7-9-17 3rd viewing....bought it today. Dang thing worked on me -- funny bone and heart strings. Forgot way much of the story and remembered a lot of the high-points and jokes. Love how Hollywoodishly old-school this work is -- even the credits. This one seems personally crafted with slap stick that actually had me laugh aloud -- that's rare. Meanwhile the camera loved the faces, and the film was fast paced with a lot of story to get told. Nice in many ways, but mostly excellent for its genre. I'll watch again -- hoping to hold off doing so too soon, but once a year would not be too often.

7-20-17 4th viewing.....go figure. I committed to watching it a bit too soon and had to follow through for reasons that are not to be told. Meanwhile the film yet could wring a hee or a ha out of me with ease. I laughed aloud again. I got stingy eyes again. I don't know why. Gotta be that everyone should see this film or be considered odd at the water fountain in the office where no one wants to know you anymore.

Not much of a step up from DVD, I would wait

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020

I Have the DVD but was looking a for better PQ. Sadly I was mistaken with this release and right away I was annoyedwith how it looked. Yes it fills the screen but Colors are way off as they are flat and skin tones are yellowish. Not very sharp looking and at times things seem slightly blurred or over smoothed. Sometimes colors are supper bright but still flat.

The movie is still fun and funny and I started to enjoy it after I forgot how bad it was looking.
Buy at your own risk. This title needs a major overhaul when it comes to how it looks.

This review does not reflect how good the movie is Just how it looks on Blu-Ray. Movie is still good and one of my Fav Jim Carry films. Wish I only paid $2 for this and not $6.

Feel good, few stumbles, overall - enjoyable comfortable ride

They gloss over a *lot* during this movie... and there must be a lot on the cutting room floor too, as the story line jumps a bit, but they put together a fun collection of scenes and skits, made for a fun ride and Jim carries the rest on his comedic / charismatic style.

There's a tendency to deliver some heavy lines with almost no build up, to give an appearance of depth here and there, but really it's just a fun romp and a likable hero to travel with until the happily ever after.

Safe background entertainment for when you don't want to take too many chances but want to smile.

Hilarious and Full of Heart - One of My Favorites!

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is one of my all time favorite movies! I'm not always a huge fan of Jim Carrey because I sometimes find his movie characters/voices and comedy to be so over that top that it's annoying, but I love him in this movie because it's the perfect blend of physical comedy, sarcasm, and heart. Jim Carey plays Bruce Nolan, a TV reporter frustrated with the fluff stories he gets sent to cover, like the world's largest cookie, and amuses himself by being funny in his comments on air, but is really upset that he's not taken seriously and always bypassed for his co-worker, Evan Baxter (Steve Carrel). His girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston) loves him but is frustrated by his lack of seriousness about the future of their relationship and selfishness but tries to stand by him even when he gets fired for an angry on air outburst, but breaks up with him eventually. He feels like everything is crumbling around him and blames God (Morgan Freeman).

After an angry rant at God, he goes to an abandoned building where he meets God. God has filing cabinets of all the things everyone's done wrong (boy, I'd hate to see mine haha) and he gives a few examples of Bruce's failures. Morgan Freeman is perfect as God - he's witty but seeks to teach Bruce a lesson by saying "If you think you can do better than me, go ahead." Comedy ensues as Bruce abuses his power by embarrassing Evan on air and making his sex life better for example. Eventually Bruce gets back to work and covers crazy stories but he finds it means nothing without Grace and that after a few weeks with powers, he feels bombarded with the world's struggles and starts to see that being God isn't easy and that he needed to change so he could be better for himself and others. I love the heart and messages of the movie: being selfish leads to losing things you love, be careful what you wish for, you can't change someone's free will even if you are God, and take a moment to think of the needs/struggles of others and how you can help them instead of yourself. Bruce has a life changing experience that changes him for the better.

This movie is the perfect blend of funny and serious and has so many laugh out loud moments and a phenomenal cast - you won't be disappointed!

I Chose a Jim Carrey Movie?? Really??

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2017

Took me awhile to see this movie and it was a surprise choice because I am not a fan of Jim Carrey's movies. This one though was so funny to me. I have been in Bruce Nolan's shoes so many times. Morgan Freeman is also the reason I decided to rent this movie. He is one of my favorites. It doesn't surprise me that he was the one asked to play God. Jennifer Aniston is one of my favorite actresses and she had a good performance (imho). It was much better than I thought it would be and it made my day.
Jim Carrey is just the opposite (in real life) of the character Bruce Nolan, so seeing this movie made it all the more funny. While it an older movie, it still is worth watching. Seeing it for the first time, I think it was hilarious. I thought it was much better than most of the movies coming out in 20teens.

The Feel Good Factor - B E A UUUUTIFUL!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

Like a few of the reviewers of this film, I must confess, I never have been a fan or particularly keen on films starring Jim Carrey. However, in this particular instance, I am more than happy to make this the exception to the rule and to give credit where credit is due, Jim Carrey's inimitable, zany, OTT style is exactly what makes this film eminently watchable. Personally, I think JC's performance and portrayal of the character Bruce Nolan is superb, quite exceptional and outstanding - he simply excels. The character is played with such enthusiasm and zest, you cannot but help become quickly immersed and absorbed in the storyline, no matter how "outlandish", at first, it may appear.

Underpinning the wonderful humour and amazing visual comedy is a nice, touching and moral storyline. The film, like Jim Carrey's style, is fast-paced but gently slows during the more touching and thoughtful moments. This film cannot fail to amuse from the outset and by the end would [well it should] have uplifted and touched you on a few levels but do not want to disclose any of the content for fear of spoiling it for any other potential viewers.

This is a role where JC truly excels himself but this review would not be complete without acknowledging the supporting roles portrayed by Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston certainly, in their respective roles, equal to that of Jim Carrey's performance and also, in his own way, Steve Carrell. I guess the moral of the story is that `the grass is not always greener on the other side', and what we consider important, is not necessarily the case but it is a real cool, best of fun, barrel of laughs, roller-coaster of a ride, learning that.

I could write at greater length but will refrain from doing so because, as stated previously, do not want to disclose any content to spoil it for anyone else considering watching. Laugh? It had been quite a while since I had so thoroughly enjoyed such natural, side-splitting, belly-aching, exuberant and frequent outbursts of laughter and mirth such as those experienced while watching `Bruce Almighty' and whenever I watch it again, it never fails to amuse, delight and uplift.

This film most definitely has the `Feel Good Factor', in bundles. . . .

Is this a good film - No, it's good, GOOD! Watch it you'll see. It is indeed, B E A UUUUUTIFUL!

As an afterthought having, now, watched this, maybe, just maybe, I will reconsider my opinion of Jim Carrey, give him the benefit of the doubt and might well watch some of his other movies.

I've always loved the movies Jim has been in as they are always funny due to his great skill for comady & jokes and I think this one is one of his best yet.

Given the job of being god for a short time Bruce decides to make his life good for himself, from changeing his car into a sports car to makeing his job to find storys easyer. But one thing he must not forget is there are others out there who also need help but will he remember that ?

"Parting a soup now thats just a magic trick but a 24 year old single mother who has 2 kids and a low cash income but yet still manages to survive everyday now thats a miricale" - (God) Bruce Almighty

A very funny movie with great jokes and so much fun to watch too.

Ive read alot about this bluray being terrible in picture quality etc...

To be honest, It doesnt look bad at all, could it look better? sure, but it still looks miles better than the dvd.

Im watching this on a OLED LG and i personaly think it looks fantastic.

Pros:
- Jim Carrey
- Jim Carrey
- Jim Carrey on Bluray
- Jim Carrey in 1080p

Cons:
- Extras could have at least been remastered for HD, Too many film studios just put the extras on the disc in SD.

Bruce is just an ordinary guy going through a rough patch in life! He loses his job,gets beaten up and things just get worse for Bruce.God(played by the brilliant Morgan Freeman) makes a deal with Bruce.So for one week Bruce has God's powers! In this week he goes from having fun with his new powers to learning responsibility.This is one of Jim Carrey's best movies.

Saw this movie as a trailer and my kids were laughing at it, so to buy it on a whim for cold winter holidays I bought this and it has turned out to be one of the most watched in our home! Jim Carrey is so funny in this movie and appeals to both children and adults alike. Jim Carrey wasn't one of my favourite actors at one point but now I love him!
