Summary: The Moose Hole - Carrey is 'Mighty' Once Again
Review: It is amazing knowing that Jim Carey has not had a new comedy, intended for the young adult crowd, in about three years. The man who was once declared a king of comedy seems to go through a bit of a dry spot in his career. Me, Myself & Irene was not the big hit everybody expected it to be especially from the directors of There's Something About Mary while his dramatic performance in The Majestic was critically hailed but the film itself was a big flop at the box office. Though he had his failures in the past four years, Carrey found success in the family hit, The Grinch. Now after some time off, Carrey returns to the comedy scene looking in top form. This time around he takes on the role of a man who thinks he can do a better job at being God then the big man himself. The question is, though, will this film do a better job then Carrey's previous misses or will his trend of failure continue?The story goes that a man named Bruce Nolan is miserable and unhappy with his life. Granted, yes, he does look to have a pretty average life with a beautiful girlfriend, a good apartment and a steady job but he is going nowhere in his life. As a human interest story reporter, Bruce is passed on promotion after promotion which are given to people that flaunt it in his face. And whenever he tries to do something nice for somebody, like helping a homeless man on the street, bad things happen because of it. Continuous bad luck drives Bruce to the breaking point and he calls upon God himself. He shouts that God is not doing his job and claims he could do a better. Hearing his shouts, he gives Bruce the opportunity almost anybody would love to have: To be God and have all his powers. There are just two rules that come with this power: First, Bruce can't tell anybody he is God, and second, he can't affect a person's free will. Will Bruce help the poor and unfortunate? Sure, after he straightens his life out first, which could take awhile. The story of Bruce Almighty is pretty good though it is not completely perfect. The film does tend to slow down quite a bit in parts of the film which can be a problem for the overall effect. The cast of Bruce Almighty is pretty good for the most part. Jim Carrey is once again in top form as the lead character in the film. Carrey's dramatic emotions like he used in films like The Majestic actually come into use in parts of the film when serious issues are dealt with. The fact that Carrey can be so fun and then change unnoticeably into a serious state makes him an outstanding actor that is rarely seen in comedy today. Morgan Freeman is the perfect fit as God. Freeman, who has appeared in such dramatic films as Deep Impact and The Sum of All Fears, has rarely been seen in a comedy especially with the likes of Jim Carrey but he pulls the role off perfectly. Freeman's comic timing is so perfect that you wouldn't believe that he hasn't performed in many comedies. Hopefully the film's success will give him more reason to test the genre. The only real problem with the cast would be Jennifer Aniston. Granted she does look pretty in the film and presents some emotion in the film, she really does show any exceptional acting talent. For most of the film either she is crying or showing no emotion what-so-ever. She really doesn't present something to the character that the audience hasn't seen before or different from her character on Friends. Perhaps she should just stick with roles like The Good Girl, which was a critical success for her, because her comedic acting is not anything to laugh at. Overall, Bruce Almighty is another good comedic popcorn flick but nothing extraordinary. There are too many small problems that plague the film to give it huge approval. The story is good but like it was said earlier, it is not spectacular. There are many funny elements within the course of the film but the story strays into too many moments where it just falls flat while the audience waits for the next hilarious moment to appear. While talking on the subject of jokes, when is Carrey going to get off the fart and potty humor to get laughs. There are a lot of moments where he uses witty lines and such to make the audience laugh but then later in the film strays into making fart noises interrupting a news anchor. Another problem with the plot of the film is that when it does go to the serious moments, it becomes way too sappy and pushes away a lot of the audience that just came for the comedy. If you have seen any romantic comedy before this film, you basically know how it ends. Most of the film is too predictable which sort of hurts it. Not to say the film is not funny. Jim Carrey saves the day for most of the film while Morgan Freeman helps with his rarely seen comedic whit. Bruce Almighty doesn't even come close to The Matrix Reloaded but does give some laughs for those too young to see the big hit sequel.

Summary: Laugh out loud comedy.
Review: Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey)is a television reporter in Buffalo, N.Y. He is very unhappy with nearly everything in life despite the love of his girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston). At the end of the worst day of his life, Bruce angrily ridicules and rages against God. This time though, God responds and appears in human form (Morgan Freeman) endowing Bruce with divine powers.Bruce then wreaks havoc and is enjoying it. He sabotages the new TV Anchorman and gets his job. Then Bruce realizes that he has to deal with what has got to be God's most arduous task, listening and answering prayers. When he tries to grant everybody what they want, turmoil ensues. While Bruce is getting everything he wants, he has been ignoring his girlfriend, Grace and loses her. It seems that the only thing that he can't do, is alter a person's free will, so if he wants her back, he has to do it the hard way. This was a funny movie, but I'm not a big Jim Carrey fan.

Summary: Delightful Comedy from the Team of "Liar Liar"
Review: Bruce Almighty is clearly inspired by one Frank Capra film you will see in this film itself. I don't say 'steal' because Jim Carrey plays a uniquely hilarious and delightful loser-turned-winner of life (so he thinks), whose charm is so irresistible. Just don't think too much about the film's predictable nature. Bruce Nolan is working at a local TV station in Buffalo, where he is a kind of celebrity because of his crazy style of 'reporting' the people and news. And today, he is standing before the camera, telling the story of a boat at Niagara Falls. Sad thing is, another guy is promoted to the position of anchor which Bruce coveted. Bruce is depressed, so depresed that he starts to blame God for what God did, or did not. Suppose God really heard the words, and appeared in the shape of Morgan Freeman who proposes: "How about doing my jobs?" The premise is so Capra-like that you can see Jimmy Stewart in Bruce's character when this now alimighy guy 'pulls' the moon for his love Jennifer Aniston. But the strength of "Bruce Almighy" lies in elsewhere; that's Jim Carrey's funny performance as Bruce. This time, without the "Mask," Bruce can do anything, which means you will be watching many silly ideas realize in the real world, which only Jim can do or think about. Of course, this is nothing subtle or intelligent, but it is good to see him un-Grinch himself. It is obvious that Bruce is dealing with the power which is more than he can handle. Like Capra (sorry again), the film has its darker side implied, but that is restriced to the minimum amount. The ending is certainly sugar-coated, but it is better than the butterfly and spaghetti scenes of "Patch Adams." I am not particularly a fan of Tom Shadyac, but in my book this is one of his better films, possibly this side of "Liar Liar." It is true that the film should have been made with more calculated skills; think about Bruce who lives with Jennifer Aniston in a pretty decent room. Hey, who's gonnna complain with the life with lovely Aniston, I say? Not Brad Pitt. Not me. There are many other things which the film should not have done, but still I like "Bruce Alighty" for what it is, a showcase of Jim Carrey's comic sense. And Steven Carell's uproarious 'face" is definitely not to be missed.

Summary: Bruce Almighty Rocks!
Review: Jim Carrey is laugh-out-loud with a believably bratty character who doesn't appreciate what's been given to him. When the character calls down on God, God (played to perfection by Morgan Freeman) gives Carrey his gifts and tells him that if he can do better, then he should go right ahead. Jennifer Aniston is lovely as well as the enduring girlfriend of Carrey who always manages to come back to the lovable lug. This movie will lift your spirits and keep you laughing the whole time.

Summary: Unexpected Pleasure for the Heart and Soul
Review: Who could expect such a heavy topic could be handled with such comedic dexterity? I had low hopes when I went to see "Bruce Almighty." After all, God on the big screen has taken a few lumps over the years as the Big Man often gets watered down to an easy tempered, big hugs kind of deity. I was afraid it was going to be nothing more than the predictable "play nice" generics of "Oh God!" I was wrong. Beyond what is the funniest movie I have seen in a few years, I believe "Bruce Almighty" is a worthy cinematic look at God as the much more serious classic, "The Robe." Biblical and poetic license are at play in the movie, but the core messages comes through: God knows best, we don't. Trust God. Be content. "Bruce Almighty" is played excellently by the master of over-the-top performances, Jim Carrey. When given the chance to be God, Bruce jumps in headlong, feeling that with ultimate power comes ultimate ease. He discovers quickly that there is more to being God than being able to part the Red Sea. He learns that godly wisdom is not something trifely pulled out the hat of the leader of the universe. When Bruce tries to do the job of God, he shows his feeble human wisdom, creating an array of hilarious situations on Carrey could pull off. The plot blends sight gags, puns, situation comedy and various subplot interplays with Bruce and his fiancée (played with mediocrity by Jennifer Aniston) trying to sort out their relationship, and of Bruce looking for satisfaction in his job. Morgan Freeman handles his role as the Lord subtlety and respectfully. It could have been easy to abuse the character, but both the writers and Freeman retain the dignity of God without making him staid and elusive. I fully recommend "Bruce Almighty." Religious people, namely Catholics and Evangelicals, will not be offended, and atheists should enjoy the jest. College age church youth groups can watch it together, and discuss it critically, and have a great time in the process. Anthony Trendl

Summary: "Smite me! O mighty smiter!"
Review: When I first saw the previews of "Bruce Almighty" I thought it looked hilarious since I'm a big Jim Carrey fan. I finally saw it in the movies with my whole family, and we LOVED it! The whole movie was hilarious, sweet, and cool. The story is about Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) who has a good job, but he has a lot of problems with his life. Then God comes to Bruce and tells him that he will give him His powers...and the hilarious story begins.

I loved this movie, and I recommend it to any movie fan and Jim Carrey fan. Trust me, you WON'T be dissapointed! :)
