Bruce Almighty, Jim Carreys latest box office hit, and it will go down in history as the film that knocked Matrix reloaded off the top-spot in America, but is it any good?
Well, in terms of creativeness, yes. The film is a good idea, and has plenty of highlights that we can all associate with our own lives. Basically Bruce (Carrey) is sick of life and feels god is deliberately making his life difficult, and when he looses out on a promotion he has a breakdown blaming God for everything. Enter God (Freeman), sick of Bruce’s whining God gives him his powers and the fun really starts. It’s amusing to see how Bruce uses these powers as we can all honestly say we’d use them in a very similar way.
However the story doesn’t really go much further than that and fails to hit an amazing climax.
If your looking for a film that is funny and un-original then this one is for you, if you’re a fan of Carrey’s work, don’t miss it (its quite rewarding when Freeman say “Aaallllriiiggghhhttttyy then” in the style of Ace Ventura) If your looking for a suspense film with a moral to its story, I’d give this a miss.
Garlic Bread overall liking…Good with elements of Great
Garlic Bread favourite scene… Bruce on live television at Niagara falls.
Garlic bread rating… 7/8 out of 10

I've had the idea of giving one man Godlike powers many a time. But would he listen? Oh no "I'm not trustworthy enough and will doubtless do something irrevocable and foolhardy".
Like we need Wasps anyway.

Matrix has been out for ages, anyway, so it doesn't surprise me. It's like saying Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do..." has been knocked off the top slot after 16 weeks...
I'll still go and see it, though.

Dont get me wrong, it's a good film, if your looking for comedy, but if your in search of a strong plot and climax then it falls a little short.
That's like sayin "if you're looking for an Italian gangster movie then Star Wars falls short".
It's a light hearted comedy and I highly doubt anyone's expecting anything else.

I disagree. Those imperial troopers remind me of gangsters any day.

It's definately taking Carrey's career back in the right direction,after films like Cable Guy & Liar Liar.
Me myself and Irene was the funniest thing he did for ages.
Best moment from Bruce Almighty is the bit with the monkey.

I thought BA was pretty crap actually.
