Carrey is hilarious in the slapstick scenes, but Bruce Almighty gets bogged down in treacle.

There's remarkably little done with a premise snatched from high-concept heaven, adding yet another file to the growing cabinet of under-realized comedies. Jul 29, 2008

Director Shadyac and his three scriptwriters prove much more fallibly flawed than their omnipotent hero. Jun 24, 2006 | Full Review…

This has some very funny moments and lines in its first act, and then jettisons the comedy in favour of a self-important deadly serious feelgood ending. Jul 8, 2003 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

As entertainment, it gives good value: it's light, quick and diverting. Morgan Freeman, predictably, gives it heart, gravitas and the appearance of wisdom; but it's Carrey who keeps all the balls in the air with refined mania. Jan 9, 2018 | Full Review…

There are enough goofball touches in Bruce Almighty to carry the movie to a certain extent... However, when the time comes for Bruce to "share and learn", the effect is trite and embarrassing. Jan 2, 2018 | Full Review…

Not a Jim Carrey fan but one of his better films, nice idea!

When I went down to the local video shop as I do most Fridays I happened to glance upon Bruce Almighty. I had of course heard of it before but that day was the day I decided to finally watch it. Being a Jim Carrey fan I was excited and thought it would be a good movie as the plot was original and I also happen to like Morgan Freeman. I'm not sure if it was my high expectations that ruined the movie of the fact that is just wasn't that great. A few 'run of the mill' type jokes, and it dragged on a bit without much interesting happening a couple of times. Still, it is a good 'blob out infront of the TV' type movie, and I would recommend it to anyone who has nothing to do, or wants a movie to fall asleep infront of. 1/ 1/2 Stars Updated 10-1-05
The definitive Carrey flick. It's really funny.
Predictable story, unpredictable Jim Carrey. The star provides laughs and emotion to shroud up that the film had a predictable and cliched story. Freeman makes a great mentor and Carrell comes out a dark horse to make this film that more memorable. 4.5/5
