Bestowing Jim Carrey with godlike powers is a ripe recipe for comedy, and Bruce Almighty delivers the laughs that Carrey's mainstream fans prefer. 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 fiancee. 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

This is a very funny comedy with a bit of a serious side.
It features Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a local TV reporter in Buffalo, NY. His life is going very poorly. Although he is wanting the anchor job at the station, he is mainly given fluff pieces to do. He wrecks his car and several other things go wrong. Even his dog regularly relieves himself on the couch. In the midst of this, he blames everyone else for his problems, including God.
Soon, he is given an invitation to see God (played by Morgan Freeman). He is then given the Almighty's powers (to see if he can do better). Although he has the authority, he does not have God's wisdom.
As most would do, Nolan ends up using this omnipotence for his own means, rather than helping others. Not only is there a ton of humor, but there are some good insights that Nolan ends up gaining in the process.
Although I was a bit skeptical about this movie prior to watching it, this is really a good one. viewers will spend a lot of time laughing.
