  Remember when Jim Carry was funny... the only thing I took from this is God probably does look like Freeman.

  As goes the director, Tom Shadyac, I usually don't care for him. Both ACE VENTURA films were dumb enough to make Sandler look like Einstein, and LIAR LIAR was one disturbingly hyperactive performance. It seems the only two Shadyac films I remotely enjoyed were EVAN ALMIGHTY… More
  As goes the director, Tom Shadyac, I usually don't care for him. Both ACE VENTURA films were dumb enough to make Sandler look like Einstein, and LIAR LIAR was one disturbingly hyperactive performance. It seems the only two Shadyac films I remotely enjoyed were EVAN ALMIGHTY (which I saw first) and THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. Looking at such a film as BRUCE ALMIGHTY is much more than a mere relief. Carrey and Aniston as an on screen couple is something that I would have never guessed, but it looks right; and Freeman's balance between jokes and sternness is even enough. If you cannot stand Jim Carrey, it's quite obvious this is not the film for you, in which case I feel sorry for you. For anyone else, this is Carrey's second best comedy yet (of course, behind DUMB AND DUMBER), and I'd recommend it, even if most others won't. "The almighty smiter" will not smite you for not viewing it, but you'd be missing out on some decent laughs.

  A good comedy movie! Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston are really nice here, and the casting of Morgan Freeman as God was perfect!

  For me, Jim Carrey stopped being funny after Me, Myself & Irene. His brand of comedy began to suffer, and he slowly became irritating. Bruce Almighty is yet another lame attempt for Carrey to deliver a comedic performance in a religion oriented comedy. Now, I'm not a believer, or anything, but I did think that the films premise had something interesting to offer, however it was poorly executed and the cast here didn't cut it. I felt that the film too heavy on preaching the word of religion, and that it tried too hard at combining that with comedy. The problem with this is that there are few laughs in between the positive messages the film tries to throw at the viewer. What you get is a film that doesn't work and it doesn't do anything to really entertain you. Like I state the jokes are minimal, and there's nothing that will really appeal to any viewer, I felt bored watching this film, and the film had bad pacing, and I felt it was a bit slow for my taste. I felt that this film could have been much better than it was, as the idea is quite good, but the filmmakers don't do anything really interesting with those ideas. Bruce Almighty is a bad film that is a missed opportunity, and doesn't work whatsoever. The film is pretty pointless in what it's trying to do, and there is nothing good about it. The film fails and is a boring film at that.

  An interesting premise that comes off satisfactory but not without its flaws. The message trying to be conveyed is cliche and the drama doesn't mix well with the slapstick. Still worth seeing for Jim Carrey's slapstick performances.

  Wow, I think I just saw God! :|

  Jim Carrey saved this from being a complete disaster.

• Matt G

  
  Good, not great. Carrey gives a funnyman performance that is pretty memorable.

• Bethany M

  
  One of Jennifer Aniston's best films. Jim Carrey is nothing short of hilarious and it will definitely have you crying with laughter. You cannot forget Morgan Freeman either - incredible, incredible actor and he was perfect for this part.

• Brad W

  
  Interesting premise and cast, but lacks laugh out loud laughs

  This is ok, nice effects and a funny story which works well. The sequel is actually abit better now I think about it, purely because Carrey is just too much and I prefer Carell. Freeman is good as god and quite believeable, Aniston is wet as usual. Carell is good and is simply better… More
  This is ok, nice effects and a funny story which works well. The sequel is actually abit better now I think about it, purely because Carrey is just too much and I prefer Carell. Freeman is good as god and quite believeable, Aniston is wet as usual. Carell is good and is simply better than Carrey, thats why the sequel works better.

  Morgan Freeman as God. Now THAT is a religion I will follow.

• Carlos M

  
  A fair comedy with some good funny moments, though the sentimentality doesn't work that well.

  A passable comedy that features two memorable performances from Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. A solid, frequently laugh out loud comedy with a strong and unexpected lesson at the end of it. For all those people that think this is a movie mocking God, give it a chance. It actually does quite the opposite.
