From Amazon.co.uk

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny but with a serious undertone 11 Dec 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Lynn and Chris from Burnley: This film is very funny, Jim Carrey at his best. He has the day from hell and blames God, so gets the chance to be God to see if he can do any better. Of course the novelty of having God's powers soon wears off and he realises how big a job it really is and how people's lives can be changed in a moment. Very funny, but with a serious undertone.

5.0 out of 5 stars very witty 7 Jan 2004
Format:DVD
I saw this film many times, it is very witty and clever. Once you see this film you will want to watch it again and again, without it losing its humour. The extras aren't great but the film is brilliant and very clever with its humour.

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't understand what they mean! 5 Jan 2012
Format:Blu-ray
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the video quality of this blu ray release - sure, it's not the sharpest one out there, but it's not unwatchable because of its quality, and it's way ahead of the DVD version. I was rather put off when I read the reviews about how bad the quality was, but I'm glad I bought the movie anyways. This is a great movie and if you don't already have it (or like me, wants to upgrade from DVD), get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Goood 27 Nov 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars HE'S GOT THE POWER!!! 13 Jan 2004
Format:DVD
I have to be honest, as a child, I used to love films with Jim Carey, but after I hit 12, I hated them. I found them cheesy and predictable, so I’m sure you can understand why I was quite skeptical about watching Bruce Almighty. But it was well worth the risk.
This is very entertaining film that opens just as another Jim Carey type of movie, but turns into more than that. The film is funny, enthralling, but the light drama about self-discovery, faith and prayer is what stands out above all. The film was directed by veteran comedy filmmaker Tom Shadyac, who also directed Carey in Ace Ventura (a film which I hated immensely); Pet Detective and Liar, Liar. In addition to Carey, the whole cast is solid with Morgan Freeman as God and Jennifer Aniston as Bruce’s dedicated girlfriend.
Carey plays television reporter Bruce Nolan, who is always looking to make it to the big top as Buffalo, New York’s nightly anchorman. However, Bruce is always stuck with side stories that he enjoys doing, but wants more. He is continually supported by his sweet school teacher girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston), who just wants happiness. As the film opens, one bad thing after another happens to Bruce including losing his job, and he blames God for picking on him.
The next thing he knows is he is summoned and encounter by God (Morgan Freeman), who endows Bruce with all of his powers, since he believes he can do better. With the powers, Bruce walks on water, gets a flashy car, and makes his dog use the toilet among other things. However, when things get out of hand due to his self-indulging choices of his new powers, instead of helping others, he turns back to God for answers.
Bruce Almighty is a light comedy with the force of Jim Carrey that is better than what it first perceives to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I am Bruce Almighty. My will be done." 15 Jan 2009
By Andrew Kerr TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
Bruce Almighty is a comedy that was released in 2003 and was directed by Tom Shadyac. The cast comprises of Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman, Philip Baker Hall, and Jennifer Aniston.

Local TV reporter Bruce Nolan (Carrey) is having a rough time. Nothing seems to be going right for him, and after the worst day of his life, he becomes outraged and starts to blame God for ruining his life. He even stands in the middle of the road and shouts "Smite me oh mighty smighter." Shortly after this, he finds himself face to face with his creator (Freeman), who hasn't liked all of Bruce's complaining, so decides to endow Bruce with all of his powers for one week, to see if Bruce can do a better job than him. Bruce initially doesn't believe it and simply thinks that the man he saw was insane, but soon comes to release that's it true, and sets about to have some fun. But when things start to get serious he is unprepared, and this leads to some strange but funny situations.

The plot to Bruce Almighty is simple, but fun and entertaining. The film is very comical in places, and it's easy to watch. It's also quite sad at times, and has a deeper meaning about the value of life, and how the world does not evolve around one person. We've all had bad days, so I think there is something we can all relate to in the film.

Two of my favourite scenes that come to mind are when some thugs (who had earlier beaten up Bruce) get their comeuppance. And when Bruce sabotages Evan's (a rival reporter) performance on air.

The characters in the film are great, very believable and easy to identify with. The acting from the main cast is fantastic. Jim Carrey as allows is in good form and Morgan Freeman seems really suited to play the somewhat serious role of God.
