What can be funnier than a movie like this? Jim Carrey makes us laugh our asses off once again with this brilliant movie, if you're bored and want to watch a movie, buy this and it'll cheer you up.

A really funny movie. Bruce feels he is unlucky so when "God" offers that he becomes God, Bruce agrees. Are Bruce's troubles over already?

Cool movie. Had many funny parts. The plot was good, the story was pretty good as well. Jim Carry is so funny in this one. Its not entirely a comedy movie though!

This is a great film for Jim Carrey. As far as his films go, I can pick and choose which ones are really worth watching. This is one that I had to have for my DVD collection. I like the premise of the movie, and I enjoyed seeing Bruce Nolan and how his character changes throughout the film. The on-air atrocities at the TV station were hilarious. Morgan Freeman was excellent in his role as well. I couldn't picture anyone else in that role but him. Jennifer Aniston adds some spark to the plot as well. Altogether it's a great addition to Jim Carrey's filmography.

Great Jim Carrey film. He had some great lines, and some even better antics. Morgan Freeman was a great supporting role as well. The story made little sense to me, however, which was its only red mark. 4 stars.

Jim Carrey anyone? A very good comedy film packed to the top with laughs and amazing directing. I love how Jim puts himself as God and explores how his powers work. Good film.

Original movie with lots of laughs. Not accurate religiously, but does have a good message. Not for children, due to language and content.

Another one of my favorite movies. Out of all the movies Jim Carey's worked on, I think this one was the best. Not saying that he was bad in the other ones, just saying he was awesome in this one. Bruce Almight has a very intersting plot, not letting you get up and go make more popcorn. You can't stop watching it! And its not one of those movies were after you watch it the first time, you can never watch it again. It has just as much laughs every time you wacth it!

  Carrey is so gifted a physical comedian that even mediocre material shines in his talented hands, not to mention his talented feet, face, elbows, ears, hair and, ahem, derriere.

  Bruce Nolan is one deeply disgruntled barrel of laughs--the emotional kin of Bill Murray's cynical weatherman in "Groundhog Day."

  A diverting comedy that in its last act becomes unusually sober. While the film both explicitly and implicitly pays tribute to Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life," the upshift from irreverent slapstick to reverent sermonette is extremely abrupt.

  Everyone is well cast and no one more perfectly than Freeman, who is far more God-like than George Burns ever was. Freeman's God is wise, humble, wry, patient and funny but never mean-spirited.

  Aniston, as a sweet kindergarten teacher and fiancee, shows again (after "The Good Girl") that she really will have a movie career.

  When Carrey is doing his thing as the Almighty, histrionically whipping up one miracle after another and relishing the power, "Bruce" has you spring-cleaning your lungs with laughter. But you are made to pay for it with a third-act sap-rising that's as thick as the final reels of "Patch Adams."

  Although the film's jabs at TV journalism are nothing new, Carrey brings to the material the sense of someone who's too smart for his work yet loves it -- the essence, perhaps, of being a ham.

  Carrey isn't afraid to go happily psycho, like Peter Sellers or Eminem on his funniest tracks, and that's his edge.

  Bruce Almighty would rather go runny and bland, mostly where Aniston's Grace is concerned.

  It would be nice to say that Bruce is hilarious, rather than merely (and fitfully) funny; certainly, the premise suggests laughs more consistent and outlandish than are present here.

  Even more than Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams or Pee-wee Herman, Mr. Carrey, now 41 (pretty old for an overgrown kid), sustains a maniacal energy that explodes off the screen in blinding electrical zaps. Those jolts don't always feel pleasant.

  Carrey's schizophrenic new effort gives you both at once -- it drowns his hilarious physicality in an ocean of sap.

  The movie is mainly an excuse to display special-effects gags in the form of the various miracles manifested -- some of which are highly imaginative, some of which aren't.

  The screenplay doesn't ultimately make much sense. Carrey is a unique comic talent, though, and Freeman and Aniston back him up with such sensitive supporting performances that the film almost works if you can suspend enough disbelief to swallow its fantastic premise.

  The actors don't seem to have been directed at all, and the movie is very sluggishly paced.
