Jim Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a reporter who is down on his luck and feeling very unsuccessful with his life. Yes, Jim Carrey has the powers of God for a while, but he is not God.
Well, this movie is hardly sacred, but it also is not sacrilegious, at least not to any great extent. Jim Carrey playing God? Nothing is sacred anymore. Starring: Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Anniston I was really quite skeptical the first time I watched this movie. A film that not only entertains, but also leaves you enlightened.
On the whole, One of the Finest Films of 2003. Catherine Bell looks ravishing! Her performance is just right. This truly ranks amongst her best performances! Steve Carell fumbles beautifully. Jennifer Aniston as Bruce's Lady-Love is remarkable. Morgan Freeman as God, is wonderfully relaxed. In the acting department, Jim Carrey proves his caliber, yet again. Tom Shadyac's execution to the genius Screenplay is completely justified. Steve Oedekerk, Steve Koren & Mark O'Keefe's Screenplay is legendary. You weep in your seat and you exit the auditorium in glee. It has it's share of hilarious moments, but its the penultimate 30-minutes, when the goings-on get serious, those are the portions that leave a strong impression. I was awed by it, it's such a touching & moving cinematic experience. I remember watching it in L.A., Universal City Walk.
'Bruce Almighty' is a film that I've loved ever since it's release. He gives his powers to him see if he can do a better job. One fine day, the Almighty appears, played by Morgan Freeman. Jim Carrey stars as Bruce, who often complains to the man above, of how unlucky and how unkind he's been to him. Some films have a certain feel to them, and this is amongst those films. How would you handle the most awesome responsibility in the universe? Asks, the 2003-classic 'Bruce Almighty'.
