Carrey returns to his zany, manic roots in this
Capraesque comedy from director Tom Shadyac (ACE
VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE and LIAR LIAR). Carrey stars as
Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, New York
who lives a normal life with his sweet girlfriend Grace
(Jennifer Aniston) But Bruce isn't satisfied, and after a
particularly bad day where everything goes wrong, he
blames God. After spewing a tirade of curses God's way,
God (Morgan Freeman in a gentlemanly white suit)
responds and challenges Bruce to take over and see if he
can run things better. Of course, there are some
conditions; Bruce can only have the "almighty"
powers for 24 hours and only in the Buffalo area. This
doesn't stop Bruce, and he responds to his newfound
powers with selfish, childlike zeal. Like a kid in a
candy store, Bruce sets off making one hysterical, yet
disastrous, decision after another. He pulls the moon
closer to the earth so he can have a more romantic
evening with Grace, unaware that his actions cause a
tidal wave in Japan and responds to the prayers of the
world with a mass-email "yes" that creates
millions of lottery winners, riots, and mayhem.
Ultimately, Bruce proves he is only human, and cannot
possibly fill God's shoes, although he has a great time
trying!!
