"Bruce Almighty" — Good Movie!

[Gatekeeper]

Everyone:

If you want a good laugh, Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Aniston, et al., will succeed at just that in "Bruce Almighty," a comedy with a message in theaters right now.

I just got back from it, and I haven't seen an audience crack up like that in a long time, nor get so quiet during the serious (but fleeting) moments.

Two thumbs up from this particular viewer!

I think Jim Carey doesn't have the recognition he deserves in the US. Anyway, yep, the trailer of that movie played just before matrix and the audience gave a pure spontaneous laughter at it. the plot is also original.

I was hoping someone would make a thread about this movie because I loved it.

It looks good... I look forward to seeing it, but Down With Love comes first.

I don't know if the plot is that original — I think the late comedian George Burns (at least I believe he's dead) kind of set things in motion with the whole "God can laugh, too, ya know!" genre of silver screen films.

But the movie is good. I think it's just what people need right now — a reason to laugh til it hurts while also getting a message at the same time.

Yeah, but Burns' movie wasn't about empowering a human with godlike powers. John Denver was just sending us the message that God exists.

I was watching Jim Carrey back when he was on "On Living Color" with the Wayans Brothers. But "Dumb and Dumber" is still my favorite movie from Carrey, not that I've seen this one yet.

This one looks good, I look forward to seeing it.

It looks awful, but I am willing to watch it just for Jennifer Aniston

[Urban Ranger]

Jim Carey? Ill! ::vomit::

Are you nuts? This movie sucked, blew, and stunk. There were a few good laughs, but the plot was uberlame and uberpredictable. Anyone who likes this better not complain about Matrix 2 because that movie is a hundred times better and more fulfilling than this one.

Two words: Cable Guy.

[Imran Siddiqui]

He was great in the Cable Guy! Though the 'Truman Show' was his best.

I think he has the reputation of being just a comedian clown with limited acting abilities. After movies such as dumb and dumber (which I never saw since it seemed repulsive enough) maybe he got that reputation.

A predictable movie in unpredictable times? No way!

I didn't mind Matrix Reloaded, but the "tribal dance" scene in Zion made me wonder if the Wachovski (sp) brothers are sexually deprived or something.
