Rating: Summary: Very funny... and more Review: This is certainly not what you would expect from Jim Carrey. The comedy is of course there. But you can also relate to his character. I think at some point in everyone's life we have all felt as Bruce did. Not only will the movie tickle your funny bone, but it will touch your heart too. Who cares what the "critics" thought of this (or any) film! Us common people are the ones who in the end determine if a movie is a hit or miss! I think the people have spoken... look at the rest of the reviews! This is not one you want to miss.
Rating: Summary: Pleasantly Surprised Review: After seeing the previews for this movie, I didn't expect much out of it. I expected it to be a cheap comedy that derives it's humor through blasphemy. I was pretty much wrong about it. While I don't think this is an excellent film, it was definitely enjoyable and not as cheap and shallow as I thought it would be. There are several truly humorous parts, and I don't think the movie really mocks God - while I don't agree entirely with the portrayal of God, or the theology behind the movie, I wasn't really offended, and I think the movie brought up some good questions about the nature of God and free-will. Bottom line, the movie was humorous and enjoyable. I dunno if I'll buy the dvd, but it's definitely worth renting. It stars Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Aniston and it is rated PG-13, probably for language and a little sensuality.
Rating: Summary: Great Comedy Review: This movie is awesome, had me laughing non-stop but at the same time makes you think about life when its over.
Rating: Summary: Not what you'd expect from Jim Carrey Review: I'm not typically a Jim Carrey fan, but when I saw this movie, he was great. There was humor, but also a lot of human emotion, which is something you rarely see him do. I was afraid that it was going to be one of those movies that makes fun of religion and God, but it wasn't. It had it's funny moments, but it also made you think. I found myself thinking after the movie, "What if..."
Rating: Summary: Carrey is back baby!! Review: after doing the horrible Grinch and the really good drama Majestic, Carrey is back in the funny shiituff. the beginning is hilarious, without a doubt, where theres the biggest cookie and then where Carrey is running pouring milk into the little kids glasses(uproarous). Morgan Freeman is the man, God who gives Carrey his powers. Jennifer Aniston is great as Carrey's wife. another memorable part is when Carrey gives Aniston the orgasm, funny. another funny scene is when he parts the soup too. Carrey is really good.
Rating: Summary: Jim Carey Is Back In The Saddle! Review: Jim Carey (The Truman Show, How The Grinch Stole Christmas) is one of my favorite actors. So with all that - this movie was refreshing and extremely funny. For those who are not fans of Jim, please understand what he does best is the delivery and timing of physical and quick witted jokes makes him an amazing physical comedian. Directed by Tom Shadyac (Patch Adams, Liar Liar, The Nutty Professor) It is the story of a regular guy who is down on his luck and always in the wrong place at the wrong time. He gets angry at God and speaks to him in a challenge. God - brilliantly played by played by Morgan Freeman (Driving Miss Daisy, Deep Impact, the Sum Of All Fears) is intrigued by his challenge and gives him all his powers for one week. God decides to take a vacation. Now give Jim Carey the power of God and look out! It's funny and provocative. Many lessons are learned and trials are given. Jennifer Anniston (Rock star, Picture Perfect, Friends) plays his wife and emotionally goes on a roller coaster with his antics and powers of God. Extremely funny and filled with special effects and sight gags that only Jim Carey could enhance. Fun for the whole family. Sit back and relax and enjoy the humor. The DVD will be out in December.

Rating: Summary: um..... not what i was expecting Review: Yeah um... this movie was supposed to be a comedy but it turned into a chick flick. Don't get me wrong, it certainly has its funny moments but it could have been way better. The idea of this movie is hillarious. I mean, Jim Carrey playing God is just brilliant but from a guy's point of view, the mushy love story butchered it. If your into the girly movies then this will hit the spot or, if you want to impress some date this movie is a bearable chic flic but if your looking for a slap stick Jim Carrey comedy, do not watch this movie.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie Review: This movie really sucked. It was suppose to be a comedy but it turned into a love story. This has to be one of Jim Carrey's worst movies ever made. I would rather watch the master of disguise than this movie. I mean i don't care about their little love story, i wanted to see comedy. This movie was a waste of my 7 bucks to buy tickets for it. I would think of a movie after seeing it but after seeing this all i thought was i want a refund. I would slap Jim Carrey if i ever met him counting he was in this sucky movie .
Rating: Summary: Amusing Review: This movie wasn't bad. It had kind of a slow start, but later takes off. The story revolves around a man named Bruce who feels like nothing is going his way then suddenly one day gets to meet God (played by Morgan Freeman) who gives Bruce all of his powers. Ok, it's a bit far-fetched the movie actually comes off as pretty funny in places and Jennifer Anniston is great as Bruce's girlfriend. The ending is rather sad and Jm Carrey actually gets to stretch his acting abilities by coming off emotional and does a pretty good job. Overall, a decent comedy. Could've been better and could've been worse. Worth checking out.
Rating: Summary: Booooring Review: This is yet another lame movie from Carey, who got progressively worse after his brief brillance in "The Mask". Assuming you don't find the script downright sacrilegeous, you will still be left indifferent at its utter lack of imagination and the forgetable acting by Carey, Aniston (predictably so) and even Morgan Freeman as an unconvincing God (althoughg even the real God usually has a hard time convincing us). The two or three "good" gags you've already seen in the trailer. Strike three for Bruce Almighty.
