I thought the story was amazing and very well thought out. I think if you were looking for something exactly like Bruce almighty you would have been dissapointed , but if you went in with an open mind to the lessons it offered and the off the wall comedy you would definitely be impressed. I have watched it four times and it gets better and better with each viewing.

a movie that is worth watching...a comedy with serious lessons about family, life, career, purpose. We must all indeed follow the ARK's principle/

in bruce almighty, we're supposed to hate this character, and now we're routing for him? any, other than that thought, this movie was sorta good. i like carrell WAY more than jim carrey, but somehow i still liked bruce almighty WAY more than this. still not bad.
