Soo... yeah. I saw Bruce Almighty was on Comedy Central and nothing else was on so I watched it... and overall it's a fun movie... but it's weird.
I feel like now that I'm grown up... if I were Grace (Jennifer Aniston's character) I wouldn't forgive Bruce at the end of the movie. He's kind of a terrible boyfriend and I feel like he learns his lesson... but does he really?
Bruce is a news anchor and at the beginning of the movie he's upset about not getting the lead anchor position... and he's stuck doing small hometown stories, like The World's Largest Cookie... and they often cut his segments or shelf them... so it's not really working out for him. He kind of freaks out on the air when he finds out his rival got the position... then he goes home to his girlfriend Grace who's trying to comfort him and he just kind of yells at her and acts really selfishly... he also goes on to kiss another woman once his ego gets really big from being god... it's just weird. Obviously Jennifer Aniston could do better and... she ends up forgiving Bruce and taking him back when... he's kind of been ignoring her up until he leaves and... he's just not good... so I don't think I would have taken him back if I had been Jennifer Aniston.
That being said- the movie is still really funny and Morgan Freeman playing God is obviously very iconic. And all the jokes are really funny. I'm not very religious, but I did go to Catholic School so the religious stuff in the movie is sort of funny and tongue in cheek without being too religious or offensive I guess. It's just kind of silly and you don't see a lot of these types of movies anymore. It's kind of fun to see. Even though it didn't quite live up to my hype of always kind of liking the movie.
The scene I feel like I was most disappointed in was when Bruce messes with Evan when he's live on the air... I remember it being really really funny... but now when I'm watching it I'm just wondering how Bruce making Evan say all that stuff isn't affecting his free will... it's weird.
Anyway... there's my review. I'd probably watch the movie again if it was on tv because it was still funny... but it isn't quite the classic I thought it was going to be.
Bye!
