Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Gal Yanoshevitz The movie makes you think that god really does exists and his name is Morgan Freeman! It is One of the best movies i have ever seen. A movie with actors such as Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman, Has to be a winning Title. If you haven't watched it yet - Just do it! It's Good! It's God's Creation!
Filipe Neto This is one of the most iconic comedies of the turn of the century, and it's probably Jim Carrey's most notable work, along with "Lyar Lyar" and "Ace Ventura". The movie revolves around Bruce, an ordinary man who suddenly receives from God all the divine powers while the Creator himself is allegedly on vacation. It could only end in a great mess. Jim Carrey was at his best, and is truly the pillar of the film, with jokes of all kinds and for all tastes. I think his comic vein has had a great influence in the direction of the script, and I do not rule out the hypothesis that some of the jokes have come out on the spur of the moment. Veteran Morgan Freeman has played God, and it's delightful to see the laid-back, positive way he looks at Carrey with a great sense of humor. Both are great actors, but the truth is that we are so used to seeing Freeman in action movies or "Seven", just to give an example) that we are very pleasantly surprised whenever we see the actor in a more relaxed, As is the case with this film. The story, the script itself, is very good. It's that kind of movie that seeks to convey a positive message to you while it makes you laugh. It talks about how we can have a positive attitude towards the problems of our life, and that usually what comes easy is easily lost.Good movies with uplifting and truly human messages are increasingly a rarity nowadays. Therefore, I commend the work developed in this film, which educates besides amusing the whole family.
Gabriel Caballero Bruce Almighty is a 2003 American fantasy comedy film directed by Tom Shadyac, written by Steve Koren, Mark O'Keefe and Steve Oedekerk and stars Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a down-on-his-luck TV reporter who complains to God (Morgan Freeman) that he is not doing his job correctly, and is offered the chance to try being God himself for one week. This is Shadyac and Carrey's third collaboration after working together on Shadyac's first film, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, in 1994 and Liar Liar in 1997.When released in American theaters in May 2003, it took the #1 spot at the box office, grossing $85.89 million—higher than the release of Pearl Harbor, making it the second-highest-rated Memorial Day weekend opening of any film in motion picture history (until the release of X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006).[3] The movie surprised media analysts when it beat The Matrix Reloaded after its first week of release. By the time it left theaters in December 2003, it took in a United States domestic total of over $242 million and $484 million worldwide.
meganphipps I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I just recently watched this and it still makes me laugh and Jim Carrey as always does his very best. The film from start to finish was amazing as usual, the effects were awesome and the music to the film fit perfectly with what was going on and of course Morgan Freeman was amazing as god. One of my favourite characters has to be of course Bruce, he is funny and also he is such a genuine character. My favourite moment has to be when Bruce is walking along testing out god's powers and the song 'I Got The Power' comes on, funniest, moment ever in the film. If you like Jim Carrey or Morgan Freeman then this is the film just for you. "He saw and it was good'.
