The motion picture "Bruce Almighty", by Universal Studios 2003. Starring: Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman and Steve Carrell.


Excellent movie., Yes, miracles do occur. They happen when often least expected, like when I was channel surfing and came across this movie. So I watched it and to my complete surprise actually enjoyed the show. This movie had humor, a good story, solid acting and and overall endearing quality lacking in most, or more accurately practically all movies churned out of the Hollywood movie-making machine. Jim Carrey was actually FUNNY and Jennifer Anniston was wonderful. Morgan Freeman was commanding and Steve Carell was funny too. The scenes with Mr. Carrey and Mr. Freeman were really excellent, well scripted and well acted, making for a compelling movie worthy of positive attention. There might be some who may object to the movie's portrayal of God, but those objections notwithstanding, it's a respectful portrayal and one which helps the audience to better appreciate the pitfalls as well as the benefits of divine power. Excellent movie.
