January 27, 2012Remember when Jim Carry was funny... the only thing I took from this is God probably does look like Freeman.

January 14, 2012As 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 (whic... read more

January 13, 2012A good comedy movie! Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston are really nice here, and the casting of Morgan Freeman as God was perfect!

October 6, 2011For 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... read more

September 20, 2011An 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.

July 2, 2011Good, not great. Carrey gives a funnyman performance that is pretty memorable.

June 23, 2011One 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.

Mr. Carrey gets some of his biggest laughs in years by playing up the darker side of his character's small-mindedness. Full Review

Bruce takes over for the vacationing deity, but despite an initial surge of jolly, somewhat cruel chaos (as when he forces the new anchor to unreel paragraphs of gibberish on camera), things soon turn... Full Review

... on at least three or four occasions, Carrey made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes -- and that's a heck of a trick. Full Review

Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
[Carrey] is in loose-limbed form, with healthy doses of fury, in a film that mostly succeeds at fusing his slapstick talents and more heartfelt inclinations.

The laughs in Bruce Almighty are thinly spread across a vast, bland cake of uplifting sentiment. Full Review

[Carrey] is so gifted a physical comedian that even mediocre material shines in his talented hands. Full Review

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Something between an indiscretion and an atrocity, in the key of that most human yet loathsome of self-indulgences, vanity. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Everyone is well cast and no one more perfectly than Freeman, who is far more God-like than George Burns ever was. Full Review
