"Bruce Almighty."

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.

Well it would, as Bruce was re-typing the autocue for the reporter to say it, and if Im not mistaken, he did say it?

:D

Back to you!

One of the best bits was Bruce making the reporter speak funny. But the problem was it was one of few funny bits during the film. Overall it was quite poor but very original.

Overall the film was ok but very few funny moments, almost too serious for a comedy. Carrey was good, but few classic Carrey moments.

I thought Bruce Almighty was quite poor. I found the monkey bit and the bit where he made that other reporter speak with a weird voice funny though.

By far the worst bit was Bruce's 'catchphrase' "gooooooood", it came close to making me cry after it was said countless number of times. They also overdid the cheesy moments. (All this is to be expected with a Carrey film- I shouldn't have expected more, but I did- it was a very good idea for a film in principle.)

This is atleast the third Bruce Almighty thread.

Must(It is) be a great film then.

I dont mind that.
