Bruce Almighty (DVD, 2003, Full Frame)

Tom Shadyac, Jim Carrey|Theatrical release: 2003|Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Jim Carrey returns to his zany, manic roots in this Capraesque comedy from director Tom Shadyac (ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE and LIAR LIAR). Carrey stars as Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, New York who lives a normal life with his sweet girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). But Bruce isn't satisfied, and after a particularly bad day where everything goes wrong, he blames God. After spewing a tirade of curses God's way, God (Morgan Freeman in a gentlemanly white suit) responds and challenges Bruce to take over and see if he can run things better. Of course, there are some conditions; Bruce can only have the "almighty" powers for 24 hours and only in the Buffalo area. This doesn't stop Bruce, and he responds to his newfound powers with selfish, childlike zeal. Like a kid in a candy store, Bruce sets off making one hysterical, yet disastrous, decision after another. He pulls the moon closer to the earth so he can have a more romantic evening with Grace, unaware that his actions cause a tidal wave in Japan and responds to the prayers of the world with a mass-email "yes" that creates millions of lottery winners, riots, and mayhem. Ultimately, Bruce proves he is only human, and cannot possibly fill God's shoes, although he has a great time trying.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"...The notion of omnipotence prompts Mr. Carrey to go to new adrenaline-crazed comic extremes....[He] sustains a maniacal energy that explodes off the screen in blinding electrical zaps..."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (05/23/2003)

"...The supporting cast, led by Jennifer Aniston and Steven Carrell, offers up some engaging comedy..."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (05/23/2003)

"...A charmer....[Aniston] can play comedy, which is not easy, and she can keep up with Carrey while not simply mirroring his zaniness..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/23/2003)

"...Carrey, for his part is in hilarious form as Bruce..."
Box Office - Michael Tunison (07/01/2003)

"...It works. High concept, low comedy. What more do you want from a Carrey flick? And there are some neat touches too..."
Total Film - Kevin Murphy (07/01/2003)

"[Carrey] is a comedy giant."
Uncut - Chris Roberts (12/01/2003)

OMG! ABSOLUTE HILARITY!!! True Situations!! 10/10 A+++

Created: 08/08/07
AN AWESOME MOVIE!!! One of Jim Carrey's BEST!! It is definitely on our Top 10 List of Favorite Movies and would never part with it!!

Why we bought it?They played a clip from it at our church and it seemed very interesting, funny, and showed how life can be quite questionable at times.

A GREAT MOVIE if you're having a bad day and need good laughs, and some good energy! We have owned it for over two years, and have watched it probably 100 times!! It gives us the lift we need when we need one!

It shows how your life can get out of hand when trying to balance you "business life" vs your personal life/family life. The business life tends to take over and you find that you end of losing much of what you had(the important things in life).

**ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!**

It may touch very close to home for many of you! It did us!!

GREAT ACTING PERFORMANCES by Jim Carrey , Jennifer Aniston , and Morgan Freeman.

***WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!***

Bruce Almighty will keep your attention from beginning to end.

Rent It or Buy It? Definitely BUY IT!!! ;)

You'll want to watch it over and over again!!

OUR RATING: 10/10 A+++

A unique and very funny film!

Created: 16/07/06
Jim Carrey is at his best (again) in this movie! Bruce Almighty is a unique concept for a comedy. Although I believe it might have been loosely based on 'Oh God, You Devil' starring George Burns. Only Jim Carrey could have starred in this role and carried this film. If you liked him in 'Liar, Liar' you will love him in this one. Another great role played in this movie was by the great Morgan Freeman. He plays a great 'God' with his unique authoritative voice. And let's not forget the beautiful Jennifer Aniston! She plays Bruce's girlfriend perfectly. She is tranistioning from the small screen wonderfully. And very pleasing to the eyes. I loved this film so much that I purchased memoribilia that was used during the filming of it. If you'd like to purchase any Bruce Almighty memoribilia please visit my eBay store or email me! Happy viewing!

Jim as God, now that's funny!

Created: 07/01/08
I was worried about the movie going over the line but delightfully, it did not. It made me wonder what I would do in this situation. Would I right a few wrong's in my life first and have to be reminded about everyone else needing their prayer's answered? Would you? Great movie, makes you think. Not only is Jim Carrey at his funnist, but Steve Carell give's a hilarious performance as Evan Baxter his rival for the new's anchor position. If you've had a bad day and just need a good laugh, you can't go wrong with Bruce Almighty.

What would you do in his position?

Bruce Almighty

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. I thought it was hilarious and Jennifer Aniston and Jim Carrey are a great on-screen couple. Morgan Freeman is also really good in this movie.

The best thing about this movie is it really gets your imagination going... what would you do in his position?

Final Verdict:

4/5

Rent or Buy?: A really good movie with a great message, you don't have to be a Jim Carrey fan to be a fan of this movie.

IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
