Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, and Morgan Freeman star in this comedy. Bruce Nolan (Carrey) is a Buffalo TV reporter who gets very angry when he's passed over for promotion to anchor. He blames God, who appears in the form of a man (Freeman) and turns His powers over to Bruce. Bruce's performance in his new role is laughable, but he becomes a better person as a result of the experience. Aniston plays Bruce's longtime girlfriend.
