Profile of Bruce Almighty

Bruce Almighty can be described as witty, humorous, and offbeat. The plot revolves around a wish come true, switching roles, and antiheroes. The main genres are comedy and fantasy. In terms of style, Bruce Almighty has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is not serious. It takes place in contemporary times. Bruce Almighty has received attention for being a blockbuster and an award winner. It is well suited for a date night, a family outing, and teens.

Summary of Bruce Almighty

Jim Carrey returns to his zany, manic roots in this Capraesque comedy from director Tom Shadyac (ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE and LIAR LIAR). Carrey stars as Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, New York who lives a normal life with his sweet girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). But Bruce isn't satisfied, and after a particularly bad day where everything goes wrong, he blames God. After spewing a tirade of curses God's way, God (Morgan Freeman in a gentlemanly white suit) responds and challenges Bruce to take over and see if he can run things better. Of course, there are some conditions; Bruce can only have the "almighty" powers for 24 hours and only in the Buffalo area. This doesn't stop Bruce, and he responds to his newfound powers with selfish, childlike zeal. Like a kid in a candy store, Bruce sets off making one hysterical, yet disastrous, decision after another. He pulls the moon closer to the earth so he can have a more romantic evening with Grace, unaware that his actions cause a tidal wave in Japan and responds to the prayers of the world with a mass-email "yes" that creates millions of lottery winners, riots, and mayhem. Ultimately, Bruce proves he is only human, and cannot possibly fill God's shoes, although he has a great time trying.

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

The Hollywood Reporter

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. Full Review

Here's another 'Jim being silly' movie! But, considering that's what he does best, it's really no surprise. This film is just an all-over delightful movie filled with a great cast, a unique plot and quite a few laughs (okay, more than a few!). The... Read and rate it
