Will anyone admit to seeing....

Bruce Almighty this weekend?

It brought in more money than The Matrix Reloaded, so a few people saw it. Did you?

I haven't seen it (nor the Matrix) but I want to.

But I will admit to seeing Boat Trip! No words...no words!

Thumbs up i'll admit it!

I saw BRUCE ALMIGHTY this weekend and it was worth my $9.00. It's not offensive or as bad as i thought it would be, given the subject matter. The movie is really funny and will DEFINITELY pick you up and allow you to laugh - at yourself - if you're having a bad day (or week, or semester).

Prolly won't see

Bruce Almighty. Jennifer Aniston irritates me and Jim Carrey isn't a great favorite of mine.

Will admit it big time! Mr. Adrienne and I saw it this weekend. We were *howling* as was the rest of the audience.

Not only did we not find it offensive, we were amazed (in a good way) that any Hollywood picture would portray a blatantly positive, traditional message--granted many Christian roots there, but much that could be applied to any major religion.

Morgan Freeman as God was genius--he must have watched George Burns' "Oh God" performances a hundred times before applying his own interpretation.

IMHO, very refreshing picture--a lot of people had to be on board with the positive message, which itself gives me new hope for the people in la-la land. . It would only have taken one malcontent to derail the project and that didn't happen.

Two thumbs WAY up!
Adrienne (PNAM-2003)

I confess, I watched it! But I didn't pay! Thank Goodness. I ended up having to force more laughs than came naturally. I can actually recall the exact scene where I really laughed(sad). I was disappointed but not really. I didn't expect it to be that funny & it wasn't. Don't waste your money or anyone else's

If Morgan Freeman is in it, it is on my "must see" list. I will wait until it comes on DVD, though. I'm not a theater kind of girl.

I admit I did see the movie, but it was not as funny to me as it was to the othere 200 moviegoers that night. Like Paradise, there was probably one scene in the movie where I really laughed. My husband and I have different senses of humor and he couldn't wait for it to come out. I should have known that anything that is worth seeing for him would not be interesting to me. I like Jim Carrey, but I've seen him play better roles.

In addition, I fell asleep.

I haven't seen it, but I proudly say that I want to. However, I won't admit to wanting to pay to see it in the movies. lol

I saw it i and enjoyed it. It wasn't as funny as i thought it would be...but it was enough to keep me entertained. All i have to say is ...I knew God was Black!! (j/k)

It wasn't as good as I thought it would be either, but it was okay. I fell asleep during probably like the last 10 minutes, but that was just cause I was tired. I thought some critics some where would have something to say about God being black. I am pleasantly surprised not to have heard any controversy.

I saw it last Saturday night as it poured like heck outside in NYC!!!!!!!! I went with one of my best girlfriends (we're both SINK's; single income, no kids ) and it was something she'd really wanted to see, so we bus hopped until we found a theater that was playing it and it was worth our $10!!!! We LOAO almost the entire time!
