Bruce Almighty

Plot

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.

About Bruce Almighty

Bruce Almighty is a 2003 American supernatural comedy film starring Jim Carrey. The film follows Bruce Nolan, a down-on-his-luck television reporter who accuses God (played by Morgan Freeman) of not doing his job correctly and is offered the chance to try being God himself for one week. The film was directed by Tom Shadyac and written by Steve Koren, Mark O'Keefe and Steve Oedekerk. Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, Philip Baker Hall and Catherine Bell also star. The film is Shadyac and Carrey's third collaboration, after Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and Liar Liar (1997). When released in American theaters on May 23, 2003 by Universal Pictures, Bruce Almighty received mixed reviews from critics but was a box-office success and grossed $86.4 million in its opening weekend, a Memorial Day record at the time. The film surprised the industry's pundits when it beat The Matrix Reloaded the following weekend. It went on to gross $485 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2003, and the highest grossing faith-based film at the time of its release before being surpassed by The Passion of the Christ (2004). Evan Almighty – a spin-off sequel focusing on Steve Carell's character, with Shadyac and Oedekerk returning to direct and write, respectively, and Freeman also reprising his role – was released on June 22, 2007.
