Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, N.Y., is discontented with almost everything in life despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend Grace .

Trivia

Instead of having the unused 555 prefix, a phone number used by Morgan Freeman's character was an actual phone number in many US area codes, causing owners of that phone number to be bombarded with calls. For the video release this number was changed to 555-0123. The phone number used by Bruce-God later in the film, was used by a radio station in Colorado and a woman in Florida, both of whom were deluged with calls wanting to talk with God. The producers then bought these two numbers and stopped the problems. See more »
