Bruce Almighty - 2 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Many films have been made about deals with the devil,not so many about dealing with God.Perhaps its easier knowing more about the devil,our own sinful ways,than God who we can never truly understand.Not wanting to get all religious here,lets just say I gave this 2003 release that runs 101 minutes only a 50/50  2 and 1/2 star rating is that because it suffers the sin of pride.The idea that it knows what God is.
That said,it's gets the tepid recommendation because it does have some funny moments.How could it not?? God played by Morgan Freeman,the deal maker played by Jim Carrey and some interesting distractions by Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell.However at the end of the day,it will be what YOUR faith allows to see as funny,vs sacrilegious.For myself,I found both and thats why I'm conflicted by this film.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, N.Y., is discontented with almost everything in life despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend Grace . At the end of the worst day of his life, Bruce angrily ridicules and rages against God and God responds. God appears in human form and, endowing Bruce with divine powers, challenges Bruce to take on the big job to see if he can do it any better. Written by Cezzie
