It's a nice return to comedy for Carrey.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

While Carrey's antics are good for some laughs, the film ultimately falls apart, thanks to a heavy-handed screenplay with enough sugar and sweetness to induce a diabetic coma.

| Nov 15, 2019

Although Carrey's built-in audience base will undoubtedly be thanking The Almighty this weekend for Bruce Almighty, with so many other films out there right now, this one can be put on the back burner.

Spiritual enlightenment is served as a side dish to the main course of orgasm and orifice jokes. Steve Carell gets the film's only good scene, easily You-Tubed, with an on-air gibberish seizure.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 24, 2019

As entertainment, it gives good value: it's light, quick and diverting. Morgan Freeman, predictably, gives it heart, gravitas and the appearance of wisdom; but it's Carrey who keeps all the balls in the air with refined mania.

It's no divine comedy, there's no real revelation, but the funny bits are up there with Jim Carrey's best.

| Original Score: B | Jan 4, 2018

There are enough goofball touches in Bruce Almighty to carry the movie to a certain extent... However, when the time comes for Bruce to "share and learn", the effect is trite and embarrassing.

| Jan 3, 2018

Happily deranged comedy has typical Carrey humor.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

Ultimately, Bruce Almighty is an excuse for Jim Carrey to be crazy and zany. He puts on his comedy hat and has fun with the script. It's made for the Jim Carrey fan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 21, 2010

For all its swings for the fences, the movie never rises above being lightly amusing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 9, 2010

It fails to really use Carrey's comedic ability and it ultimately wastes the potential it reaps.

| Apr 29, 2009

The inspiration flags after a while, but there are many hilarious moments, and the resolution (thanks to Jennifer Aniston as Carrey's put-upon girlfriend) is sweetly touching.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

There's remarkably little done with a premise snatched from high-concept heaven, adding yet another file to the growing cabinet of under-realized comedies.

Full Review | Jul 29, 2008

This is another of Jim Carrey's surefire vehicles that can be whittled down to a phrase: Jim Carrey is the Grinch; Jim Carrey is God.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 11, 2007

The premise sounds good, but this time around the result is forced and undercooked.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 14, 2007

If only the writers had thought to open up the concept beyond dog-on-toilet gags.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 9, 2007

Director Shadyac and his three scriptwriters prove much more fallibly flawed than their omnipotent hero.

| Jun 24, 2006

But the big surprise is Carell. Known mainly for playing one of Julia-Louis Dreyfus' friends on the anemic sitcom Watching Ellie, the young funnyman is a revelation here.
