Bruce Almighty
Bruce Nolan toils as a "human interest" television reporter in Buffalo, NY, but despite his high ratings and the love of his beautiful girlfriend, Bruce remains unfulfilled. At the end of the worst day in his life, he angrily ridicules God — and the Almighty responds, endowing Bruce with all of His divine powers.
Critics Sentiment
Bruce employs divine abilities for personal gain and revenge
Bruce hit by truck after asking God to take back powers
The film drops sharply from its comedic peak when Bruce uses his powers for revenge to the awkward dramatic turn of his near-fatal truck accident.
Bruce Almighty starts solidly and builds to exceptional comedy highs when Carrey unleashes divine powers for personal gain, generating consistent laughs with creative sight gags. However, the film stumbles significantly in its final act as it shifts from comedy to heavy-handed drama, with reviewers finding the sentimental resolution overly preachy despite appreciating the overall message and Carrey's more restrained performance.
