Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/vehicle crash/animal bodily functions/environment/drugs/burning/medical

I could do a better job than you: basically; we meet Bruce Nolan [Jim Carrey:] he is a field news reporter for Eyewitness News on WKBW-TV and let's just say things are not or have not been going his way, he begins to question God and his infinite wisdom. So eventually God [Morgan Freeman:] this individual has in some religious text been responsible for the creation of the world and everything in it,  me this up with Nolan and gives him his responsibilities and powers: but there is only one rule and that is you can't mess with free will, yet Nolan is still able to screw things up with his girlfriend Grace Connelly [Jennifer Aniston:] she is a teacher in a kindergarten class [I should point out: this is based on my viewing experience so just in case I am wrong I will apologise for any inconvenience: I don't think I am, but just in case nonetheless.]

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 101 film is good; well it just has to go at a good pace and allow this film to play out and do its thing really

Comedy, action and art; Sam the Dog [Buster the Dog:] he is Nolan and Connelly's dog that can't seem to get the hang of the right place to go to the bathroom, Nolan plays this hand gesture trumpet, these parting of the Red Sea references are amusing and so much more, before I continue I am fully aware that this film is as of this content well over 20 years old, so I have no intention of being harsh, but at the same time I do have to point out that; they are looking old

Character developments and performances; the character developments are perfectly designed to challenge what they need to challenge or/and be [I will discuss this more in my final section.] But it is predominantly down to Carrey, Freeman and Anderson to put in these smooth and excellent performances; be it Freeman taking on this god role, or Carrey turning to a nonbeliever and always searching for more; even though he has plenty in his life; he just doesn't see it or/and Anderson is a believer; she is quite happy, is almost content [she is waiting to move on in her life with Nolan/Carrey and prays for him to find contentment in some fashion. A special mention has to go to Steven Carell/Steve Carell as Evan Baxter: he is Nolan's rival at WKBW-TV and this is Nolan plays trumpet to; his performance is likewise excellent as he and Carrey are magical as rivals; so with this all being said I have decided to change my mark of this film by not one but two extra marks, because everyone should see it at least once in your lifetime.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it challenges I have to be very careful what I say here, but with that being said hypothetically it challenges the idea of regardless of whatever you believe in that it, yet again hypothetically  maybe difficult for this religious being/entity to give us everything we want, without causing some kind of ramifications in the bigger scheme of things; it does this in a good-natured which ultimately is harmless, but the viewers can get its point. This film has a blooper reel in the closing credits at some point and yes this film does have some awards to its name and I think I'm safe to say which I will show you not all of them are positive.

So here we go; 7 Winners that include but not limited to Image Awards (NAACP) Image Award 2004 Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Morgan Freeman and Teen Choice Awards 2003 Teen Choice Award Choice Movie Actor - Comedy Jim Carrey. 9 Nominees which includes but not limited to from the previous award ceremony/event Choice Movie Actress - Comedy Jennifer Aniston and Choice Movie Chemistry Jim Carrey Morgan Freeman and then Golden Schmoes Awards 2003 Golden Schmoes Most Overrated Movie of the Year
