Bruce Almighty [Blu-ray] Review

This is a review for the film BRUCE ALMIGHTY (2003), dby Tom Shadyak and released by Universal Studios.

A TV reporter, played by Jim Carrey, frustrated by work and domestic
problems demands an explanation from God and ultimately meets the Man Himself, played by Morgan Freeman. God decides to take a vacation and let Bruce Nolan, the reporter, run things for a while just to see what He's up against. Bruce soon gains a new understanding of life around him and realizes that this world and the people in it all have faults and are not here just to please or even frustrate him...or Him.

Really well done fantasy made with humor and enough realism to be sort of believable. In fact, most of the characters in this dramady are well drawn and well portrayed, even the weasely one is kind of likable in his way. But maybe I was sitting too close to the screen and some of Morgan Freeman's divine intentions were accidentally splashed on me.
Not that I'm complaining, I wouldn't want to repeat Bruce Nolan's mistakes.

I give BRUCE ALMIGHTY Four Stars.

Bruce Almighty [Blu-ray] Overview

Comic genius Jim Carrey stars with Jennifer Aniston and Morgan Freeman in the entertaining comedy hit of the year that critics are applauding as a “laugh a minute” (Jim Ferguson, FOX-TV). Bruce Nolan (Carrey) is a TV reporter who believes the entire universe is stacked against him. In a life-altering encounter, the Big Guy Upstairs (Freeman) endows Bruce with all His divine powers and challenges Bruce to take on the big job to see if he can do it any better. Bruce Almighty is the wildly funny comedy featuring “Jim Carrey at his best” (Leonard Maltin, Hot Ticket).

Bruce Almighty [Blu-ray] Specifications

Bestowing Jim Carrey with godlike powers is a ripe recipe for comedy, and Bruce Almighty delivers the laughs that Carrey's mainstream fans prefer. The high-concept premise finds Carrey playing Bruce Nolan, a frustrated Buffalo TV reporter, stuck doing puff-pieces while a lesser colleague (the hilarious Steven Carell) gets the anchor job he covets. Bruce demands an explanation from God, who pays him a visit (in the serene form of Morgan Freeman) and lets Bruce take over while he takes a brief vacation. What does a petty, angry guy do when he's God? That's where Carrey has a field day, reuniting with his Ace Ventura and Liar, Liar director, Tom Shadyac, while Jennifer Aniston gamely keeps pace as Bruce's put-upon fiancée. Carrey's actually funnier before he becomes Him, and the movie delivers a sappy, safely diluted notion of faith that lacks the sincerity of the 1977 hit Oh, God! Still, we can be thankful that Carrey took the high road and left Little Nicky to Adam Sandler. --Jeff Shannon
