Summary: Let There Be Jim Carrey !!
Review: Firstly, I have to say I love this movie. I love movies which are both entertaining and inspiring; and Bruce Almighty is certainly one of this type. Jim Carrey delivers his usual comicalness and is working hard to exert some seriousness. I beleive he has been diligent over the past few years, trying to upgrade himself to be more than just a comic actor. He did well in his last few movies - Liar Liar, Truman Show, Man on the Moon, The Majesty, but this one is a real breakthrough for him.Director Tom Shadyac seems to make good chemistry with Jim. Tom has been making good commercial movies (Dragonfly, Liar Liar, The Nutty Professor, Patch Adams, etc.) with some serious messages. Of course, there are Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston - all in the list of my favorite movie stars.... My kids enjoy the funny part, and for me, I of course enjoy very much the serious and touching bits towards the end of the movie. Looking forward to the DVD release. I am giving an overall rating of A-.

Summary: Taking faith seriously
Review: A Hollywood movie that treats God reverently and extols the importance of prayer while using A-list actors and managing to be funny? It'd be easier to find the Loch Ness Monster, right? Well, it was. Then -- on Memorial Day, 2003 -- Tom Shadyac released Bruce Almighty. The latest vehicle for Jim Carrey, Bruce Almighty delivers a series of punchlines while exploring theological truths in a serious manner. The Bible encourages us to be content in all circumstances and the TV news reporter played by Jim Carrey is anything but content with his life at the movie's outset. Despite his successes, in comparison to others he finds himself lacking and blames the shortcomings on God. His redemption comes from being endowed with God's powers, not because of the power he gains, but because of the insight it gives him into the life of others. Bruce -- along with the movie audience -- understands the interconnectedness of the human race when he tries to exercise his new powers. He realizes that when one person gets the promotion, someone else doesn't, and if everyone wins the lottery it's not worth much. The movie is from Hollywood, not Christendom, so the movie isn't entirely family-friendly or doctrinally pure. However, it is a hysterically funny film that treats the Christian faith with respect...and that's pretty rare from Hollywood.

Summary: What if God was one of us?
Review: This Jim Carrey-Morgan Freeman starrer film about a guy who makes many complaints to god is a funny movie. It really reminded me of Grandpa who past away around two days before September 2002. It reminded me of Grandpa, because it had god, you know who was played by Morgan Freeman. (a very great actor) This is a comedy that will remind you guies about a person of yours who you really before he/she past away.

Summary: Do you know what humor is?
Review: I rated this as a comedy. Not a religous movie or a drama. If you have a sense of humor, you will laugh at this movie. It is the funniest I have seen in quite a while. If you don't find this movie to be funny, you might consider having your funny bone checked for proper function. Mine seems to work just fine.

Summary: Almighty Then!!!
Review: Jim Carrey is back on top in BRUCE ALMIGHTY, a silly but oddly entertaining comedy, which falls short on laughs, but comes out big on entertainment. It definitely has an intriguing and original premise, executed quite nicely, with superior effects and great peformances. Carrey is his usual self, but it works once again! Back are the days of "Dumb and Dumber" and "The Mask", although here he plays an average joe with an average life. The crude humor is plentiful, but Bruce is more likable than any character Carrey has played before, including those in the more recent "Truman Show" and "The Majestic." He brings a certain charm to Bruce that was missing from his previous roles. Though not as impressive as last year's Good Girl, Jennifer Aniston is terrific as Carrey's girlfriend, bringing Rachel's bright persona to her big-screen role. She certainly lights up the screen and has wonderful chemistry with Carrey. Bruce Almighty is a sweet, good-natured comedy with dramatic elements and a few life lessons learned. It's fun, mindless entertainment amidst the bigger budgeted summer blockbusters.
Not a thought-provokng life changer, but a nice change of pace.

Summary: "And I Shall be Pleased"
Review: What happens when God gives a whining, complaining ordinary Joe his powers? "Bruce Almighty" attempts to answer that question, with Jim Carrey playing Bruce Nolan, the whining, complaining ordinary Joe. And Carrey has a field day with the character, delivering some of his funniest stuff yet, which include a tyrade on a newscast from Niagra Falls and making his rival newsman speak in gibberish. Jennifer Aniston does well in her first mainstream role as Nolan's girlfriend Grace, and Morgan Freeman never takes his God role too seriously, which adds an extra layer of humor to a movie already chock full of Carrey's physical gags. Nolan (Carrey) is a reporter at a Bufallo news station, buts what he really wants to be is an anchorman. But when his rival takes the job instead, and he loses his job because of his tyrade at Niagra Falls, he gets fired and starts to get on God's (Freeman) nerves because of his complaining. All the while, he is starting to neglect his girlfriend Grace (Anniston). But God hears Bruce's complaints and bestows his powers on him. Carrey thinks all his problems are now solved as he now becomes known as Mr. Exclusive because he makes it so he covers amazing, freak stories, like a metorite hitting Earth. Although, Bruce soon finds out that his new found fame is taking him away from what he really enjoys, i.e. grace, and he is going to lose all that if he does not change himself and how he acts. And that is the film's moral: instead of asking for everything, you have to get off your butt and do it yourself, and think about people other than yourself. Despite the occasional corny moment, director Tom Shadyac (Who collaborated with Carrey on "Liar, Liar") still manages to lend enough gravity and emotion to the message, and makes a wholly satisfying conclusion to a movie that will make your sides split, as well as make you rethink the way you go about life.

Summary: Jim Carrey's reprisal to great comedy!!!
Review: After Liar,Liar, Jim Carrey started to veer over in the lane of drama, starting with The Truman Show and then The Majestic. In those two films, Jim Carrey looked like he lost his comedic presence and tried so hard to be dramatic, but never would work. Now, he's come back in Bruce Almighty and has shown us that he still has to comedy in him. Although this movie was absolutely hilarious, I still feel that Liar,Liar is his best, but this ranks right up there in Carrey's best films. The movie is about a news reporter named Bruce Nolan, who's striving for the position of being anchorman on his news station. His career in being anchorman isn't looking like its about to happen, because one bad thing after another starts to happen to him, which he soon blames on God. After all these bad things happen to him, God finally gives him an answer and endows him with all of his powers. It's a hilarious movie from beginning to the end, showing us that Jim Carrey is back in his comedy role and that he can still do it. The acting was good and the jokes were not stale. There is one thing I find kind of weird, is when Jennifer Aniston sees the dog using the toilet in the bathroom. She doesn't do anythign except raise her eyebrows in curiosty and simpy leave the room. If your looking for a good time at the movies then check this movie out. It's well worth the money.
