B-E-A-Utiful...
|
Calling this movie a laugh-out-loud classic would be criminal. Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) constantly complains about his problems in life. The anchorman job that eludes him, daily traffic, and so on. Given how everyone seems to allude to God controlling fate and all that happens, on his worst day Bruce finally snaps and tells God "The gloves are off!". This causes God (Morgan Freeman) to call Bruce to an abandoned building only to bestow upon him all his powers. Will he use his powers to help mankind or for personal gain?

| Jennifer Aniston is one in this comedic ensemble |
This movie is brilliant. Without really intending it, it brings together 4 amazing comedic actors that make it a delight all the way through. Jim Carrey seems in as comfortable as ever bringing about another comedy classic. Jennifer Aniston plays the innocent Grace Connelly to counter-act the movie's comedic take on the hopelessness of life itself. Morgan Freeman delivers the "God Quips" with perfection, specially with the Gandhi remark. And Steve Carell shines like always. This was one of his earliest in a extended line of golden performances. This movie foretold of his greatness. It does not stop being funny and the overall story is one with a proper start and finish. All the characters change through the course of it and it also doesn't take itself seriously which only adds to the fantastic humor. I give it 10 golden calves out of 10! (That reference was just spot-on)
