Jim Carrey is Bruce Nolan... a 'human interest' television reporter in Buffalo, New York who is definitely your basic 'glass half spilled' guy. Insanely discontented with almost everything in life - he does, in fact, have everything going for him! He's popular, and has the love of a perfect girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). At the end of the worst day in his life, Bruce angrily ridicules and rages against God – and God responds. He appears in human form (Morgan Freeman) and, endowing Bruce with all of His divine powers, challenges Bruce to take on the big job and see if he can do it any better.

The God of 'physical in your face' comedy schtick actually gets to play God for a week. How popping is that?

And on the first day, God said "LET THERE BE LAUGHS" - and there were laughs. Have to admit, this 'concept' sounds very very funny. The trailer looks awesome. More like the early Liar Liar Carrey we've grown to laugh out loud at - as opposed to the 'actor' Carrey who sucked el biggo time in the utterly dreadful 'The Majestic'. Go Bruce.
