Watch Bruce Almighty For Free

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Amateur movie with Big budget

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

In one of Jim Carrey's best films he plays Bruce Nolan, a news reporter that nurses hopes of one day becoming an anchor, but is seen as too comedic by his fellow workers. Kind of like Carrey probably nursed hopes of one day becoming a real actor.In all seriousness though, this is a good comedy. It mixes Carrey's usual facial antics and high energy with good special effects and gags that actually make sense within the story. The story of course going that this everyday guy gets powers from God (Morgan Freeman) himself. He promptly uses these powers to improve his own life, ruin the career of his competitor and make his girlfriend's breasts bigger. Because that's what we all would do, whether we admit it or not.And therein lies the beauty of this film. It actually has a good message to deliver. And this all culminates in Morgan Freeman as The Big Kahuna himself. Fantastic, heartfelt role and a message that goes unsaid too often. Because it isn't enough that you wish for something to happen. You need to go out and be part of the solution. Don't just wish for a miracle, be the miracle.Is this film a bit clunky? Yeah. Is it immature? Oh yes. But it's also funny, surprisingly thoughtful and has its heart in the right place. Can you really ask for more?

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.

Jim Carrey's comic charisma almost makes 2003's Bruce Almighty sitting through...almost. But if you're a hardcore Carrey fan, your tolerance of this film could be a little higher.Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a TV anchorman who feels that everything in his life is turning to crap, triggered by the loss of a promotion to an obnoxious co-worker (Steve Carell), who starts being very vocal about the way God is ruining his life and that everything that has gone wrong in his life is because God is too busy to pay attention to him, which results in God (Morgan Freeman) appearing to Bruce and offering Bruce the challenge of running the world by transferring all of his powers to Bruce.Despite solid direction from Tom Shadyac, who also directed Carrey in Liar,Liar and Carrey's ability to make the most lame material funny, this film is about as predictable as they come, which includes Bruce's initial selfish use of the power he's been given, the abuse of the people in his life he cares about, and his eventual epiphany about how hard God's job really is.Carrey generates sporadic laughs, as does Steve Carrell as Evan Baxter, Carrey's obnoxious colleague and Nora Dunn as Carrey's boss, but Jennifer Aniston's role as Bruce's girlfriend, Grace, is thankless. The best thing about this movie is the classy presence of Morgan Freeman in the role of God. His performance alone makes this movie worth sitting through. The movie was followed up by Evan Almighty.

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.
