Bruce Almighty Reviews |
Much less effort seems to have gone into thinking through this predictable, corny story about a loser who trades places with God than the admittedly impressive effects, which include a dog repeatedly sprinkling computer-generated urine onto the star - whose clothes nevertheless remain improbably dry. [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
...we're left with a handful of laugh-out loud scenes, some chuckles, a bogus romance and not enough gas to cover the film's short runtime, which sadly peters out with about twenty minutes to go and turns into sentimental sap that simply does not work. [read review] 5/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Putting aside the juvenile humor (which is admittedly, albeit unevenly, funny), all that's left is a woefully underwritten motion picture that starts out as a dumb comedy before taking an ill-advised detour into mawkish sentimentality. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Even apart from the fact that it's not nearly funny enough, "Bruce Almighty" is a peculiar film, a movie about spirituality that's completely unspiritual, rather like a musical written and scored by the tone-deaf. [read review]
--Mick LaSalle (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Bruce Almighty" may be too saccharine for some, but it's mostly a smart, surprisingly thought-through blockbuster, with a decent grasp of the theological implications of its idea. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
This movie might not prove to be a summer blockbuster, but its light-hearted human comedy and brilliant physical timing will make it a crowd pleaser for sure. [read review]
--Antony Teofilo (CountingDown)
The hugely talented Jim Carrey has the power of God but unless you like boob jokes and preachy sentimentalism, this comedy isn't funny at all. [read review]
--Andrew O'Hehir (Salon)
It certainly marks Carrey's worst movie to date, and provides a perfectly good excuse for the actor to focus solely on dramatic roles. [read review]
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
When a comedy resorts to borrowing a scene from "Old School" to make you laugh, you know you've got a disappointment on your hands. [read review] 4/10
--Scott Spicciati (Movie-Vault.com)
Average comedy with several good gags – Carrey is good, but it’s just a shame the film didn’t aim a little higher. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Typical Carrey comedy - it's got a few funny moments, but more often than not it's just plain annoying. [read review] 4/10
--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
Plays to the middle of the road – designed to be a big, safe, summer movie. [read review] 66/100
--Jamie Gillies (Apollo Guide)
You know how many times I laughed during “Bruce Almighty”? ZERO! [read review]
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
It’s certainly funny enough to sit back and relax [read review] B
