Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a TV reporter who gets the crap jobs at his station, and it seems like the whole world is ignoring his talents. His negative attitude is even starting to affect his relationship with his girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). After losing his job, Bruce blames all this misfortune to God. As a result, God, heavenly played by Morgan Freeman, grants Bruce his powers in order to challenge him if he can do God's job any better. Obviously, Bruce gets `carreyed' away with his newfound blissful faculties and uses them selfishly when he realizes that having superpowers is simply wonderful for paying back his enemies as his life starts to improve. But what Bruce doesn't realize is that being God involves a lot more than improving his own life; he needs to help others who truly need it, as well.
Steven Carrell is hilarious as Carrey's nemesis. All in all, a fun movie and Carrey is, as always, silly and goofy, and gets away with it most of the time.
