Summary: GREAT DVD DIMINISHED BY ITS PRESENTATION
Review: Having never been a huge fan of Jim Carrey, I was surprised at how much I liked this movie. The jokes are great and even its message is right on target, despite of what the viewer's own religion might be.
My only complaint has to do, as with all of Universal's DVD presentations, with their forcing us to watch countless coming attractions, in this case even going as far as inserting an "American Pie" trailer with a gross-out gag included. It seems that they are one step away from incluidng commercials withing the movies themeselves. This is yet another show of lack of respect to the paying customer on their part for which I wiil never purchase another one of their DVDs !

Summary: Carrey really cares
Review: This isnt a bad liitle movie. Jim Carrey acts up like he always does with his rubber face but he also does some acting too giving the movie have more meaning. At the begining he is berating GOD that his dull life isnt better. GOD comes in and gives him part of his vast powers. At first Carrey does simpilton things like blow up a womens skirt and stuff. But then, he learns of all the needs people have in the world and his life may not be so bad after all. During his change he realizes what he has is pretty good and leads to a nice heartwarming ending. Carrey walks among nature and realizes that he is part of the un-ending cosmos, he dreams of life and love they way they should be and he treats his fellow man as a brother instead of an enemy. This up-lifting movie will bring you to your feet as Jim shows us all that peace,brotherhood and good will reign surpreme the day mankind wakes up. A day when money doesnt rule us - a day when a walk in the park is as valuable as a diamond.

Summary: Back to the basics, back to being funny again
Review: I confess I've disliked most comedies by Carrey in the past few years. After "The Mask", "Ace Ventura" and "Dumb and Dumber" I felt he did a better job at more 'serious' roles, such as Truman (in "Truman Show") and his outstanding work in "Man in the Moon". But "Bruce Almighty" brought me back into his list of followers. I loved his performance here. I wouldn't call it touching (have to disagree a bit there, with some of my colleague reviewers), but he's definitely back to being funny as in his best of times! And although he continues to do the faces (actually, one of the funniest moments in the movie is not actually his, but played by the reporter that beats him to the position of news anchor, when Bruce -with God's powers- makes him act wacky while on the air), his true genius comes in the subtle details, with the small jokes that come in and out of a scene without you barely noticing. This becomes more obvious if you peek behind the scenes in the Bonus Features, and see the tens of ideas he came up with for a particular shot (where he lights up the candles in the bedroom to set a romantic mood for himself and his girlfriend, played by Jennifer Aniston). As for Aniston, I'd like to see her take on different types of roles. Don't know if it's just me, but the last couple of movies I've seen of her ("The Good Girl" and this one) are starting to look a bit cliched, with her getting into the shoes of 'victimized' partner of someone else. Though her performance wasn't bad in "Bruce..." I know she can do a lot better than that, so please do it, Jen! All in all, I am happy to see that Carrey is still strong as a comedian and a great performer, as he's proved once and again in both funny and more serious movies. Don't give it a five, because I don't see it as a cult classic, but it is well worth checking out: definitely a very funny movie!

Summary: Bruce AllBoring
Review: I give this movie 2 stars because it is not nearly as funny the rest of Jim Carrey's movies. I saw this expecting to laugh so much, but was only disappointed. I wasn't too happy about the whole concept of "playing God" in the movie in the first place, but I thought Jim Carrey's hilarous on screen persona would overcome that. Boy, was I wrong. I should have slept through this movie, b/c it would've been a better use of my time.

Summary: Jim Carrey is back to what he does best
Review: I love Jim Carrey. I'm been a huge fan of his since "Ace Ventura" and "The Mask." Nowadays he's been doing dramas like "The Truman Show" and "The Majestic." There not bad, just many people prefer him doing comedies, and I agree with them. This very funny comedy has Carrey being cast as a Canadian TV reporter doing crappy journal pieces on the air. He's basically failing as a reporter and questions God why bad things happen to him. He is then visited by God Almighty(Morgan Freeman)himself and gives Bruce Nolan(Carrey) his job while he goes on break. The once-angry Bruce can now do anything he wants with God's miraculious powers. Jennifer Aniston brings comic relief to the proceedings as well as Freeman. Carrey is back to what does best, a comedy. "Bruce Almighty" may be a little low-brow and the jokes are somewhat dated and predictable. The film, as a whole, is still funny and sweet and there's a hidden message in this and it's that no one can't take God's place. NO ONE!

Summary: The Great Bruce Almighty
Review: Bruce Almighty is the story of a man who strugles with God. For Bruce to see "the light" God gives Bruce his powers. Through out the movie Bruce uses the powers selfishly. Till one day he realizes what pain its causing others. He realizes how God sees each and everyone of us.

Summary: great if you're a toothless simpleton
Review: ahh,what low brow entertainment does for the mind eh..... perhaps im being too harsh,the film isnt trying to be anything else than sugar coated doggy do do.the basic plot is thus; a gentleman loses his girlfriend and things aint goin too well down ont' farm.so nice mr god comes and helps him.yeah he messes up his big break to be the flagship tv presenter.so queue lots of "ohh,all this power and no responsibility" "infinite power but cant get my girl back" type storylines which have been done to death.then the corpse is beaten violently. the main theme of the story is one of learning to be happy with yourself,and if you help others you will be a better person. both of which are true,yes,but have been beaten with a stick to a bloody death. if you like slushy,sentimental guff then this film is for you!!! but if like me you prefer to have something approaching free thoughts,then steer clear. "why did you go and see it?", you bark smugly.well i was with a girl and thats what she wanted to see!! it went badly though,i wonder why.............

Summary: Outrageously Halarious!!!
Review: This movie was one of a kind! I think it was very funny and had a lot of power to it!! I own it myself.
Jim Carrey (Bruce) plays a reporter who believes the entire universe is against him. In a life altering encounter, God appears (played by Morgan Freeman) and gives Bruce all of his powers. Bruce takes things a little out of proportion and realizes that he needs to go back to reality before anything else gets out of hand. This movie features Jim Carrey at his best!! Very good buy and fun for the whole family!! Overall, Morgan Freeman plays an awesome God and does the role really well! Jennifer Aniston plays Bruce's wife, and she does a fantastic job of putting up with all of his mishaps! Their dog makes for a cute accent to the movie too! :) The deleted scenes are great and the outtakes are one of the best parts of the DVD! Halariously funny comedy!

Summary: Pleasant but uninspired
Review: This was a letdown for me. I expected more funny parts, but almost all of those are shown in the trailer. Jim Carrey is funny, but in a predictable way. The storyline does not develop the premise very much; it just follows the path of least resistance. Not a stinker, but nothing special. If you want to watch a movie that covers somewhat similar territory far more effectively, rent "Groundhog Day."

Summary: Fine movie, poor DVD
Review: I recently purchased this DVD, but I am going to return it for one reason -- this is the first DVD that I have owned that has unskippable DVD movie trailers at the beginning. It was bad enough on video-cassettes where you had to fast-forward 5-10 minutes of tape, but on DVD you are now forced to watch them (unless you wish to leave the room). Speak up and let Universal know this is unacceptable -- DO NOT buy this DVD. As for the movie itself, if you like Jim Carrey then you will no doubt enjoy this picture; he hasn't lost a step..
