Rating:
I would give this movie 4 out of 10 for not being very funny! I like both Jennifer Aniston and Ben stiller but I just didn’t enjoy watching this movie, I found it to be kind of boring. Not a lot of excitement at all! Ben stiller is usually a lot more comedic then he is in Along Came Polly!

Are you looking for a funny movie on Netflix? Read this summary of Bruce Almighty

Summary:

The movie Bruce Almighty stars Jim Carry, who in the movie is named Bruce. He has a girlfriend named Grace who is played by Jennifer Aniston. Bruce works for the news in covering media stories and works hard to become a news anchor. When he finally gets the job as a news anchor it does not last long. His enemy co-worker gets promoted and ends up taking his job. Bruce becomes furious and complains to God, played by Morgan Freeman for what had happened. God answers to his and gives him his powers to see if Bruce could do a better job, but the powers had to be kept secret from everyone else.  He overdoes his privilege by using the powers for his own personal things. As the movie goes on he begins to hear noises from people who are saying prayers and only get worse he is overwhelmed as he finds out how difficult the job of God is. He ends up losing Grace as well. Later on he hears a prayer from Grace that really made his want her back. He tells God his job is too hard to handle and wants his normal life back. Grace and Bruce united again.

Rate:
I would give Bruce Almighty 5 out of 10. There were points that made me laugh throughout the movie but nothing that I found to be extremely funny. I can say I surely, will be interested in watching the sequel.
