Watched this movie for the first time last night. I was skeptical when it first came out, but when a prof at Bethel recommended it, I decided.. why not?
I guess you have to like Jim Carrey, but even if you don't, it's worth watching for Steve Carrel's supporting role. Hilarious. :)
But my favorite scene, and the one that started the tears moving (yes, even in a movie like this one. Okay, I'm a sap) was when, toward the end (after seeing clearly his own self-centeredness), he had this conversation with God about the girl who was leaving him, and whom he wanted back with all his heart.
Bruce: What do you want me to do?
God: I want you to pray, son. Go ahead. Use the beads.
B: Lord, feed the hungry. And… bring peace to all of mankind. How’s that?
G: Great. If you want to be Miss America. Now, come on. What do you really care about?
B: Grace. (note: the girl involved)
G: You want her back?
B: (after long pause) No. I want her to be happy. No matter what that means. I want her to find someone to treat her with all the love that she deserved from me. I want her to meet someone who’ll see her always as I do now - through your eyes.
G: Now that’s a prayer.
B: Yeah?
G: Yeah.
Yeah. :)
