The high-concept premise finds Carrey playing Bruce Nolan, a frustrated Buffalo TV reporter, stuck doing puff-pieces while a lesser colleague (the hilarious Steven Carell) gets the anchor job he covets. Bruce demands an explanation from God, who pays him a visit (in the serene form of Morgan Freeman) and lets Bruce take over while he takes a brief vacation. What does a petty, angry guy do when he's God? That's where Carrey has a field day, reuniting with his Ace Ventura and Liar, Liar director, Tom Shadyac, while Jennifer Aniston gamely keeps pace as Bruce's put-upon fiancée. Carrey's actually funnier before he becomes Him, and the movie delivers a sappy, safely diluted notion of faith that lacks the sincerity of the 1977 hit Oh, God! Still, we can be thankful that Carrey took the high road and left Little Nicky to Adam Sandler. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating: - Whining Jim Carrey gets God-like powersCarrey plays a miserable, complaining nobody who gets incredible powers after he offers to swop places with God. Some of the scenes after this are terrific fun. Morgan Freeman is God, and the weird thing is, he suits the role admirably! Rating:  - hilarious!I do not understand how ANYONE doesn't find this movie good. Not only does it have a really great message, but Jim Carrey is once again HILARIOUS!!!!! It's a very cute movie, but is also very down to earth and funny funny funny!!!! I laughed SO hard throughout it! Rating: - Jim Carrey at His Best...Jennifer Aniston at Her WorstThis is one Carrey's funnier films, not as schmaltzy as "Liar,Liar", but has twice the laughs. If you're a Jennifer Aniston fan, well then, I feel sorry for you, but this one features her acting chops as one of the most over-rated, under-talented attempts in cinematic history. For the laughs, there's nothing better than a good Jim Carrey flick, and this one rates right up there, "Bruce" is one shining moment as Hollywood's funnier actors. Rating: - My wife and 12-year-old son agree ....... SO rarely on what constitutes a "funny" movie, that it's quite an event when they do. And they both laughed hysterically at BRUCE ALMIGHTY. I had as much fun watching them laugh as I did watching Jim Carrey's antics. Funny movie ... fairly clean (a few obscene gesture, fart jokes and semi-oblique sexual references). Recommended! Rating: - almighty film or just awful?Jim Carrey's film, which includes Morgan Freeman as god, and Jennifer Aniston as Grace, starts off as the usual comedy flick gets better and better as it goes on. If you had god-like powers what would you do? Send an meteor onto america? He does that. Pull up a ladies skirt? he does that. Take out his anger on his rival? Guess what he does that to. Morgan Freeman has a rare chance to show that he is a comedian too, and is not upstaged by the funny man. Jennifer Aniston is underused as Bruce's girlfriend, ... Read More |
