Despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston), local TV reporter Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) doesn't think that the world is treating him fairly. Then, after his worst day ever, Bruce angrily rails against God for ruining his life and mismanaging the universe! So God (Morgan Freeman) responds... and endows Bruce with all of his powers to see if Bruce can do a better job! From the hit-making director of Liar, Liar and the writer who brought you The Nutty Professor... all hilarity breaks loose when a little divine intervention lets the always unpredictable Jim Carrey spend a week playing God! (Disney / Buena Vista)

The first half is fast-paced, funny and entertaining, I had a great time. But from the moment Bruce starts dealing with his emotional issues, the whole movie goes to hell. In the second half the screenwriter seems to have run out of ideas, the plot moves forward at a snail's pace and Bruce's clarification of his relationship with his partner is almost unbearable due to the level of sentimentality. But looking at the fantastic box office, I guess that's exactly what Americans want. Nothing for me. Oh, and one more thing, Jennifer Aniston, recently named The World's No.1 Celebrity, is a terrible actress.

If it weren't so family oriented and if there were more humor, it could have been a really funny movie. Like this it is for everyone, but ultimately for no one. But even in this politically correct form, it's good fun with some great gags and the great Carrey/Freeman duo. It’s just that the potential could have been exploited a little more, or a lot more.

The first half of Bruce Almighty has a few good jokes and Jim Carrey puts on a great show, but the second half is just another bogus and sentimental morality tale for the naïve American mainstream.
