UterNov 20, 20036It's entertaining, but not up to par with most of Jim's movies. But if Carey wasn't in the movie it'd be completely forgettable.

CriticBrothersMay 30, 200310This movie has soul power. It has a good blend of comedy and drama. It is one of those rare films that makes you laugh and cry. And also included a good message. Some might say this movie is cheesy but they are ignorant and this movie is better than the matrix reloaded.

KenG.Jan 20, 20047A sometimes hilarious film marred only by the extremely sappy last 30 minutes. Morgan Freeman IS God, and Jim Carrey and Jennifer have a nice screen chemistry. There's one comic sequence that had me crying with laughter.

WinduJun 15, 20037Jim Carrey shines in this role-- but lets admit it-- Bruce Almighty is a terrible movie. The only reason it gets a 7 instead of a 4 is because Carrey did a really great job with the part, it made me laugh, and I really enjoyed watching the film...

AdamE.Jul 28, 20037Even though the film can get a little feeble at times Jim truly is brilliant! Goi Carrey!

-
TitoY.Jul 31, 20030Jim Carey is a bad actor. You can't difference the Mask, Ace Ventura or The Riddler... they seems to be the same person. Maybe he should learn from Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino.

BtazJul 8, 20038Carrey is funny without being super silly. Lots of laughs.

JamieW.Jul 9, 200310Is it me or are these review people way too serious about films? The best was 80%? This film had me laughing all the way through and I believe it was a brilliant film in which Jim Carrey showed us his true talent. My message to the reviewers - lighten up!

AimeeB.Jan 1, 200410I loved this movie..Jim Carrey is the Best Actor ever. This movie is hilarious when he mimics the other guy. Second to Liar Liar of my favourite Jim movies. Both the same director, Tom Shadyac.

MattH.Apr 5, 200410Awesome movie. Ace Vanturia Pet Detective is still my favorite.

RobertC.Jan 10, 20059I Love this movie but it's not the best!! it's good.

JohnY.Nov 30, 20030A masterwork filled to the brim with impressive acting and raw emotion.

Marc-oDec 1, 20032About two funny moments in this film like Anger Management was not enough laffs per minute but at least Sandler and Nicholson are good to watch and the story was minus the total over the top twadle that was evident in this poor excuse for comedy.
-
-
WilliamM.May 23, 20033Simply not funny. If you have the impulse to see this one, go ahead and tape the commercial and play it back for yourself a few times, as those are the ONLY amusing parts in the movie. Watching Anniston's character pray for Bruce in latter part of the film made me want to stuff copies of "Patch Adams" down my throat to put myself out of my misery.

-
JohnY.May 25, 20036It looked great on paper. Yet, like so many current comedies, the execution fails to fulfill the concept?s potential. Here?s a man embedded with God?s limitless powers, and the best gag the writers can devise involves house-training a dog? Carrey tries to elevate the material and succeeds on occasion, but that?s not enough, even for God.

MushuPorkMay 27, 20038Hilarious movie. Jim Carrey has tended to over do his schtick in recent pics. Here he is more focused. Anniston did great. Overall, fun flick. Could take kids to it, but they wouldn't get the jokes.
-
-
JONC.May 27, 20037Not perfect, but entertainingly funny, as expected from most Jim Carrey commedies, though this one lacks some of his more vulgar...inspirations (an omission not entirely unwelcome.) Morgan Freeman is GREAT as God, but isn't he at anything he does??? Still, GOD, who would have thought...

PhatmanJun 21, 200310Not bad, some funny parts, but you don't have to see this in theatres. Just rent it when it comes out. But I give this a 10 for Jennifer Aniston's orgasm.

CraigK.Jun 27, 200310I thought that this film was very funny. I was laughing all the way through it. I think it is Jim Carrey's best movie yet.

RaskassSep 22, 20033The movie is not good...although jim carrey is a good actor...the story is boring!

BillT.May 15, 200410I have to rate this movie as my new all-time favorite! Yes, it was cute. Yes, it was pretty funny. But, even more important was the spiritually insightful writing of the concept of the storyline!
-
-
GaryG.May 17, 20044When it tries to tug at the heartstrings, it loses momentum. Carrey has done better.
-

PekkaP.Dec 30, 20059A gem.
-

KevinBApr 21, 20058Jim Carrey is simply the greatest comedian alive. He can do so much with very little. Give this man a toothpick and he'll entertain u for hours. The story could have been a little better but as far as acting he nailed it.
-
-
AnneC.Nov 25, 20036Not bad, but not as funny as I'd thought. The strange thing is, the singlemost funniest moment in the movie, the one that EVERYONE in the theater went nuts over (the rival reporter speaking absolute jibberish) isn't even Jim's.
-
-
GaborA.Dec 10, 20032The most amount of failed jokes i have ever seen. The movie is just a chain of jokes, and about two of them dont fall flat. An overall embarssment for the creators and cast.

AlyssaS.Dec 13, 20030This show is a really stupid movie. I say that it will waste your time watching it.

JamesD.Dec 19, 200310One of jim's best films ever, Nice car by the way!

NickD.Dec 19, 20036This movie did not live up to the expectations I thought it would. Its not bad but could have been much better than what it is.

BenW.Oct 22, 20039One of the funniest movies i have ever seen. jim carrey is the funniest person on the face of the earth.
-
-
JulianW.Dec 21, 20035Some nice jokes, Carrey's mimic is just awsome. But an amount of failed gags. An amount!
-
-
MelissaM.Dec 8, 20038I sincerely liked this movie. Funny and light-hearted, well-meaning fun. Throw in a couple of other hyphenated words and you've got Jim's best movie in years.
-
-
JohnMay 24, 20038If you enjoy Jim Carrey's typical humor then you will certainly enjoy this movie. It's not his best work, but the story is decent, even if it does get sort of cliche towards the end.
-
-
RitaS.May 24, 20039Wonderful, Jim Carrey at his best!

MartinC.May 24, 20038Really good and funny movie--classic Jim Carrey. Little cheesy at the end, but I kinda liked the cheese here.

KevinN.May 29, 200310This is by far one of the funniest movies i have seen in a long. jim carey should get an award of being able to actually get through the filming of a movie like this without dieing from laughter. i recommend this to everyone.

PatC.Jan 26, 20045A slipshod construction. Gags that work are intertwined with ones that don't. With a little more polish and judicious editing, this could have been one of the great comedies. The good parts are really good, making the mundane ones all the more disappointing. Only Morgan Freeman and the dog remained in character.

AMovieCriticNov 27, 20046Takes a long time to build up momentum, and when it does, it then sinks back into a very sentimental 2nd half. There are some funny moments, but it's not as funny as you'd think. A good movie, but more jokes and less of the sentimental stuff would have helped.

Oct 7, 20117This was a very funny movie, I watched it again recently and it still had its fun in it. The best part in the movie was when he used his powers to influence the news anchor into saying the wrong things and doing dumb things.
-
Dec 29, 20108When I watch this I laugh all the time! It's really funny. I'm not too sure about Jennifer Aniston though but Jim Carrey is at his best. To me it's a classic.

75Aniston, as a sweet kindergarten teacher and fiancee, shows again (after "The Good Girl") that she really will have a movie career.
-
33Like his (Carrey) early work, it's not a particularly good film -- insipidly staged, inanely plotted, too weak to withstand the weight of any inquiries into logic or continuity -- but Carrey's energetic mugging, particularly early on, makes it relatively painless.
-
50The screenplay doesn't ultimately make much sense. Carrey is a unique comic talent, though, and Freeman and Aniston back him up with such sensitive supporting performances that the film almost works if you can suspend enough disbelief to swallow its fantastic premise.
