Summary: A Funny Jim Carrey Movie
Review: Jim Carrey is definatley a hit with the funny film Bruce Almighty. Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a TV Reporter with alot of negative things going on his life. When Nolan curses God, Morgan Freeman shows up in the role of God, to give Nolan some of his power so he can see what being God is like. Jennifer Aniston plays Carrey's girlfriend and she is a great actress for the role.
I just wished this movie had been more "kid friendly". There are many adult situations really not suitable for kids. Including the fact that Bruce Nolan and his girlfriend are sleeping together without the benefit of marriage. So don't expect a "religious" movie with any moral value. Its pure comic entertainment. The movie is a funny film, with a hysterical script. And Jim Carrey is acting in one of his funniest roles to date.

Summary: Thank God for a comedy that is actually funny!
Review: Bruce Almighty is a very funny movie that delivers on many levels. The people looking for the usual Jim Carrey humor will not be dissapointed, as he gets to let loose in afew scenes and remind us why he is one of the more sucessful comedians in film of all time. The audience looking for a comedy with a good message and something their kids can see won't be dissapoined either. While this film does have some adult humor, it is still a good movie for kids to see. Jim Carrey is very funny, although he has been more funny, in films like Liar Liar and Dumb and Dumber. It's not his fault as much as it is he shares the spotlight with other people and acts more serious at the end. Morgan Freeman is the first actor to nail the role of God, as he just reflectss wisdom and grace. Jennifer Aniston also does surprisingly well as Bruce's long suffering girlfriend. This film delivers all the good and is much better than sucessful comedies released this year, such as Bringing Down The House and Anger Management. it is great to see Carrey do what he does best: Make People Laugh!

Summary: Carrey Back in Full Comedic Force
Review: After starring in two duds - the lackluster ME, MYSELF & IRENE and the awful sentimental tripe THE MAJESTIC - Jim Carrey is back in top comedic form and better than ever before in BRUCE ALMIGHTY. Although the film is far from perfect (the last 20 minutes are really bad), it's Carrey's funniest movie since LIAR LIAR, which is still his best comedy to date, and the hilarity of some of the standout scenes alone are worth the price of admission.
Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a reporter for Channel 7 news in Buffalo who is sick and tired of doing second-rate stories and wants to become the head male anchor at the network. Bruce always never liked his life and even moreso on this day. During the 24 hours, he loses his dream anchor job to a slimy rival named Evan(Steve Carrell), gets jumped by a Mexican gang, crashes his car, and his dog constantly pees on his furniture. His only source for comfort is his live-in girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston), but even Bruce lashes out on her about his/their "mediocre life." Bruce then lashes out at God, claiming that He is the source for all his problems. Then the next day, God himself (in the form of Morgan Freeman) calls Bruce and has a meeting with him in an abandoned building. God gives Bruce his almighty powers while He goes on vacation, daring him to do a better job than he does. Bruce agrees, but like any human being, he uses his powers to get back at his enemies and get everything he wants. Of course, he soon learns that being God isn't all it's cracked up to be... The premise of the movie is very clever. What if you were to play God for a week? That is what anybody wishes to be. The funniest scenes in the film occur during the first hour, which is consistently funny throughout. The scene where Bruce gets back at Evan while live on the air is hysterical, and the running joke involving the dog using the toilet is very funny as well. But the most hilarious scene is when Bruce, finding out that Evan got the anchor position while live at Niagara Falls, goes out on a tangent and unleashes his fury on TV. He ends his rant on a profane note, and it perfectly showcases what Carrey is capable of. For the most part the movie is funny, but the film stops dead in its tracks during the last 20 minutes or so, which is slow, dull, and painfully sentimental. The director of this movie also directed PATCH ADAMS, which is one of the worst movies ever made and you all know how "weepy" that was. The end of BRUCE ALMIGHTY definitely reaches those levels and instead of delivering their message on a positive note, they went the corny direction (which is why I took one star off). That's my only real complaint. Everyone else is good. Morgan Freeman is very funny as God and has a couple of great one-liners and Jennifer Aniston is a sweetheart, not to mention Steve Carrell who is the perfect foil for Carrey and his mannerisms. BRUCE ALMIGHTY is a nicely done comedy and one of the few Hollywood comedies out there that's actually funny. It deserves every bit of its success.

Summary: Hilarous, worth more than 5 stars
Review: I saw this movie 2 days in a row. A lot of my other friends saw it up to 3 times already. Ya it is that good. And it isnt a waste. It isnt bad like a lot of ppl think it would be. Like ppl think Jim Carrey is playing a part that imitates God. But it isnt that at all. You should just go see it to beleive it.

Summary: Yawn!!!
Review: Watching the commercials for this movie yeah, it seemed funny untill you actually watch the movie. Honestly, in the middle of the film I fell asleep and woke up. Yet I felt I didn't miss anything because it was again pretty predicatable. The ending was badly sappy and unrelistic then again having God's power it unrelistic. Anyways, its just the regular plain ol' jokes.

Summary: Jim Carrey at his finest
Review: This was an extremely clever idea for a movie. I'm sure you've dreamt about it, or imagined the scenerio in your mind at some point in your life. Great idea by the writers of this movie. Also, nobody in Hollywood could have pulled off playing the main character other than Jim Carrey. This movie had me roaring time and time again. The only problem I had with it was Carrey was a little bit Ace Ventura from time to time. What I mean by that, is he was a little too unrealistic in some of his characters exaggerations. Most of them were really funny, but it was a little much. I don't mean to pick this movie apart because it was great. I hope Carrey sticks to the comedic roles, and doesn't ventura into the other kind of films he's been doing as of late.

Summary: By The Numbers
Review: I've been a fan of Jim Carrey since his "In living Color" days...and I've followed his movie career very closely. "Bruce Almighty" is a bit of a let-down. Sure, it was nice to see Jim back in his zany role...but even then he seemed to be forcing things...which I find true of the entire movie...it all seems a bit forced and lacks any real ~flow~. Perhaps this has to do with the completely cliche and predictable script. It's hard to believe that the same Director who put Jim in a such a good place with "Liar Liar" and "Pet detective" could let his pal down so hard with this one. The other issue I have is with some folks saying that this was Carrey's "return to form" in terms of his crazy comedy bits.
Did these people not see "Me myself & Irene"? In my opinion, that movie is light years ahead of "Bruce Almighty" in terms of execution...and it was only two years ago! Not a bad Jim Carrey movie...but not a great one either. ~dan

Summary: Lets Go Buffalo!
Review: Decent enough flick and genuinely entertaining, although I wouldn't call it a masterpiece in any sense of the word (or is it two words?). It might even delve into preachy in parts, but it does have quite a few laughs. It seems that Carey is slowly trying to evolve (or devolve) into a serious actor. I am not sure it is believable just yet. Perhaps a cameo in Saving Private Ryan II is just the boost his career needs. Any movie that is set in Buffalo is a gem. Well exept that one with Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn, uhhh. Also, it is too bad that Carey's charachter did not run into anyone from MTV's sorority house, alas. Of course the most unbelievable part was when the Sabre's won the cup. Talk about suspending reality!

Summary: Great Movie!!
Review: I am going to keep it simple. The movie is very good and I want to make sure that this movie keeps as much of the 5 starts as possible because it deserves it. if you don't like Jim Carey you won't like this movie. He is not as crazy as some other of his movies that I did not care for like the 2nd Pet Detective, and the Mask. I also think that Jennifer Aniston was great. I felt they had chemistry. Go see it if you want to laugh a little.
