One of Jim Carrey's Best

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2019)

From the director of the hilarious Liar Liar and classic Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Bruce Almighty is a wonderfully funny movie with Jim Carrey and easily holds up very well to this day.
Carrey plays a news reporter, Bruce Nolan, who is having a rough life, fails to be a news anchor man and loses to his rival Evan (played by Steve Carell), and people tend to walk over him. He gets mad at God for his misery, so one day, he meets up with God in a bizarre looking building. God (played by Morgan Freeman), gives Bruce god powers to not only make his life better, but to see what it's like being God. Eventually things take a turn for the worst as Bruce loses his girlfriend, Grace (played by Jennifer Anniston), and must do everything he can in his power to get her back.
Bruce Almighty is a comedy, but it seems like the third act is more serious and dramatic. However, it works because Carrey's character is likable and you feel sorry for him. The first two acts is where the comedy takes place in, and it is done in a great way. Like most of his movies, Carrey delivers a hilarious performance and manages to be as funny as possible. He also had great chemistry with Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Anniston.
The story was pretty good. I can easily compare this movie with The Mask. Instead of him getting magical powers from a ancient mask, he gets powers from God, and is able to use these powers to make his life better.
Overall, Bruce Amighty is a great movie and is one of Carrey's best movies that he has done.
