Customer Reviews

I can do anything better than you.

No, you cannot. Yep, Bruce is down on his luck, and we are reminded of that old saying,” Never hit a man when he is down, kick him, it is easier.” After assessing the situation, he concludes that his situation is the direct result of gross negligence on the part of his maker. He makes the monumental decision to express his thoughts. Naturally, in the tradition of the “Oh God” movies, only this time, Morgan Freeman is God, and Bruce is challenged to see if he could do any better. This time, instead of “Death Takes a Holiday” (1934), God takes his. Now that Bruce has a chance to be in charge. What changes will we see? Was Bruce’s assessment of the situation correct or a tad jaded by the situation? Of course, this is a formula movie with the outcome determined before we start. Jim Carrey relies on his “Carrey faces” to carry the movie. These facial expressions were cute in “Once Bitten” (1985) but have gotten a little long in the tooth by now. Jennifer Aniston, of “Office Space” (1999) fame, does an excellent supporting role.
