#214 Be the miracle! : Bruce Almighty

I just caught this movie on Star Movies. And let me say if you can rent it, or download it or see another screening on Star, do so. The movie is a comedy but the take on the profound and on spirituality is subtle and cool. Jim Carrey is as usual irrepressible, Steve Carrell is hilarious and throw in the lovely yet funny Jennifer Aniston and you get a good cast. This movie is successful that's why they created Evan Almighty starring Steve Carrell (Evan Baxter), and part 2 is on the talks. There are no dull moments, and many hilarious and perfect scenes, but what I love most is the exchanges between God and Bruce.

I loved this dialogue on the movie:

GOD: "Parting your soup is not a miracle Bruce, it's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her son to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is *they* have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle."
