Jim Carrey’s character in Bruce Almighty might, to quote a song from the soundtrack, “have the power,” but the movie sure doesn’t. There are some funny bits, I am hard pressed to imagine a Jim Carrey movie that wouldn’t unless he decided to do a remake of All Quiet on the Western Front, but director Tom Shadyac equivocates on the movie’s core. For a comedy, especially farce, the movie dips too far into melodrama and for anything more serious it goes way past acceptable into slapstick.
don’t bother unless you’re a Carrey fanatic
