Summary: Heavenly
Review: This is a five-star movie, but not a "strong" one. The message is good an thought provoking. It is delivered in a professional style. The comedy is good (a couple times we fell off our seats). Certainly qualifies for a good date flick. Be forewarned -- it may change your life. Not by some overnight cure, but just the little thoughts that it triggers and grow on you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious and safe for all viewers
Review: Bruce Almighty was a surprisingly hilarious movie. Jim Carrey was at his finest as a man blessed with the powers of God. Jennifer Anniston manages to shed her "Friends" image and plays her part to perfection.

I want to comment about the religious nature of this movie and let anyone know that this movie doesn't make fun of God or religion. So if you are afraid of that, don't worry, see this movie! Bruce Almighty shows a respect for God that one might not expect from Hollywood, and Jim Carrey is great in the comedic parts of the film, as well as the more serious parts.

This movie is PG-13 for a reason, but it does handle religion and God in a way that my in-laws (who are preachers) even enjoyed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious Movie
Review: I thought Bruce Almighty was an excellent movie. Jim Carrey is naturally histerical, but this has to be one of his top 5 movies! It had histerical moments and touching, serious moments too. I would definately recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'Bruce Almighty' is hilarious
Review: Jim Carrey and Tom Shaydac have done it again. If you liked 'Liar Liar', you will like this movie, but see it if you didn't. It has touching and funny moments, and it doesn't mock God. I think this is Jim Carrey's best movie, so check it out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In Carrey We Trust
Review: After a series of dramatic roles, comedian Jim Carrey returns to comedy with the feel-good comedy hit "Bruce Almighty". After being denied an anchor position, TV human-interest reporter Bruce Nolan (Carrey) blames God for his misfortunes and God (Morgan Freeman) offers Bruce the opportunity of his life. As the new Big Guy Upstairs, Bruce has the divine powers to change the world and learns the great responsibility that comes with his new job. "Bruce Almighty" is a hilarious and often amusing comic romp that marks Carrey's return to box office success. The concept is imaginative but the film tends to fall short of its true potential. The story is cute but turns sappy toward the end. Director Tom Shadyac (Ace Ventura & Liar, Liar) delivers some wildly funny scenes. Carrey's outstanding comic talent is the film's most significant highlight. The cast also includes Jennifer Aniston, Catherine Bell, Steve Carell and Phillip Baker Hall.

With "Bruce Almighty", Universal offers a worthy DVD. The hit comedy is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen format. The video transfer is quite good with effective sharpness and nice color detail. Its 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS sound options are positively enjoyable with great clarity. The DVD contains a fine audio commentary with director Tom Shadyac, hilarious outtakes, deleted scenes and likable interactive menus. With its pleasant presentation and supplements, "Bruce Almighty" gets a satisfying "B".

Summary: Bruce Almighty
Review: Nothing new with Jim Carrey way of acting. Same style from Ace Ventura, Mask, Dumb&Dumbmer, etc.

If you have a lot of time to waste, watch this movie..

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: RUBBER FACE CARREY
Review: This movie is alright I guess, I guess Im used to Carrey adlibbing and making faces all the time instead of acting. He gains some of GODS power and of course uses it foolishly at first. Then he gets the true meaning of life and becomes a good guy. The transfer on my copy seemed a tad soft and blurry sometimes, but the dts soundtrack I used was great. Not too many extras if your interested.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HORRIBLE!!!
Review: I will tell you why this movie was absolutely terrible...Because they wrote to many lines for Jim Carrey. With Carrey, you just have to let him go out there and do his thing, and then it will be funny...like in Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, and Me Myself and Irene....Those were all hilarious because Carrey was being himself...as for other movies he was good in (The Truman Show, Man on the Moon), those weren't supposed to be comedies!!! Those were serious movies which were really great!!! Not this cr@p!!!

This was too written...don't waste your time!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's not easy being God
Review: Jim Carrey plays Bruce, a t.v. reporter whose life is going in a downward spiral. He loses his job and becomes so frustrated that he questions God about all of the bad things that have happened to him. He is summoned to an address, ostensibly to find a new job but instead he meets God (played by Morgan Freeman.) Since Carrey thinks that God is doing a poor job at running the world, God decides to turn his powers over to Carrey. At first he plays at using these powers and has fun walking on water and parting his tomato soup, but eventually Carrey discovers that there's more to being God than doing parlor tricks. Some of his actions cause some natural disasters, and before you know it, Bruce has the world in a real mess. The final blow comes when he offends his live-in girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, who moves out of their apartment. He finally learns that being God is not the answer, but instead being God's. This movie has a lot of Jim Carrey's physical brand of comedy, but it also has some real truth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Carrey Movie
Review: "Bruce Almighty" is the divine intervention Jim Carrey's career has needed ever since the disastrously treacly "The Majestic."

Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, WKBW-TV's go-to guy when there's a breaking story about Buffalo's largest cookie. However, like Joel McCrea in "Sullivan's Travels," he doesn't see any value in merely getting people's mind off their troubles for a while. He aspires to the anchor job which, instead, goes to his rival, Evan Baxter ("The Daily Show's" irrepressible Steve Carell).

Nothing is going right in Bruce's life, from his job to traffic jams. So he gives God a piece of his mind and God (Morgan Freeman . . . who else?) gives him the chance to do a better job. Bruce is made God-for-the-week, while the Almighty takes a vacation. When Bruce protests that God never takes vacations, the Lord winks, "Ever heard of the Dark Ages?"

Carrey is utterly delightful, whether pulling off some hilarious pratfall or energizing the most mundane piece of dialogue. The casting of Freeman -- the actor most likely to be voted to play God by everyone who makes movies or watches them -- doesn't hurt either. He and Carrey are criminally funny together, playing off each other like a classic vaudeville team.

There's some trouble near the finale when the picture doesn't know how to end itself, but that's quickly righted. Otherwise, "Bruce Almighty" is the feel-good movie by which all this year's other feel-good movies will be measured.
