Senor Ding Dong Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Who thinks that this movie has what it takes to be hilarious? I do, seeing as how the same guy who directed "Liar Liar" is directing this. I'm sure the walking on water scene wil;l piss some republicans off, for sure. So, who is seeing Jim Carrey's Latest comedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Oh no. You just made a republican reference. *waits for Gokents to turn this into something political* :rolleyes: Seriously, though. This looks like a funny movie. Jim has a lot to make up for ever since the "Cable Guy" incident. His movies are funnier when they're less realistic, and this looks like it's going to be one of his better films. Hmm. Suddenly, I feel like watching "Once Bitten."

Guest Steiner Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Im dieing to see this movie i havnt had a good dose of Carrey since his classic Ace venturer days, *looks at his ace venturer dvd and laughs lol.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 It will be great to see Carrey after his long hiatus in comedy. The last time I saw him was in "Me, Myself and Irene", and "The Cable Guy" before that (am I the only one who like it?) I can't believe the guy is 41. I always saw him as a 30, or a 28.

Arkadyz Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 [size=1][color=seagreen][i]Yeah i im looking forward to this one too...Ive loved everything jim has done(and yes that includes cable guy and the majestic :p ) I really hope its as funny as it looks...Ofcourse i know jim cant be anything but funny...Its just his nature :D [/i][/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Why would walking on water piss off Republicans instead of religious fanatics? Okay. I'm actually surprised I haven't heard anyone complain about Morgan Freeman being God. I figured that would annoy some random person by now. Anyway, it looks decent. The Jim Carrey scenes look fun, but some of the other stuff makes me not want to see it. The dog sitting on the toilet reading a paper especially. It makes me roll my eyes and think "another of these movies??," which would put it on the same level as Daddy Daycare (ugh)... Thankfully, it looks much, much better.

Change Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I've seen the extended trailer an it looks great. This will probably be Jim CArey's funiest role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Actually Daddy Daycare looks hilarious---no? Okay. :shrugs: Yeah, so, I'm not too excited about this movie. The concept just doesn't do it for me. If anything, this film will rely on a shopping list of gags that doll up a predictable plot. Jim Carrey is probably the best physical comedian there is, even surpassing the likes of Steve Martin, but if the trailer serves as any indication of the overall quality of this film, it'll take God herself to make this one worth seeing.

TheShinje Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] heh, This movie looks really funny. I'm definately seeing this one when it comes out in theaters.

[/b][/QUOTE] I quite enjoy the Idea of Morgan Freeman being God, I mean, if it were true that God was African American, think of how the KKK would feel lol. and besides, countless christian movies portray various actora as jesus or God, I don't see why there would be a special exemption for the secular world, other than getting peoiple thinking about God, Maybe the special DVD features willl include a "be God for a day" heh.

WW2 Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I can't wait to see this movie. I thought the part of the trailer where he rips off his clothes in one swoop was pretty damn funny. Oh yeah, Morgan Freeman playing god is pretty funny. Morgan Freeman Rules!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Ding Dong Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Sorry for bumping this thread, but i just saw this movie. It was the most hilarious thing i ever saw! As a comedy, it gets a 9.7/10. As a movie(plot-wise) It gets an 8. How owuld you (that saw it) rrate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I'm a Republican and I'm religious. Personally I thought it was pretty funny. I think I still prefer Ace Ventura and the ultimate, Dumb and Dumber, but this got quite a few laughs. I think it was better than Me, Myself and Irene but not quite Liar, Liar. Interestingly it got pretty serious at the end. Overall, it was enjoyable. I was hoping it would be a bit funnier but as it stands, it's definitely worth a rental.

Guest Matt Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 [color=red][b]I saw it. It had its moments, but wasn't really all that funny. [spoiler]the bologna a**hole part was one of the funniest parts, along with the zapping with Gods fingers at the end and the van full of pot[/spoiler]. And Cathrine Bell was in it.

EcCenTriC fairy Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 [size=1]I just saw it yesterday and it's probably my favorite Jim Carrey movie, though that's not saying much because I despise Jim Carrey. :p[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorphous Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 that movie was great I saw it on the opening night. I dont believe I have seen a funnier movie then that in forever. I laughed pretty hard during that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 First we had cigar-chumping, laugh-a-minute George Burns as God in "Oh God!" and "Oh God 2" Then there was Alanis Morisette as God in "Dogma" Now Morgan Freeman in "Bruce Almighty". Personally, Jim was, as usual, at his best, but the movie it self fell short of originality. Of course you can figure out even before reaching your aisle seat that he's going to screw things up, using his power for personal gain, and ruining civilization. Most of the greatness to this story comes from the gags, rather than the plot. Where else can you see [spoiler] a monkey pop out of a gangster's ***, or Jim part of a bowl of soup like the red sea. The ending was actually a near tearjerker compared to most of Carrey's other movies, but undeserved. After all that occurred in the movie, everything should not have ended up so nicely wrapped up the way it did.[/spoiler] Surprisingly, for a movie to be co-written by Steve Oederkerk (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and writer/director/star of Kung Pow: Enter the Fist) this movie is rather tame when it comes to gags as compared to the absolute silliness of Oederkerk's other movies.

Shinmaru Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I saw it over the weekend and found it quite funny, but I have to agree with wrist cutter that it did get kinda serious near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy_phenil Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 yeah, not all republicans.. just 99.9% in the little jerkwater town i live in are.. i'm not one much for contorted faces but jim did some good work in that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Let's not turn this into a political topic. We should all know by now that not all republicans even have a religion, let alone be offended by a comedy less controversial (religiously) than Disney's [i]Lion King[/i]. ANYWHO, I finally saw it last Saturday. I haven't laughed this hard at a Jim Carrey movie since [i]Liar Liar[/i]. It was a lot funnier than I thought it'd be, and little more toned-down than I thought it'd be. If I ever find myself at the movies again with time to movie-hop, I'll probably go see it again.

Lady Macaiodh Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=darkblue][size=1]First of all, I love Jim Carrey, he is the funniest man on earth, and I'm going to marry him. Secondly, I've been trying to convince my parents to go see this with me (going to the movies is what we do together) but my mom thinks it might be blasphemous. I guess I'll have to go by myself. Third, I saw on the local news that this woman in Richmond has the same cell phone number as God's in the movie. Her phone has been ringing off the hook with people asking for God. Yes, I have sympathy for her, but what I really wonder is "What kind of idiots are these?" Because you know the odds are that some of those people were really serious.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I saw this movie yesterday and it was damn funny lol. I didn't really like how it was all serious and cheesey at the end but it was still a hoot, lol. I loved the part when [spoiler]Even was it? was ripping the crap outta Bruce at the meeting saying "thats the way the cookie crumbles" and stuff and then Bruce asked "Do you like jazz? Well let me give ya a little bit of jazz" then he started pretending to play the tumpet but stopped on a note giving Even the finger then said "I could hold this not all day buddy" LMAO! that was great![/spoiler] Ah well if you haven't seen it...see it It's great ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
