As good as I expected it to be, maybe even better.

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2003)

Some people might Think I'm crazy for giving this a 9 of 10, but I thought it was great as both a comedy and a sweet, involving story.I had seen the previews for this and couldn't wait to see the movie. I was afraid that the movie wouldn't live up to the previews(something that happens QUITE frequently in movie land.) Boy was I wrong!
This was very enjoyable from start to finish. The movie is very moving and funny and also manages to make a quiet statement about not taking what you have in life for granted and being happy with yourself and your choices.
Some people may consider Bruce Almighty corny but I thought it was done very well and managed to make it's point without coming across as preachy.
What also surprised me was how much I enjoyed Jim Carey's performance. I had seen some of his other work and couldn't say I was very impressed but he was very good in this. Maybe it's because, for the first time I felt rather then just being very in your face funny he was actually ACTING-and he proved himself to be a pretty good actor. Anniston to did a surprisingly sweet performance as Bruce's girlfriend and Morgan was PEREFECTLY cast as God.
This was a movie that had me laughing SO hard but crying too-beautifully done without being at all overdone Bruce Almighty is a perfect movie choice. 9 of 10.
