Summary: FANTASTIC! Jim Carrey is brilliant, yet again.
Review: There are plenty of reviews of this movie, all I want to say is I absolutely love this movie. While I understand this review won't convince you to run out and buy the movie, let me just say this...YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED IF YOU DO.
This movie is funny, touching and perfectly done. There is also about 30 minutes of deleted scenes on the DVD that are priceless. I couldn't believe some of the scenes were omitted.
MY SIDES WERE HURTING FROM LAUGHING SO HARD...YOU'LL LOVE IT or my name isn't NATHAN ARIZONA.

Summary: Jim Carrey is back at what he does best!!
Review: This movie brings Carrey back to what he does best, making people laugh. He really shines as the down on his luck reporter who gets a chance to use God's powers to change the world. His improvisational skills as an actor is his prized possession. He's is hillarious!! Please view the outtakes and deleted scenes as they are just as funny as the movie itself. Jim Carrey is Canada's finest import next to Molson Canadian beer!

Summary: Not as Profound as it is Funny
Review: Morgan Freeman is a fantastic choice of actors for the role of God. While George Burns (Oh God) was excellent for the loving God with a sense of humor, he really didn't have a frightening side. I could never picture him as the God of the Old Testament. Morgan Freeman plays a very patient and understanding God with a subtle sense of humor but his previous roles in films like Insomnia make it pretty easy to picture him as the vengeful God of the old testament too. Bravo, Bravo!Bruce Nolan (Jim Carey) is a "fluff" news reporter for Channel 7 in Buffalo but wants to be promoted to news anchor. He is up against stiff competition from Evan Baxter (Steve Carroll). When Evan gets the promotion and uses some of Nolan's material, Bruce loses his temper on a live feed and things go down hill from there. After an exasperating day, he blames God for all his misfortunes and asserts that he could fix everyone's problems in 5 minutes. God takes him up on his bet and Bruce is given all of God's powers with two caveats - he can tell no one and he cannot affect free will. The comedic things he does with these powers are pretty funny and is the focus of the film. Most of them have to do with his personal life. However, he does come to appreciate the responsibilities of God and there is one great line - "How do you make someone love you without affecting free will?" to which Freeman's answer is "If you find that out, let me know". If Oh God was a religious comedy focusing on religion, Bruce Almighty is a religious comedy focusing on comedy. Don't look for profound insights into God and religion and so forth. Look for laughs and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Jim Carrey would really make a good god
Review: When I saw this in theater I was amazed. This is like an original. I haven't seen on of these movies forever. My favorite parts were when he had he Saleen S7, my favorite car, how he made the anchor man speak nonsense and so many other parts. My mom was really suprised when she found out that Morgan Freeman was the God. She always looksup to him like a Hollywood God anyway. Also I wanna comment to Steven Cavins, How could you hate this movie? Who the hell cares if this isn't a religious movie. This isn't Carnivale. This is a comedy movie. Plus religious movies are what I could watch when I need to go to sleep!

Review: Not Great, Not Bad... This movie left you wanting more of what Jim Carey is known for. It has its funny moments but did not deliver 2 hours of fun.

Summary: Jim Carey is No God.
Review: But all you hapless fans probably think so. Thank you Hollywood for watering down religion just enough to be a palette for Jim Carey's next big mistake. What kind of sick and twisted God would give this loser celestial powers just to prove a point? None I can think of--but the premise is awfully convenient to gather thousands of brain-dead movie goers into dropping 9 bucks to see something completely ordinary and formulaic. But dear Jesus, how many times do I have to see a scene where the main character is cheating on his girlfriend, his girlfriend finds them together, he runs after her saying "It's not what you think!" (when it actually is) and then he receives a life lesson, his girlfriend forgives him, and everyone in the audience figuratively pees in their pants about it. Spare me the religious lessons. Hollywood knows as much about Christianity as a sea urchin knows about road construction.

Summary: hilarious
Review: Some people have been offended by the previews, as if the film is mocking God, but when you watch the movie you find out that it doesn't. Its very respectful of God and its funny at the same time. I liked it so much that I saw it twice. Bruce Nolan is a tv reporter who's always doing the cutesy community stories, he wants to move up to anchorman but that isn't happening anytime soon. At the end of a very bad day, he takes out his anger on God. A call comes in and it takes him to a run down building where he meets God inside. God gives him His powers in order to see if Bruce can do better than God at life but there are two rules. Bruce can't tell anyone that God is sharing his powers with Bruce and two, Bruce can't affect free will. Bruce goes on his way and is having a good time with God's powers. Its pretty funny, the film has several crude moments, but it also has many humorous moments without feeling as if its making fun of God. Sooner than he thought, Bruce is experiencing extreme pressure of being like God. He realizes that its a tremendous responsibility and soon comes to respect what God has done in his life. Throw in a couple of heartfelt moments with his girlfriend Grace, and its a fun movie that has heart without becoming corny.

Review: This DVD has several previews at the beginning that can't be skipped. How many, I couldn't tell you, because I returned it as defective. There's no need to put up with that.

Summary: So-So Comedy. Better Romance and Morality Play.
Review: Bruce Noland (Jim Carrey) is a human interest reporter for a local television station who dreams of an anchor position. When he has one of those days when nothing seems to go right and, to top it all off, loses out on a promotion to anchor, he curses God for his misfortune. God apparently took notice. To teach Bruce a lesson, God (Morgan Freeman) endows Bruce with all of his power on two conditions: Bruce can't tell anyone that he has God's powers, and he can't interfere with free will. Now Bruce will see just what God's responsibilities really are while he tries to use his powers to improve his own life. "Bruce Almighty" is a comedy, a romance, and a morality play. Unfortunately, it often seems like it doesn't know which one to be. The romance and morality play angles work out all right. The comedy angle doesn't. Most of the film's comedy is derived from Bruce exercising his newfound powers. But these are the movie's least successful scenes. Bruce being God is just boring. Bruce's relationships with God, his girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston), and his co-workers are interesting. But most of Bruce's supernatural antics are dreadful. Jennifer Aniston does a nice job as Bruce's patient and put-upon girlfriend. Comic actor Steve Carell gives a real stand-out performance as Bruce's arrogant professional rival, Evan Baxter. Jim Carrey is, well, Jim Carrey. His physical comedy is impressive. His large gestures seem out of place in a tv newsroom, but perhaps they are supposed to. The movie falls down in being a comedy that just isn't very funny, although its less comic aspects fare better. Recommended as a rental. The DVD: Jim Carrey fans will appreciate the bonus features on the DVD more than anyone else. In "The Process of Jim", director Tom Shadyac, who has worked with Carrey on 3 films, comments on Jim Carrey's improvisational techniques. There are several examples of scenes that were shot many times in which Carrey does something different each time. Other bonus features include: outtakes, deleted scenes, a theatrical trailer, a DVD-ROM (Windows only), fairly comprehensive bios of cast, director, and producers, and a decent director's commentary. If you are a big Jim Carrey fan, check out the outtakes and deleted scenes as well as "The Process of Jim". If you're not a big Carrey fan, there is nothing very exciting here. Dubbing and subtitles are available in French and Spanish. And, thankfully, captioning is available in English for the hearing impaired.
