman,
he goes out to do a live feed but when it is announced that Evan
Baxter was going to be the new anchorman, and he freaks out. 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.

Rating
9 out of 10
Rated
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.
