Summary: bruce almighty
Review: this is a great comedy but it also has a basic point to it. a frustrated repoter,bruce(carrey) is unhappy with his life and is blaming it all on God, but his supportive girlfriend Grace(aniston) tries to convince him that things happen for a reason. so God offers bruce his job and he has Gods powers for 1 week, and made the world(actually just Buffalo) a mess. and figures out he cannot handle the powers of God b/c he is too week to do it. i'd say this is one of Jim carreys best movies yet and jennifer Aniston is extremely wonderful in it!

Summary: Perfect! Bravo!
Review: If I was Ebert & Ropert, I would give this a movie a perfect TWO THUMBS UP!!! Its excellent! Jim Carrey unleashes this excellent comedy about how it is being God for a week. Not over doing it, Bruce Almighty continues throughout the movie to be a great comedy, with great sence of humor, and an excellent cast. I was so glad I didn't go to The Matrix: Reloaded, because this is one of the best movies by Jim Carrey. Bruce Almighty gives a great cast featuring Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, and even Morgan Freeman (as God). This movie will make you laugh the whole time. If you see this movie currently playing, go see it now! ***** out of *****

Summary: Great!
Review: I do not really like alot of movies, but this movie really broke my record. Jim Carrey has always been my idol and i am a great fan of his movies. This movie is really worth seeing.
PS: When you read other reviews that give it 1 or 2 stars, dont go by that. not everyone is a Jim Carrey fan. In Short - Where other people wont, you will really like it. Also check out the bloopers at the end of the movie.

Summary: B-E-A-Utiful Jim Carrey:Now known as a romantic lead!!
Review: To be cheesy-this movie made me laugh and it made me cry. I personally love Jim Carrey whether he is funny (Liar Liar) or serious (The Magestic) but this was the first time that I saw him as a romantic lead. "I Liked It A Lot." I can't wait until it comes out on video and I am truly looking forward to what Jim Carrey is doing next. Jennifer Aniston was great. I think she's wonderful and Morgan Freeman as God. You don't get much better than this!!! He's got the Power!!!

Summary: 4-1/2 stars -- Almighty good!
Review: Bruce Almighty is a very interesting and funny movie. Jim Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a newscaster whose life isn't the best, and he keeps complaining that God never gives him any breaks. Thus God (Morgan Freeman) shows up and endows Bruce with his powers, and Bruce uses these powers to his advantage and DISadvantage with hilarious and disastrous results. I knocked off half a star because sometimes the writers tried to get too much out of one joke (particularly when "God" is in the newsroom). But that doesn't change the fact that this movie is definitely worth seeing. Anthony Rupert

Summary: Jim Carrey is BACK! This movie ROCKS!
Review: I loved this movie, it's one of my favorite movies of the summer so far. It will stay one of my favorites of this summer too! This is a great comedy and I HIGHLY recommend it. If you like Jim Carrey at all, there is no questions asked: "Go see it". This movie is not only funny, but it has a good moral to it that makes it even better. You could even say this is a date movie. This one of my all time fav comedies now! And it is definately worth seeing! Jim Carrey ROCKS!

Summary: Just laugh yourself silly and do not fully engage your brain
Review: I certainly laughed until my sides hurt several times in this film (despite the fact it was not a WINGED monkey) and I can still at this relatively late date count on one hand the number of times that has happened (for the record the other three times were when the tanks came over the hill in "Jesus Christ Superstar," when Alvy Singer produced Marshall McLuhan in "Annie Hall," and when Barbara Billingsley spoke jive in "Airplane"). Any film that can have you holding your sides to keep the pain from becoming too intense is a good thing (and not all of the super laughs are provided by Jim Carey, to our surprise). You should already know by now if Jim Carey's brand of humor is to your liking, especially when he is team-up again with director Tom Shadyac ("Ace Ventura" and "Liar, Liar"). Just do not try to work out the theological implications of the set up. The movie, of course, makes no effort to hide the selling point of "Bruce Almighty," which is that God (Morgan Freeman) gives Jim Carey (who plays a character named Bruce) divine powers. The results are actually less spectacular than what happened in "The Mask," because Bruce has a very short list of things we wants to accomplish (new car, better job, great sex). Meanwhile, the new god on the block has no clue that his divine actions had repercussions: bringing the moon closer to earth to impress his girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston, whose character also has a name in the movie that is something different from Rachel) has caused flooding on the far side of the earth, wiping out the homes of thousands of people. The science of this makes no sense to me and the other obvious explanation, that those people flooded out in Asia were not Christians, is rather troubling. But then so is the idea that Bruce's attitude adjustment, clearly a necessary thing, matters enough for God to allow the destruction of all those homes anyway. After all, Bruce never really catches on that he is wrecking havoc around the world in general and Buffalo in particular and the only prayer he really listens to is one from his girlfriend. However, none of this really matters during the course of the film while you are laughing yourself silly, and you should be well out into the parking lot before you start noticing such things. Yes, the ending seems a bit reminiscent of "Oh, God," but then the problem with most really great set ups is how to end on a high note. Besides, the ending does not come as anything approaching a surprise and "Bruce Almighty" is more about the journey and creating laughs than anything else. This might not be a classic comedy but it is a very funny movie. What more do you want in answer to your prayers?

Summary: Passafist Reviews Bruce Almighty
Review: My buddy Randy was the first one to say it but it's kind of a philosophy for me now. I try to walk that thin line between blasphemy and comedy. Between what's really funny and what's offensive. Being a pretty strait-laced protestant, their's nothing worse than bad Christian bashing joke. All I have to say is Ha Ha look at that dirty pagan going to hell and I get the last laugh. That's why a film like Bruce Almighty works for me. It's an attack on silly humans not on God. Those silly human who destroy their lives and blame it on the Almighty. It's a morality play with laughs. Bruce Nolan(Jim Carrey), our hero, is a local interest news reporter in Buffalo with dreams of the anchor seat. Except his arch rival Evan Baxter (The Daily Show's Steve Carrell) looks to be next in line as the new head anchor. When Bruce's boss Jack sends him out to cover a story, his dream job is given to Baxter and it sends Bruce into a hilarious tail-spin, which in the end, has him screaming out to God (Morgan Freeman) Spite Me. Instead God gives him a job. Bruce gets to be God for the week, and the rest of the film answers the question what would you do if you were given all God's powers. Jim Carrey's screen persona has grown up, he can't go back to Ace Ventura, so his performance while bordering on brilliant, is reigned in. You almost wanted more from him, to kick up a notch, and it doesn't. Jennifer Aniston as his girlfriend is sweet and adequate, but she could have been played by anyone, and the scripts asks very little for her to do. Steve Carrell is great as bit player. He's probably the funniest guy out there and his anchor desk sequence, is the funniest scene in the whole film. I just wish comedies didn't feel it necessary to be filled with mellow-drama. I wish movies could be silly for silliness sake, but unfortunately BRUCE is full of those needless scenes of fake drama for filler. Come on Guys. But hey in the end rest assured that BRUCE ALMIGHTY is well worth the price of admission. By the way I always knew God was a Yankee Fan.

Summary: JIM CARREY ALMIGHTY-NOT
Review: The movie starring Jim Carey playing the role of a pathetic news reporter who's work had been taken from him by another promising tv reporter, which made him vent his anger towards God , feeling that the "Almighty" must be picking on him- he prattled his indignances questioning God about the unfairness that are going on in his life - thus, in turn God heard him and handed out some powers that enabled him to do just as whatever he pleased, thus goes the title BRUCE ALMIGHTY-- which turns out to be as quite a good allegorical flick about our frustrations when things are going wrong, or are not just coming around in our way of wanting things to happen.
The charachter of Jim Carey's dialects with the charachter of God played by Morgan Freeman is much worth than a week of sunday church services, answering some questions that come into mind whenever we suffer some bad breaks on our own. While the movie may be a comedy, it have well delivered itself from pointless profanity and have handled the humour well in the use of some biblical stuff (like the parting of the red sea (you should see it)) in line with the context of its story. There are no ribald rudeness as far as the charachter of God is concerned- nor have it been profaned in anyway; and Jim Carey's angrily questioning God-doubting charachter, only goes well in line with the charachter he performs, as a person suffering his ordeals that he just can't understand the reasons why he is suffering such things.
Although it is a likely thing that the movie may still be criticized mainly by uppity type of 'christians' (though) who level much on the traditional norms of religiousity as "blasphemous" even right before they see it- I just don't see the point myself of why they would categorize the movie as much, except for the untraditional means that the movie have in its presentation. What? The charachter of God being played by a black man? Who among us could tell whether He is a white man must have already seen God face to face! Which of course is an unlikely thing. I'm a Christ-believing Bible reader myself.
Watch the movie if you hadn't yet, and find out what we mean about the good merits that the movie has. And furthermore, this is what I could really consider (ironically to some) as a "christian movie"- for it really carries a message that is truly relevant for our times in an appropriate biblical scope perspectively. Unlike the popularized (and to my surprise church-accepted) so-called christian-tv siries titled "Touched By an Angel"- that other than its unbiblical concepts (two women who are eventually angels doing stuff on the lives of people a-la "Highway To Heaven" starring the late Michael Landon) and good-for-nothing sappy scripts- it only dwells on nothing but religious sentimentalities which are pointless, and are capable enough to totally bore to death and turn off anybody who are alredy ticked off about the church community.
Likewise, its kind of discouraging that some christians themselves would tend to be predjudiced about some things which are more meaningful, while promoting another which is commonly acceptable but amounts to nothing as far as being sensible is concerned. The bible even discourages this kind of behaviour "A person who answers a matter before he completely understood- to that man in his folly be a shame" -Proverbs 18:13 We are not in a rightful possition to criticise someone or something, if we don't fully comprehend someone's intension, case, or means.
As in the words of Bob Dylan: "Don't criticize what you don't understand".
BRUCE ALMIGHTY- it's quite insightful. No kidding.
