Bruce Almighty is a 2003 fantasy film starring J Carry and tells the tale of a news anchor named Bruce Nolan who hates god (Morgan Freeman) so much he ends up gaining God's powers to see what he can do better. At first Bruce thinks it's great as his relationship with his girlfriend Grace Connelly(Jennifer Aniston) is on the rocks and he tries to make it better, he gets revenge on Steve Carrell's charcther Evan Baxter since he gets all the attention and at the end Bruce has to wonder is getting god's powers really that important to him.. There was slot of The Mask references in this(another Jim Carrey film) ranging from the mirror scene, the whole zero to hero charcther, both films had a hilarious alleyway scene. Overall Bruce Almighty was hilarious

After failing to obtain the anchorman position he's been dreaming of for a very long time, Bruce gets into a fight with his girlfriend and starts blaming God for his miserable life. As a result, God gives him much more than a sign that he requested. Bruce is granted the powers of His, thus he starts playing around town. What he's about to find out is that it's much harder than he expected and that free will cannot be influenced in any way.It's a very interesting movie which presents a common person who receives superhuman abilities but soon realizes that life becomes out of a sudden a lot harder as every action of his has terrible consequences. It's presented in a very comical manner thanks to the skills of Jim Carrey, being able to make you laugh with almost every action he undertakes. Apart from the entertainment, it manages to be sad and emotional when required, thus creating a very pleasant atmosphere which you follow eagerly towards the finale. A very good comedy overall, thanks to some very good actors and a very well written and implemented plot.

Released in 2003, "Bruce Almighty" chronicles what happens when God (Morgan Freeman) gives His powers to a complaining news anchor (Jim Carrey) and takes a vacation. Jennifer Aniston plays Bruce's girlfriend and Steve Carell his rival anchor; Catherine Bell and Lisa Ann Walter are also on hand.In my opinion this is better than 1977's "Oh God!" because Morgan Freeman is superior in the role of the Almighty. Plus, how can you go wrong with Jim Carrey? While the movie starts off rather dull it perks up as soon as Bruce (Carrey) acquires God's powers; and for a solid half hour there are loads of laughs. At the end of the second act, however, the movie sorta nosedives, but then recovers in the last act with some surprisingly moving and even inspiring material. The movie runs 101 minutes and was shot in Buffalo, New York City, San Diego and the Los Angeles area. GRADE: B

If God would confide you his Mighty Power, what would you do? Who never ask himself or herself that question at some part of our life? Jim Carrey is playing Bruce Nolan, a reporter working for Eyewitness News, a Buffalo TV station. He has everything to be happy: he has a nice job, is appreciated by the entire community and his girlfriend. But when the anchorman position becomes available, Bruce got frustrated because his main competition, Evan Baxter (Played by Steve Carell), arrogant as hell, is collecting the good stories and sweeps while he is doing the low grade ones and he's making a fool of himself at each of the stories he's going through. So when Evan is officially promoted to Anchorman while Bruce is doing a live feed, Bruce loses it completely and get fired. The same evening he crashes his car into a light pole and as angry as he can get, blames God for all his misadventures. God, exceeded by all the critic and blame he got from Bruce, decides to challenge Bruce to do a better job than he does. Discovering unwillingly his new powers, Bruce starts to use them to get his life better. But soon, he also have to deal with the other aspects of God life and understands progressively that Being God seems much harder than it looks.The main source of fun in this movie is not the plot himself but Jim Carrey himself. It's just a pleasure to see him using God's power against the people around him or in various aspects of his own life. This role was made for Jim Carrey and his craziness. We can see how much fun he took playing Bruce Nolan and he literally is carrying this movie on his shoulders. There are several memorable scenes which just make you laugh to tears. It's hard to not laugh watching this movie, really hard!
