Bruce Almighty


I loved the concept of the film and while it wasn't a amazingly funny comedy, it was enough to make it worthwhile.  One thing I found was that Bruce Almighty gets better with subsequent viewings, where you start to pay more attention to the details.  It had a strong beginning but once we've had our fun seeing Bruce have fun with his newly acquired God powers, it slowed down and became a little bit more boring.  The ending was touching and felt "just right".  It felt like the logical conclusion.  What was also good was that the film shows the responsibilities of having that amount of power as well as the benefits.  It found a nice balance.  As mentioned, the movie overall was funny but not something that would make you crack up, more like a smile here or there at the slight cleverness and parody.  Everything in this movie just... somehow works and flows on event to event well.
