Another one of my favorite movies of all time. Jim Carey is one of my favorite actors. This movie is so funny. Who doesn't want to play God. I know would love to give it a shot if it was possible.

**Bruce Almighty leverages Carrey's comedy strengths and a solid supporting cast to create a top-notch lighthearted comedy. ** Honestly, I had a traumatic experience from seeing The Mask way too young, and it left me terrified of Jim Carrey for quite a while. Even after I grew out of the Carreyphobia, I still wasn't a fan, but Bruce Almighty changed everything. The first time I saw it, it was against my will, but I am so glad I was forced to watch it because it's a wonderful movie! It has fun with Christian values and themes without bashing or harassing its source material. It's just a good-natured funny movie that sees Carrey's Bruce Nolan grow from kind but self-absorbed to considerate and caring of those around him and appreciating all that he already had in his life, especially his love interest played by Jennifer Anniston. Bruce Almighty also showcases a young Steve Carrell in his big breakout role as Carrey's rival, who faces the wrath of Carrey's God powers in a hilarious way. This film is by far my favorite Jim Carrey film and one of my favorite comedies.

Being God can be Hell. Fans of Jim Carrey can't go wrong with this fun filled picture that's not without serious undertones as well. The Premise is flimsy as such, Carrey plays Nolan, a harried and fed up TV reporter who feels that all of his problems are God's fault. Having enough of his whingeing, God (Morgan Freeman) summons Nolan to his "residence" and bestows all his powers to him. This is where the film hits its stride, the makers letting Carrey loose for a number of funny sequences as he plays God to further his own ends. It goes where you expect it to, and nobody else gets a look in as Carrey does his stuff, but the journey is a most pleasant one. 7/10

Jim Carrey and the interesting premise carry the movie for 55 min\* after which it devolves into a shallow, boring and generic love story and trite "life lesson" about being happy with what you have and have reverence for God. You can basically skip the second half and won't miss anything of relevance. Don't believe me? Watch it in full and after two weeks try to remember the second part. To be fair its a "family friendly" comedy made in the USA and likely had to appeal to children and Christians, so there is not much room for anything bold and provoking. Ultimately this movie will live on on Youtube for its funny "what if you were god" scenes but nobody will remember or care about the rest. \*around this time the scene ends where Steve Carell fails to read the news
