It was solid. I could have done without the sappy discussion between Bruce and God at the end, and maybe a little less mugging from Carrey, but it was certainly a step up from anything he's done lately.
Freeman was pretty much his usual phlegmatic self, which was very appropriate for the portayal of God in the film. Aniston was nothing spectacular, little more than a plot device for Carrey. Some clever bits about Carrey's failure as God, not completely goofy shit, as portrayed in the trailers. Worth seeing as a comedy, especially seeing as there is little else out at the moment.

I enjoyed it but felt a little like I had just watched an episode of "Touched By an Angel". Maybe the made for the Comedy Channel version of "Touched by an Angel" but stlil pretty heavy handed with the religious stuff... Though I guess I should have expected it as the movie is about being God... I would say that overall it is worth seeing. Maybe more worth seeing as a rental, but still decent.

It was decent. Not great. Worth seeing but far from the high point of his career. I liked the Majestic too but I know why it didn't do well. teflonian did you ever actully watch an episode of touched by an angel? I mean while it WAS less blasphemous then say, dogma, it was far from a religious movie.

I enjoyed it. It had several good laughs, more like the older Jim Carrey stuff. Sure it was like Liar Liar... but I enjoyed that as well.
Dont' go in expecting a Truman Show or anything but just be prepared for some good laughs.
