Though the plot of the movie is generally below average, 'Bruce Almighty' has underlying valuable and familiar lessons that are actually in line with most major religions including Christianity and Islam.

I have seen 'Bruce Almighty' and personally think the Jim Carey's jokes became old and his acting is poorer than his other more successful movies. And I will not recommend the movie to anyone.

In my opinion, 'Bruce Almighty' is undeserving of the attention it has received in Malaysia generated by the comments of the minister in charge of religious affairs, Abdul Hamid Zainal Abidin, and malaysiakini readers.

But I think all the supporters of the ban should see the movie as they can actually learn something from it if they can see through the surface of crude comedic plots and Morgan Freeman's portrayal of God. Especially when there is no reasons why God cannot appear to us as Morgan Freeman.
