Miracles happen every day...but when Jim Carrey's at the controls, watch out! The rubber-faced comic is allowed to reign supreme in this riotous comedy that tells the story of Bruce Nolan (Carrey), a miserable Buffalo TV reporter who blames God for his faltering life and career. What's the Lord to do? Morgan Freeman co-stars as the kindly Almighty who endows Bruce with all of his powers to see if he can do a better job. The result is unholy hysteria as Bruce's hilarious miracle working (all to benefit himself) leads to disaster and celestial mayhem! Also with Jennifer Aniston as Bruce's girlfriend. Directed by Tom Shadyac; screenplay by Steve Koren, Mark O'Keefe and Steve Oedekerk.
