Jim Carrey is a true master of his craft. Having cut his comedic chops with stand up and on In Living Color. But it was the Ace Ventura movies that really cemented his place as a true comedic genius. Having other great comedies like Liar Liar and The Mask, Jim transitioned well into more serious roles like the Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think however where he truly peaked and perfectly balanced both the silly and serious was with Bruce Almighty. He runs wild when he is given all of God's powers using them to his own ends, but then he shows his softer side in a beautiful scene when his character watches his ex saying a prayer for him. Bruce Almighty is Jim Carrey at his absolute best. Truly one not to be missed.
