So... It's Bruce Alimighty.

no very different, jim carrey went absolutely on the selfish tour. but again why simon waited until the end to think about doing something about the real problems in the world is beyond me !! why not just cure cancer...?? sorry terry here and there weak writing !!

The four most ridiculous threads on any movie's board (and almost every film has at least two of them):

1. Worst movie ever
2. This was stupid and boring
3. Are there boobies?
4. OMG this is a total rip-off of... (or) I liked this better when it was called...(insert movie or book with one similar characteristic)

This last one is particularly fascinating, because quite often.
a) the OP has usually never seen the film in question, as in this case
b) the film/book they reference is often derivative of something even older, and/or
c) sometimes the film they're calling a ripoff actually gives writing credit to the thing it's supposed to be ripping off.

This thread is a rip-off of the thread in (insert random movie name here) board.


Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.

Bruce Almighty with a hint of Click, brought to you by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

And it's absolutely amazing how badly it flopped vs how stacked the premise is. "Do anything"- with Simon Pegg as the lead, Kate Beckinsale as his girlfriend and Robin Williams as his bff and being presided over by Monty Python? How... how do you screw that up??

now imagine a movie like this as a drama...that would be fun.

No, It's The Man Who Could Work Miracles.

A Monty Python version of Bruce Almighty.

It's that man again!!

I thought it was more like Bedazzled. Hot British woman, powers to do anything, what could go wrong?

I believe that it is basically a remake of the 1937 film "The Man Who Could Work Miracles"
