    A movie far less interesting than its premise. It is also slightly less interesting than its hugely popular predecessor, "Bruce Almighty."

    It's mildly diverting for kids and families in a way that would be perfectly fine as an ABC Family cable project.

    Carell is lovable as God's unwilling disciple. But the comedy is less than divine.

    Carell is getting quite good as these everyman characters but lacks the audacity of, say, a Carrey or a Robin Williams. He is making comedy out of dullness.
