Summary: Alrighty Almighty!
Review: This is a great movie for all ages. (pretty much) It has its stupid moments, but its pretty good. I suggest this movie for anyone who likes comedy and drama.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good movie
Review: I've never been a big Jim Carrey fan but I like this movie. A few of the religious-related jokes kind of disturbed me... but I watched this movie with an open mind and it was actually quite funny.

I actually found myself crying when Jennifer Anniston's character is praying to God and she is sobbing. So this movie has sentimental moments too.

I would definitely watch this movie again, it's quite funny. But I probably wouldn't buy it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good for all ages to watch
Review: This was a funny movie that was entertaining and yet gave us a lesson about God's love without it sounding preachy. This was a movie that I had expected a little more from and was a little disappointed because it wasn't quite what I expected although it was still quite entertaining.

Bruce is a reporter who wants to be an anchorman on t.v. and when he doesn't get the job, he blames God for his problems and thinks he could do a better job. God decides to grant him his wish and gives Bruce the role of God to see how he handles it. Of course, Bruce is a self-centered man who is too busy at first trying to fulfill his own wishes rather than concentrating on the needs of the people. His girlfriend is a teacher with a very caring and self-sacrificing nature who Bruce selfishly takes for granted. There are some really funny scenes and if you are interested in light entertainment this movie will fit the bill, but if you are looking for a really in depth kind of movie then this isn't it. This is a movie your family could all enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Okay Movie
Review: If you could be God for a while, would you want to be? That's basically what Bruce Almighty is about.

Bruce is a guy who seems to be getting really depressed in life. He has work problems because he wants to become a news anchor but all he gets is location shoots about stuff like giant cookies. At home, he has problems with his dog (yes... dog. go figure). After all of his problems start building up, he gets contacted by God on his beeper to come to some building in Buffalo New York. He goes, and the building seems to be empty besides from an old man who is a janitor as well as god. Bruce is told that as soon as he walks out of the building, he will have all of Gods powers while god goes on a vacation. I'm not going to go into much detail, but Bruce realizes that God has much more responsibiltiy than he though, and he ends up causeing more trouble than it's worth with his powers. Watch the movie for the rest of the details. It won't win any Oscars, but you'll enjoy it anyway. Some of the scenes are very humorous, so comedy fans will enjoy it, and yes... Jim Carrey does get annoying after a while.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's Gggooood
Review: My family and I found this to be a very entertaining and funny movie. While it did have a scene or two that were a bit racy for young children, overall it was family friendly. While not intending to be a thought-provoking movie, it did provide opportunity for discussion about how our actions have a cause and effect on others and the world around us. Overall, it was funny and fun to watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: fun -- perfect vehicle for Carrey
Review: Bruce (Jim Carrey) is the beloved human interest reporter at a local television station in Buffalo and he lives with Grace (Jennifer Aniston), but he is not content. He wants to be news anchor and command respect. After repeatedly blaming God for his problems, the Almighty (Morgan Freeman) gives Bruce his powers for a couple of weeks. This is a great premise and Carrey is a hoot as the self-absorbed Bruce. The film deals with Bruce's use of these magnificent powers and his coming to realize that he is indeed already a lucky man.

The entire cast, particularly The Daily Show's Steve Carrell, is very good, and the script is quite funny.

DVD extras are quite good: a commentary track with director Tom Shadyac; a 6-minute featurette on Carrey's comedy style; 6-1/2 minutes of outtakes; 30 minutes of deleted scenes with optional commentary; cast & crew info; a trailer; and a Chase MasterCard commercial (yikes!). The film can be heard or subtitled in English or French.

Lots of fun, and generally suitable for the whole family -- your kids will love the scenes of the dog's conversion from chronic house-pee-er to toilet-using mutt!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE - A GREAT MOVIE!
Review: Jim Carrey is wonderful in his role as Bruce Nolan, a Buffalo NY TV reporter who is always given what Bruce considers the less important news items. He wants to be an Anchor Man and confronts God(played by Morgan Freeman) with the question of "Why!" his life is not moving in the direction he thinks it should go. Of course, he does not do this in a gentle way, but with great anger. I was waiting for the lightening bolt to hit!
We also have his girlfriend Grace, who is played by Jennifer Aniston. Grace loves Bruce and yes prays for him. All she wants is to be his wife, have his children and settle into her life. Bruce is too self-centered to see this.
Morgan Freeman did an outstanding job of playing God, of course in my opinion his acting is always tops in whatever role he plays.
There was humor, raw emotions, sweet love, and a knock out ending. This movie was great and I highly recommend it. This is one I will watch over and over again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: Late to work = It's God's Fault.
Not getting a promotion = It's God's Fault too.
Everything else = God's fault again.
That's how Bruce thinks in every minute of his life until God wakes him up with a pagers beep asking him to go and meet with GOD.
Bruce soon gets endowed with GOD's power and everything seems perfect at first but what happens on the way is too damn funny.

Don't say you are a huge comedy movies fan if you didn't watch or own "Bruce Almighty".

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Good clean fun
Review: You can't deny the greatness of Jim Carrey. He's moved away from his more "bathroom humor" movies and onto comedies with a little more meaning. This is a great movie for all audiences. It's not fantastic, but it's fun and if nothing else a very worthwhile rental.
