Bruce Almighty
Adrian’s Rating: 8
I do love this film. The comedy is great, even if Jim Carrey can be a bit over the top at times and the general style of the film is written to support this (which stops this from being a 10 for me.) The real gem, however, is that underneath the fun of watching Jim Carrey’s character Bruce Nolan come to grips with the powers he has been given, there are some serious life lessons to learn and reflect upon:
- Actions have consequences
- What people want and what they need are rarely one and the same
- There is no use in asking for signs if you are going to ignore them
- You can’t expect to stand in the middle of the highway and live to tell about it
It is this juxtaposition that really does it for me. Watch and enjoy!
