Summary: Jim Carrey's Funniest Movie In Ages!
Review: I was a big fan of Jim Carrey back in the days of Ace Ventura and The Mask, but I thought his more recent movies have been awful! I thought the premise behind Bruce Almighty looked funny enough, so I gave it a chance. Boy am I glad I did! It was hilarious! The basic story is Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) has a bad day when his dream job is given to Evan Baxter (played by Steve Carrell, anyone who is a Daily Show fan will love his acting in this!), so be basically freaks out and goes nuts during his interview and after. He curses God, so God (Morgan Freeman) comes down and says (in a nutshell) "You think my job is so easy, you try it." and he gives Bruce God-like powers for a week. What happens next is just great! His revenge on Evan is classic, as is the "love" scene with his girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston). Eventually he learns that being God is a lot harder than he expected, and that maybe his dream job wasn't really what he wanted afterall. Morality lesson, yay! God takes back his powers, Bruce is happy with his girlfriend and his old job, they live happily ever after. I went to this movie wanting to laugh, and I definitely did. It's light hearted and extremely funny, with a definite feel-good ending. Five stars from me!

Summary: Surprisingly good
Review: When one thinks of Jim Carrey movies, one usually thinks of the "potty humor" and physical comedy Carrey is so famous for. While this movie does deliver enough of these things to keep Carrey's fans interested, it also has a enough humor to keep the rest of us interested. Carrey stars as Bruce Nolan, a down on his luck TV reporter in Buffalo. Bruce is assigned to all of the "feel good" stories like the people trying to bake the world's largest cookie and feels that the light stuff he reports on is ruining his career. All Bruce wants is the head anchor job, so when his rival Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) gets the job, Bruce is quite angry. Lacking a better target to address his anger towards, Bruce decides that god himself is responsible for his problems. He goes into a tirade about how, "god is the mean kid" that is beating him up. Much to Bruce's surprise, god (Morgan Freeman!!) has heard his angry rants and contacts Bruce. To shut Bruce up, god gives him full use of god's powers and appoints him celestial guardian of Buffalo. At first, being a deity is all fun an games. Bruce uses his new powers to woo his girlfriend (the wonderful Jennifer Aniston) and ruin Evan's career by making him flip out during a news broadcast (Steve Carell steals the movie in this scene). But then Bruce's actions start to catch up to has as he realizes that his new powers have the ability to harm people. In addtion to being a fairly decent comedy, Bruce Almighty also has a be careful what you wish for element that deals with the consequences of great power. I recommend it.

Summary: Funniest Carrey movie yet
Review: I saw this movie Last summer and laughed through the whole thing non stop. It is easily the best Jim Carrey flick since "Dumb and Dumber". It takes place in buffalo and he's a reporter who gets the power of god. Has a cameo by Tony Bennet.

Summary: Jim Carrey, back to being Jim Carrey.
Review: Every now and then, an actor has to try and stretch themselves creatively. It didn't work for Sly Stallone, and it didn't work for Jim Carrey. While both did decent movies away from their genre, the audience let them know how much they were missed when they came back. In this case, Carrey got the biggest opening weekend of his career. Ol' J.C. plays a down on his luck weatherman who curses the Almighty once he's had enough. The Almighty responds by summoning him and gifting him with his powers to see what it's like. He does what any of us would do. Moves sugar. Busts fire hydrants. Organizes prayers into e-mail. Reproportions his girlfriend to suit his desires. Oh yeah, and finds himself. Carrey is in top form here. As is Morgan Freeman. Jennifer Aniston seems a bit wasted. Steve Carrell (The Daily Show) steals his scenes as a pompous anchorman. Catherine Bell (JAG) leads with her considerable cleavage as a conniving co-anchor. All in all, an excellent funny movie. If you're sensitive to religious subjects, you may want to reconsider buyng this though.

Summary: Actually a 1.5 ...
Review: This movie was really, ...boring. I agree it was funny at the beginning but after it was just boring! I didnt understand when the main plot was actually going to happen because there were little probems everywhere. If they shortneded down the movie or made it less exciting and more focused then maybe I would of enjoyed it because Jim Carrey was awesome in this movie but in my opinion it was a waste of time and money. But, now I know.

Summary: Bruce Almighty AWESOME comedy!!! Buy it now!!
Review: I viewed this movie opening day, as I am a great fan of Jim Carrey.. I was even more pleased when I saw the film was made in my hometown, Buffalo NY..
This movie is about a guy who "speaks to god" and suddenly has "gods powers" from the beginning he thought was great, he could do whatever he wanted and did a lot of things that would benefit him..
He quickly found out that becoming "god" comes with a lot of responsibility that he couldnt handle, which eventually turned into a mess almost ruining everything he had in his life..
I laughed out loud so many times!!
I plan to buy this as soon as I can.. I recommend it to all!
There are some funny outtakes at the end of the movie when the credits are playing too, so be sure to watch them!

Summary: Bruce Almighty is Mighty Mighty Good!!
Review: OK, here's the thing, I'm sat on a Jumbo Jet flying to Toronto on business and I see that on my DVD player I can watch a whole heap of films. I normally have a rule about not watching anything that I may want to watch on the cinema when flying on a plane because of the small screen but I saw 'Bruce Almighty' and thought "What the heck". I am soooo glad I did. Jim Carrey hasn't been this funny since... Well... Ever! This film was written for him through and through, playing up to his stregnths, and using his talents to the max. OK so the ending is slightly cheesy, but hey Its a family movie (although has a few swears in there). I thought this film would suck... But it really didn't, it is my surprise hit of the summer, and I recommend that anybody that HAD considered going to see it/rent/buy but didn't because of some bad press, should re-consider, you won't be dissapointed. I guarantee many many laugh out loud moments!! That's me done... What are you still here for... Go rent it... Go on...

Summary: Jim Carey at his Physically Comedic Best!
Review: I saw this movie just to get a good laugh, and I got plenty of them. "Bruce Almighty" puts Jim Carey back into the genre of physical comedy that only he can do: using his entire body to make you laugh your head off. I see he hasn't lost his touch. Who better to play the Almighty than godlike actor extraordinaire Morgan Freeman (he STILL doesn't have an Oscar yet?!). The scene in the movie that will have you doubled over in pain from laughing so much is when Carey's character Bruce uses his newfound Heavenly powers against his newsroom rival, brilliantly played by Steven Carell. I almost laughed myself hoarse! Overall, this is a very well done comedy that, along with "Liar, Liar," showcases Jim Carey at his physically comedic best.

Summary: Worst Jim Carrey movie since "The Cable Guy"
Review: I've been a big Jim Carrey fan for a while. He's one of the most naturally funny guys I've ever seen. I mean, come on, he's starred in one of the funniest movies of all time, Dumb and Dumber. Yet I sit here and wonder. . . why is this movie so bad??? It's a good concept for a Jim Carrey movie, but it never follows through. Sure there are a couple (literally) of moments that made me chuckle, but none that made me really laugh hard. Previous Carrey movies such as Liar,Liar proved that Jim could still make hilarious films. Morgan Freeman works for me as God, but I cannot see Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston together . . .EVER. I dunno, maybe its just me, but I just expect more from the comical genius that is Mr. Jim Carrey. Now . . . where's my "Dumb and Dumber 2"? ...

Summary: Jim Carrey as God..... We're Doomed
Review: Jim Carrey specializes in being a maniac, moron, comedian, and a lust man in most of his movies. Just take "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber" for example. I personally went to see Jennifer Aniston's boobs get bigger, not to see the dog go to the bathroom one-too-many times. Otherwise, watch it, don't watch it, it's your choice.
