MIX UP REVIEWS:
Jan (Age 11) - ★★★★
"Jim Carrey - one of my favourite comedy actors of all time, stars in this hilarious film. The funniest moments for me were; Bruce's reaction to Evan Baxter replacing Pete Finemann, Bruce first realising he's god and Bruce's godly way of undressing (the funniest part). The story was pretty good, Bruce (the best character by a country mile) was really brilliant, and super enjoyable to watch! I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes 'the mask' or similar. Overall a pretty good comedy with a really good story."

For more family comedies, Pixar is really the best with the likes of Monsters, Inc., Toy Story and Ratatouille. Elsewehere check out Thor: Ragnarok and Frozen for magic themed comedy and Monty Python and the Holy Grail has a spot of divine intervention.
More of the great Jim Carrey check out Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Truman Show and The Mask but sadly he didn't return for the sequel, Evan Almighty.
