Jim Carrey stars in this DVD comedy. He portrays a goofy, bumbling newscaster in Buffalo who thinks God is against him and gives him no breaks. Special features include deleted scenes, bloopers & blunders. Jim Carrey returns to his zany, manic roots in this Capraesque comedy from director Tom Shadyac (ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE and LIAR LIAR). Carrey stars as Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, New York who lives a normal life with his sweet girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston). But Bruce isn't satisfied, and after a particularly bad day where everything goes wrong, he blames God. After spewing a tirade of curses God's way, God (Morgan Freeman in a gentlemanly white suit) responds and challenges Bruce to take over and see if he can run things better. Of course, there are some conditions; Bruce can only have the "almighty" powers for 24 hours and only in the Buffalo area. This doesn't stop Bruce, and he responds to his newfound powers with selfish, childlike zeal. Like a kid in a candy store, Bruce sets off making one hysterical, yet disastrous, decision after another. He pulls the moon closer to the earth so he can have a more romantic evening with Grace, unaware that his actions cause a tidal wave in Japan and responds to the prayers of the world with a mass-email "yes" that creates millions of lottery winners, riots, and mayhem. Ultimately, Bruce proves he is only human, and cannot possibly fill God's shoes, although he has a great time trying. Theatrical release: May 23, 2003 Bruce Almighty Reviews: "[Carrey] is a comedy giant."
-- Chris Roberts, Uncut "...The notion of omnipotence prompts Mr. Carrey to go to new adrenaline-crazed comic extremes....[He] sustains a maniacal energy that explodes off the screen in blinding electrical zaps..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...The supporting cast, led by Jennifer Aniston and Steven Carrell, offers up some engaging comedy..."
-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "...A charmer....[Aniston] can play comedy, which is not easy, and she can keep up with Carrey while not simply mirroring his zaniness..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...Carrey, for his part is in hilarious form as Bruce..."
-- Michael Tunison, Box Office "...It works. High concept, low comedy. What more do you want from a Carrey flick? And there are some neat touches too..."

It’s fun to have God’s powers.................. The film centers around Bruce's angry rage against God -- the result of a bad day -- and God responds by giving Bruce with divine powers, and then challenges him to take on the big job and see if he can do it any better!
It’s fun to have God’s powers...and if you don’t believe it, just ask Bruce Nolan (JIM CARREY), because he should know!
Bruce is a local Eyewitness News TV reporter in Buffalo, New York, best known for doing humorous, homespun, human interest stories...which make everyone happy but him! Bruce would much rather be replacing the soon-to-retire anchorman, or at the very least, reporting significant news from international hot spots. Essentially, Bruce is discontented with nearly everything in his life, and rarely misses an opportunity to complain about it. He has a loving girlfriend, Grace (JENNIFER ANISTON), who runs a day care center, is happy with her life, and adores Bruce in spite of his negativity. While he dreams of becoming a legend like Walter Cronkite, she tries to help the world one day at a time.
Bruce is handed a good opportunity when he’s asked to do a story on the 23rd anniversary of Niagara Falls’ famed Maid of the Mist boat, which will air live during sweeps. But the mist hits the fan when it’s announced on-air--just before Bruce goes live--that the co-anchor position about to be vacated is going to Bruce’s superficial and supercilious rival. In front of television viewers, Bruce has a major-league, no-holds-barred, on-camera meltdown, punctuated by a four-letter word not yet cleared for broadcast television.
One disaster follows another on this, the worst day of Bruce Nolan’s life, as he’s fired from the station, beaten up by a gang of toughs, who then vandalize his car. Furious, Bruce rails and rages against the Lord for his rotten luck...which is followed by a curious series of signs and portents--most of which Bruce ignores--but one of which eventually leads him to a nondescript old building called Omni Presents, Inc.
There, Bruce meets an equally nondescript janitor (MORGAN FREEMAN), who ultimately reveals himself for who He really is...yep, he’s God!
He’s heard Bruce’s complaints, and now has an offer for the choleric ex-newscaster...His job. By endowing Bruce with all of His powers, God challenges him to take on the big job and see if he can do any better!
And once Bruce convinces himself that he’s not dreaming, having a nightmare or a psychotic episode, he proceeds to utilize the infinite powers at his disposal, great and small, for his own amusement, advancement and advantage until finally he stands at a crossroads: whether or not he will become the biggest and most powerful jerk in the universe, or find a little bit of humanity in Bruce Almighty.

Really Funny Movie Bruce Almighty is an hilarious comedy from start to finish. The whole cast was terrific but the funny thing is Jim Carrey wasan't even the funniest person in the movie. Steve Carrell is. He stole every scene in the movie and in my opinion he was the funniest person in the movie. The movie will keep you laughing through out the whole movie. It also has a lot of heart too. Especially towards the end. So overall it is one of Jim Carrey's best movies. Check it out and have a fun time watching it. A Good dvd to add to your collection.
