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 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

This was a great movie with Morgan freeman and Jim Carrey this was a really great comedy. This is really good if you like comedy's with Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman. This was just all together a really great movie.

Bruce Nolan is a local Eyewitness News TV reporter in Buffalo, New York, best known for doing human interest stories--which makes everyone happy but him. Bruce would much rather be replacing the soon-to-retire anchorman. Essentially, Bruce is disconnected with everything in his life and rarely misses an opportunity to complain about it. This movie is rambunctiously funny. Jim Carrey is the man. I can't help but recommend it.
Bruce Almighty Review December 13, 2009
Jerry L. Lambeth (NC)
Morgan Freeman plays a classic role, he's God. Jennifer Aniston plays a great supporting role as well. Totally different than Evan Almighty, totally different story lines. Good watch, funny for the whole family. No nudity but implied "sex".
i like this. September 12, 2009

No you can't.
Yep Bruce is really down on his luck, and we are reminded of that old saying," never hit a man when he is down, Kick him it is easer."
After assessing the situation he comes to the conclusion that his situation is the direct results of gross negligence on the part of his maker. He makes the monumental decision to express his thought. Naturally in the tradition of the "Oh God" movies, only this time Morgan Freeman is god, Bruce is challenged to see if he could do any better. This time instead of, "Death takes a Holiday" (1934), God takes his. Now that Bruce has a chance to be in charge. What changes will we see? Was Bruce's assessment of the situation correct or a tad jaded from the situation?
Of course this is a formula movie with the outcome determined before we start. Jim Carrey relies on his "Carrey faces" to carry the movie. These facial expressions were cute in "Once Bitten" (1985) but get a little long in the tooth by now. Jennifer Aniston, of "Office Space" (1999) fame, does an excellent supporting role.
