Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2012)

Bruce Almighty is a fantasy comedy about a down-on-his-luck TV reporter who complains to God that He isn't doing His job correctly, and is then offered the chance to try being God himself for one week.It stars Jim Carrey together with Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, Catherine Bell, Lisa Ann Walter, and Philip Baker Hall.It was directed by Tom Shadyac, who previously teamed with Jim Carrey for Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Bruce Nolan is a TV reporter working in Buffalo, NY, who has been growing increasingly dissatisfied with his existence, and after an especially bad day, he flies into a rage and curses God for making his life miserable. To Bruce's great surprise, the Supreme Being Himself appears, and tries to convince Bruce of the enormity of his task. Bruce, however, isn't buying it, so God gives him a chance to find out what he's up against.Also,He bestows all of his powers on Bruce for a week, to see how he'd handle things. At first, Bruce has a great time bending the world around him to his will, much to the puzzlement of his girlfriend, Grace, but after six days God stops by to remind Bruce he hasn't done much to make the Earth a better place. Disappointed, God presents Bruce with an ultimatum wherein he has one day to improve the world in a concrete way, or God will toss the planet back into the void.
Carrey is hilarious in the slapstick scenes being the Supreme Almighty and it has an interesting premise wherein he plays God.Also,the film mostly succeeds at fusing his talents as a comedian which makes it a funny and heartwarming movie.It is the kind of movie that is made for Jim Carrey himself and no one could play the main character perfectly except him.
