Synopsis: Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a local Eyewitness News TV reporter in Buffalo, New York, best known for doing human interest stories - which makes everyone happy but him. Bruce would much rather be replacing the soon-to-retire anchorman. Essentially, Bruce is disconnected with everything in his life and rarely misses an opportunity to complain about it. He has a loving girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston), who runs a day care center and adores Bruce in spite of his negativity. Bruce is handed a great opportunity when he's asked to do the 23rd anniversary of Niagra Falls' famed Maid of the Mist boat, which will air live during sweeps. But the mist hits the fan when it's announced on-air - just before Bruce goes live - that the co-anchor position, about to be vacated, is going to Bruce's superficial rival. In front of millions of viewers, Bruce has an on-camera meltdown, punctuated by a four-letter word not yet cleared for network television. On this worst day of Bruce's life, he's fired from the station, beaten up by a gang of toughs, and his car is vandalized. Furious, Bruce rails and rages against the Lord for his rotten luck - which is followed by a curious set of signs, one of which leads him to an old building called Omni Presents, Inc. There, Bruce meets a janitor who reveals himself to be who he really is - God! He's heard Bruce's complaints and now has an offer for the choleric newscaster - his job. By endowing Bruce with all his powers, God challenges him to take on the job and see if he can do any better!

My Review: Every Jim Carrey movie is a class all thanks to his amazingly super-funny spine-tingling act. He was great in The Mask, better in Ace Ventura and even better here in Bruce Almighty. The movie is 95% hilarious with a little twist of emotion-filled scenes that amount for the remaining 5%. The actress opposite to Jim is the beautiful Jennifer Aniston. The main motive of the movie is to convey that if you feel unlucky its not because god isn't listening to you... But in fact god's got so many prayers to answer that it takes a little more than required to get through your wishes. Wow! What a stupid logic! But anyway I loved the movie and I give it a 5/5. Check it out!
