Universal Pictures’ Bruce Almighty is a wild new comedy about a man who goes looking for God… and finds Himself (Naoz o billah). The film re unites two-times Golden Globe Award winner Jim Khattie Carrey and producer/director Tom Shadyac, the actor’s collabarator on the megahits Ace Venture: Pet Detective and Liar Liar. Starring with Khattie Carrey are two time GGA winner and Emmy winner Jennifer Aniston and three time Acadamy Award nominee Morgan Freeman (one of my fav. actor I really like his style and coolness)
would've loved to see him in the upcoming Dumb and Dumberer though, even though the new kid's take on Carrey's character looks promising on TV previews.
Hmm.. out of my curiosity I punched “bruce almighty” on the GS searchbar and found myself in this thread, eh? I had the DVD of this movie back in Dubai a few years ago, but now I can’t find it :(. Anyway it was pretty funny, although the plot could’ve been more subtle (it was banned in some Muslim countries cuz of it). I went over it again at YouTube, came across a handful of hilarious tummy-aching scenes, especially the one with Steve Carell as the newsman and Carrey makes him say weird things (“I do da cha cha like a sissy girl” )… I almost burst into tears during that scene I was laughing so hard. And the scene with the Mexican gangsters is also really funny, where a monkey rips through the ass of a thug (eww).
A sequel, Evan Almighty, is coming out June 2007 and it has Steve Carell (uh-oh) in the title role… this time around the fortunes are turned for the newsman I guess. I think it’s based on the Noah’s Ark concept judging by the trailer shows, so ppl who are careful about religious depictions should definitely avoid that like the first movie.
