* MsFanservice: Creator/CatherineBell as Susan Ortega is the eye-candy of the film. Bruce's promotion party in particular has Susan dressed up in a sexy black dress that shows off her cleavage. There's hardly any doubt that Susan prepared for the occasion to seduce Bruce since she can be seen looking at him in interest during the party, which sure enough, she's giving him a ForcefulKiss moments after.

** On the other hand, this actually winds up being a pretty realistic depiction of life in general as the main antagonist Bruce actually does face over the course of the movie is none other than ''himself''. He does want better for himself, but in his desperation to have better, he sadly blinds himself to what he has and what he can do with those things and blames God for holding out on him. Once he is given God's powers, his choices only make things worse and his daily life sadly deteriorates worse and worse until he begins to relent and see that he is the one standing in his own way.

Central Theme trope added
Added DiffLines:
* CentralTheme: Happiness and what that actually entails as opposed to what we think it should be. Using his powers to get the things he wants doesn't make Bruce happy like he thought it would, [[spoiler:especially when his self-centered attitude about it all drives Grace away from him when she's had enough of his behavior]]. Not only, but using his powers to give everyone else what "they wanted" ends up causing more problems than it actually fixes, teaching Bruce that depending on God to just give us what we want won't actually make our lives as meaningful or full as we think it would.

* CoolLoser: Bruce. He works as a TV reporter and his girlfriend is played by Jennifer Aniston. However, this was [[InvokedTrope intentional]], since a key theme of the film is that Bruce doesn't know how good he has it. His girlfriend and his boss both point out to him that although he never gets the big stories, he always makes people smile and laugh with the stories he does report on.
